Is that Irvine driving the 550??

Spotted this morning on the M4 near Heathrow.... With a plate like that it must have been Omar??

Saw you on the A414 yesterday, probably on a test drive, looked lovely! Shame you didn't give it some beans though ;)

I wouldn't buy a car blind mate, you know what Renault are like when it comes to warranty work.

They've given it 4 and a half stars because they're waiting for the cup version to be released so that will get the 5 stars!

Fook me, I was in Dalston yesterday. I thought you meant my motor there for a minute! Glad it isn't though! :D

FFS, that's such a shitter... Where was that at work?? Any chance of catching anything on CCTV?

Was there not an article in Evo or something, saying that the marketing department at Renault wanted the road car to have a rear spoiler and expose the tail pipes more, but the aerodynamic guys stated that it's essential that the road car has no spoiler and keeps the pipes hidden because the...

Spotted a racing blue 182 with stripes last Thursday morning on the A16 out of Calais, following a 360 spider. Also an 04 plate illiad blue V6 heading towards the circuit on the Saturday night about 10'ish, with some weird neon thing going on in the side vents! Cracking weekend, looking...

It always makes me shudder when I hear of technicians wanting to take cars home.... Can't you take him for a spin and show him the prob Lee?

Blimey, you've changed your tune..... it was only a couple of days ago you were claiming that Ktec were for the 'airfix' brigade... and that they didn't worry about quality cos they were all show and no go!? :S

^ Agreed, Ktec seems to be slated by people who have: a) never ordered anything from Ktec, or b) ordered stuff from them not having any idea how to fit it, then do a bodge job and blame Ktec.

It sounds like it could be an engine mount that may need looking at. Most of the 172's knock on full lock and have crap turning circles though.

To make sure the car gets the prestigious 5 Star NCAP, or is it upto 6 star now??

Some pics of the same car from Geneva earlier in the year.

Is it an engine out job to have the 182 manifold fitted?

They design the exhaust and have it manufactured for them I believe. I take it with H&S you mean Hayward & Scott? The professional hand made custom people? A little bit different to Magnex, which I believe Andy does sell.

Most of the people you mention above don't actually manufacture their own systems, and unless you've had an exhaust go and you want to keep the car looking original, then a Ktec stealth system is the only option, unless you want pipes hanging out the back. As for Ktec being for the 'airfix'...

Bad design, but a good quality exhaust according to Mark. In fairness, the welding was for the cat which he temporarily patched up, but the exhaust did need a fair bit of filing down to get a decent fit. I'm well impressed with it though, sounds very nice.

I think they're pony if they're not fitted properly, I bought a ktec stealth and had it fitted by Mark Fish and I'm well impressed. Although he did have to get the angle grinder out and welding kit to get a perfect fit!

Superb, glad to hear he's still around in his Vee!

I bought mine off my friend without test driving, he'd just received a ban due to being clocked at over 100mph on a dual carriageway in it, needless to say I got it at a bargain price!

I had the external aerial on my RA2 and it worked fine upto about 3 months ago, since then it's taken upto an hour to connect to satellites, I read in Evo that they had trouble connecting with the RA Navigator too...

Chris, try Mark Fish.. he done a decent weld on my cat.

Yep, that's Steve's motor, I met him at Mark Fish a few weeks ago, total track car that he uses for corporate events now I think.

lol, that price is like £4k below list, and still people complain it's too expensive.....

It's like anything though, if you want to be one of the first to own a 197 then expect to pay a premium, if not then wait a few months until the dealers decide to make massive discounts on them.

I sat in a 197 at the Geneva motor show, and I was well impressed, ok I didn't drive it. but the seating position and the how solid it felt sold it to me...

Meggerman, you should have confiscated his car keys........ as for silver rear wipers, well you should be arrested for possessing such tat.
