197

Hello, I have a Renault Clio RS 197 2006 with about 90 000km. The car is used regularly but yesterday it unfortunately did not start. It turns around on the starter but does not fire up. The battery is in good condition. I have tried an OBD reader of a simple model for error code reading but...

Hi all. I picked up my 56 plate 197 yesterday and am overall pretty happy with it. However, I have a few questions regarding mods that I was hoping you good people could assist with. The car has had a couple of modifications already, the most obvious being a Scorpion exhaust......I was under...

Hello :) I'm wanting to for a 197 engine into my 182 and I was wondering if anyone has done it before and could help me out with a few things? Gearbox hubs/shafts and wireing?

Saw this twice on Sunday (yesterday) First time it was heading towards Bathgate round mid day and Second time same road heading towards newbridge round 5:40ish.. Looked good, cup spoiler on it as well.

Looked a superb example with Prescott hill climb sticker on rear. Immaculate gloss black alloys. Car looked pristine. Was going to get a pic but car had gone by time I came out of shop.

Hi all I've just purchased a nice low mileage 197 which I pick up on Tuesday. Love the look of the car, but slightly unconvinced by the rear spoiler so hoping it will grow on me! For the past 2.5 years, I've had a lightly modded Mazda 6mps putting out around 290bhp and just wanted something...

My subframe got bent on an accident and I need one urgently does anyone know someone that's breaking a 197 or selling one cheers

Having read a few threads on this subject and having a 197 engine to hand it seems like a good idea. From what I've read you just need to tap the 197 head for the water pump idler and it bolts straight on then you fit the 197 pistons, rods and crank into the 172 block and Roberts your Fathers...

Just wondering if anyone has fitted one of these and if so... Is it a difficult job? What do you need etc

Hi all. Done a search but I'm not finding much info. I know people have do/are doing this conversion. Anyway I'm currently halfway thru one and just need some help. I've used the Clio box and Meg engine with Clio driveshafts. Basically my questions are What radiator and coolant pipes...

Only caught sight out of the corner of my eye, was noisy! Was at around 5pm ish

So a friend of mine recently had his 197 sent off to Tech-1 for a little bit of a change, shall we say. He got it back last weekend and really wanted some nice pictures of it, so we headed out today (after Llandow) for a little photo shoot if you will. His car is running a Megane 225 engine...

Picked her up n Monday... 2009 197 Cup in white, needed a car for daily duties with a 70 mile round trip commute and always fancied a 197. Cheers Steve

Driving through Harlow today and spotted two brand new beemers wrapped in the disruptive pattern they wear to disguise them when on trials. Also parked next to another clio 197 today in Harlow town. Had a good chat with the owner. Wonder if he is on here? Was in his 60s and said he loved his car...

White 197 spotted at 7:30am this morning parked up on Bernard Terrace. Reg was FP08 FWD.

Had a little play down the dually. Misses got a little scared haha looking clean

I just bought my first 197 a week ago any suggestions on a new stereo as mine doesn't have a aux cheers

Spotted a silver 197heading west on the roundabout from Calder Road over the City Bypass this morning at 9:50am. Reg was NL08 HSG.

Red 197 on Castle Road going in to Salisbury, Waved at me . Anyone off here

Hai

just spotted a albi blue 197 in paddock wood around 3:40pm i left a spotted card on their windscreen unsure if they are on here or not?

Have often wondered this , just saw another thread which said with the help of a bracket you can fit brembos to the mk2. Given than the mk2 have 16s does this still apply to the 197 ?

Hey all.. Just yesterday I got the most bizarre noise from the car, it sounded like a vibration and only did this from 2 - 2 half thousand revs and only when driving. Now today it sounds like it's blowing and coming from centre section. My question is what do I replace it with? I am going to get...

Pitch black and chucking it down with rain so didn't get a proper look but I am slightly jealous you have the Recaros and I don't.

Hi, hope I'm posting in the right thread. I've seen a 197 in a garage near me and I've even taken it for a test drive. I do like the car and I think it's a good price. I just wondered if anyone had any advise on this car or if anyone could give their thoughts on it? Thanks...

hi all, i purchased a toyosport manifold to replace the standard as the flexis had gone on the original, got it fitted friday and had a call to say there was a problem with how close it comes to the crossmember touching on idle. i have uprated all the engine mounts to powerflex to remove the...

Didn't see you to say hi, I parked in front of you in the Black non sport. Had ClioSport sticker.

Are pattern part exhausts (mild steel to OE spec) available for the 197 ? Or is it stainless system eg milltek , scorpion as the only aftermarket options ? The internet doesn't reveal much, I suspect it's because they werent built in massive numbers the number of pattern parts isnt vast...

So after having my other Clio for a year now, and really enjoyed racing it, I thought it was time I got another and used it as my daily. So, after loads of searching, I found one. Plan is to drive it for a year, to really get used to the feel of the car, and gradually upgrade the car as I...
