That's another way of solving the problem:D

Brake fluid and coolant reccomended change is at 24k or 4yrs...whichever comes first.

Weld in place TBH the turrets are so close to the bulkhead that I wouldn't of thought a strut brace would make much difference. Looks good under the bonnet though...my old Renault 19 16v had one as standard which looked pretty neat but I think that thing needed it

S**t....forgot about that one...I can usually get the balance right with the rattles in my 172 so I don't notice.

Rattles?...fook it....turn up the music :D

Very, very rare too.

I think Vauxhall are catching up with the OE Subaru & evo but still not in the same league....especially when the jap cars are modified. You look at cars like the WRX STi RA and you've got a brutal rally bred car out of the box...not just about all out bhp but things like weight saving, short...

got a few car lengths in before his afterburners kicked in lol

Great..more figures Like I said..regardless of speed, power......

lol Some of these threads are amusing...some are just silly

No way is any Vectra, VXR etc on a par with an RS4...and we're not just talking outright speed. power etc here I know what I'd rather be seen in:D

Agree...drive a hard bargain Good luck:D

Yep...definately looks the buisness in Iceberg silver:D

Still a Vauxhall and still ugly/bland regardless of speed

Don't think it really matters that much..personally I think if you can stretch to the the Mk2 I'd go for it as it's a better looking car. Whatever you go for they are serious fun and reasonably economical/easy to live with:D

You can order it at a cost...Renault wanted about 300-400 quid for the pack:(

Does depend on oil too....some brands will quieten them down...others wil make most sound like a bag of nails

Mines pretty hesitant on startup.....I think it's just a RS thing

Definatel have the seats if they are in good condition:D

Great car....shame I can't afford one right now and there's no room in the back for bikes:D

Welcome to CS...enjoy the site:D

Welcome to CS

Good review I don't doubt at all that the 197 is probably quicker than it's predeccesors...it's the brakes and suspension that probably make all the difference. Lovely car....just a tad too expensive though:(

I still think you'll get a gain from removing the cat...even if it's only 2bhp a a few ft/lbs of torque.

Good pics:D

Engine should rev more freely and there will be some gains Not sure exactly how much but probably anything up to 5bhp.....not sure what this equates to in performance though.

I'm not sure exactly how much difference there is in terms of gains I do know that the sports cat has far fewer cells than the OE one so is going to be less restrictive but not as much as the full decat. I say if you don't mind changing over the decat to the cat at MOT time it's probably...

Probably would..the Golf isn't the best handling car

I'd like one as a project car....but not as a daily driver
