Thought id take a few shots of the car as I have been fairly busy this week.
On monday had a Milltek fitted, really pleased with it, sounds just right and fits near on perfectly. Then on friday fitted Osram Diadems all round, although I know everyone will say I should have gone for...

My 197 R27 - sounded nice as standard - you will love it! have a 182 with cup packs now but really miss my 197 - although its nice to have a load of money left over! :)
I had a 197 R27, ive got a 55 plate 182 now with cup packs... I loved the 197, was an awesome car however now I still have a good car but 6k change in my pocket! (not literally haha)
I find I can still have a lot of fun with the 182, just miss the build quality, seats, brakes, gearbox and high...
Would be interested to go out in a clio with decent coilovers on - my mate fitted Gaz coilovers to his 172 ph1 and it was that bouncy it was useless on back roads, the wheels were never in contact with the road to get any traction!
I didnt like the apex springs on my 172, found them ok on smooth roads, but the car pitched and bounced on my favourite b roads when driven hard, making it dangerous. Having said that when i swapped to eibachs I replaced the rear struts at the same time, so not sure if they played a part in it...
Just had a milltek and decat fitted to the 182 this morning, sounds great and fits perfectly! well impressed!
Was worried about it being too loud with the decat but sounds spot on, nice tone without being boomy. Would def recommend the setup

That sounds awesome! Is it boomy at all at cruising speeds? I went a bit extreme when I had my type r with the exhaust and it was unbearable on motorways, also it was impossible to talk to passengers! haha
It is unlucky - but I thought the 197 R27 I had was one of the most forgiving and progressive cars I have driven on the limit - having said that nothing can re write the laws of physics!
Ill have a look - all the pics are here...
