Stands to reason then, the MK3 sports aren't as quick as the MK2s.
More weight, same(ish) BHP...
Lovely looking car though Chris.

Ha! Cheers mate.
It's not black and white like that. Mine was identical up to silly speeds to Jon's 180bhp Ph1... gearing and a solid torque curve count for a lot.
The F4R in the 200 normally runs mid-to-high 180's on a decent RR, so I'm spot on. It was making power right up to the limiter too, so a raised limited and subtle remap will really benefit it. It gets rid of most of the laggy throttle low-down too. That's really annoying.
Another fella with an LY 200 on the day ran 176. :dapprove:

Finally some better pics lol, looks spot on though mate, yours look to stick out a tad more than my FK 25mm's but not sure if thats down to the height difference playing tricks with my eyes. Never the less great mod.
i had a play against my mates quick ph1 the other night & we were side by side i was inpressed with the 197.

My ph1 utterly dicked over a 197 and a 200 on the same day on the way to last year. We had several tests, one was Mr RSport and I, both in 3rd, both at the same speed, 1,2,3 go. Steve was not happy.
I don't even own the car so it's not like I'm bigging it up or defending mk2's, but the mk3 isn't about being faster in a straight line than the mk2. It can, however, carry FAR more speed in the corners.

Quality pics as usual, good to see someone getting some proper spacers too.
With regards to power won't it get more as the engine loosens up? I remember the 197's with <10k miles on ran low power but seemed to creep up with mileage.

As said, happy to borrow it for a bit to put some miles on for you x
Tbf to Renault they tell you it's 200ps. It's just clever marketing. It's funny that people claim the new Fiesta ST with 180bhp needs more power.
Power is a side thing for me. Drive-ability is more important. Like Chris said a remap to suit would help low gearing.

Not a chance!
Pwnt. Your face was awesome when it rolled 0.1 more than yours on the last run.
Power-to-weight though, like you said.
It tramlines a little more under hard braking (over 1.5G. Because RS Monitor) but other than that it's identical. Maybe a tad less adjustable on the throttle.
Ha! Good man!

Ultra Red
In that order, IMO. Seeing as the first and second options were discontinued when I ordered, I went with UR.

Will get around to doing a write-up sometime this week. Was epic, can see why the 200 is highly regarded now! Much better car than the 172 cup I had.

Nice one.
Ordered everything from Larkspeed mate.
Springs were £180 ish and the spacers were around the same. Plus delivery.

No worries.
Going to add a black vinyl to the front next, like the Akrapovic edition has. I've bought some vinyl cheaply from eBay.
I need to get around to fitting my HID kit too!

Let me know when you're doing the vinyl bumper 'mod'. I'll assist if I can.

Ooooooh! Actually... what the largest size you guys can print?
Would you be able to make one up for me?

If it's a long strip which i'm guessing it is, then we should be able to do it. Just need the size to create the cutting shape, unless you wan't to knock the shape up in Illustrator?
