20 per wheel on the back. I have another set of 20mm spacers but theyre too much for the fronts. have some 5mm on order with some camber bolts hopefully arriving next week.

My gearbox is fucked. There are certain parts of the car which i dislike. Like most of it.

ahh right, i love mine so far only done 4500 miles in it in the 2 months ive owned it but its going good! only 2 things i slightly dislike about it is its crap on fuel compaired to a mk2 dci and it could be doing with 220-230lbft (40-50 more!) both things a remap would sort but ill wait till its done a few more miles first

Do you have problems with 3rd gear snchro, or do you have the updated gearbox?

SnapMonkey · Feb 3, 2011

I prefer my 200 when its dirty. Having said that it will be cleaned this weekend, if only to remove the huge amount of tar collecting on the rear 3/4 panels.

As far as im aware its not the update box but I have never had any problems tbh

When I first got it I had the problem of Kangarooing when cold but since it has had 7 months on only Shell V-power that has stopped

Engine changes at 5000 miles as in it will open up a little more. got very flat power delivery after about 5000rpm. It will shift but its nothing to shout about. Good for country blasts. get it on coilovers ! Got no bloody torque what so ever. Youll notice just how bad it is when a 1.2 petrol will pull away from you until you get the engine spinning above about 4000rpm.

I didnt get box problems till about 13,000 miles I dont think, I assume you have the same 6 speed box as me with longer gearing.

Martin_172 · Feb 4, 2011

yeah same box with longer ratios, 3,000rpm in 6th is 105mph lol i like it, however i also like my JC5 in my 172 which most people hate, never had a problem with renault gearboxes bar a diff exploding at 3.5mph in my dci 65 lol
