I was thinking the exact same thing, MK1 Spiritos were renowned for it! Anyway bit of a shitter, should have got a Cup, they have handles in proper positions ;)

I was a Sega man at heart, had the master system and mega drive... Loved streets of rage series, 2 being the best imo also loved road rash and desert strike! However, I did buy a SNES for Street fighter 2, the mega drive couldnt cope with the conversion :( I dred to think how much of my...

Fair do's not for me, tapered o.e FTW imo

Try a standard 172 reg, then a proper 172 cup, surely that's the way to find out??

Stunning that!

what a goon!

wtf already, lol!!

Need a guide here, its coming up every day All 197's have Brembos. Cup basically means stiffer lower (7mm) suspension, red brembos anthricite alloys. A 197 Cup loses the soft touch dash, AC, metal pedals, cruise control, and thicker steering wheel over a standard 197 Manual AC can be specced...

The seller now has a yellow one iirc? Shady?

Depends how you're built imo. I'm 5 stone wet and dont have any issues, now on 37k! Maybe it was a skinny guy who tested them originally....

Longer ratio box aint all that imo I've had both, an early 2006 197, and now have a 197 Cup. It probably helps 1/2 mpg if lucky imo Pretty much everything has been covered, Cup packs are noticeable with red calipers and anthracite alloys, the Cup chassis came in mid 2007, so any 06/56 cars...

Flol!!

^same tbh

Not so sure on them, the pic looks right with the strut, and it specifically lists them as for 197, where as the ones you're thinking of just said 2.0 litre ;)

Might be worth looking at these if going for V1's, bit cheaper, rated them on my 172 Cup, not seen anyone with them on a 197 yet...

[/B][/I] Doesn't exist as the 200 has downs, therefore it can't look mean :( ;)

That sows why Mondial owns, best MK2 colour - ;)

At least the 197 is cohesive............. ;) I'd have one like, but much prefer the 197 face See, an AG 200 remind me of and, a 200 can never have this much presence, the nose is too pinched in with the black insert

The usual Cambelt is due (5 years or 70k) Check gearbox, must not be crunchy especially above 5000 rpm. If it is, its hooped If brakes feel crap they are probably seized. The pads and pins in the fronts are prone to this. I get mine stripped down yearly. They should feel awesome. Check...

Love mine, had 2............ I'd never go back unless i had to

Lovely, welcome to the elite ;) Re the steering wheel trim, its for the normal 197 wheel.... It doesn't really fit the cup one as its thinner Had an epic drive in mine yesterday, on the boil they really are superb. Mines V1 shod also :)

+1 However with the age of the vee, would it not have been better in the older renaultsport font?

Re: RENAULT ANNOUNCES THE CLIO RENAULTSPORT 200 CLIOSPORT.NET EDITION Its s**t tbh, was expecting a MK 2 shell, turbo, colour coded diamonds/bullets and some ktec coilovers for the lowz

I doubt they will match the o.e colour tbh, they'll just re do them with a colour off the shelf.

This, I meant to say yesterday. Looked spot on when you left tommies, leave it as it is now, then save the ££ for a nice Phase 2 172 ;)

.............new car syndrome more like ;) If you drove them blindfolded, other than a cupped 200 steering you'd struggle to tell imo So 172 < 182 ;)?

Personally i think there is a glitch in the programming somewhere (which they cant find), as it can also happen when fully warm

3rd to 4th should be smooth above 5k rpm, if its not, the syncro is likely to be on its way out. Lots Mk3 RS's seem to suffer in one way or another.
