My sexy new 197 Cup



Don

  182 & LY Clio 220 ed
Remembered you said you were picking up today...can't wait to see it at Star City! :approve:
 
saw a gun metal one of these the other day in the dealership, all i can say is they are a million times better in real like. It looked stunning in the show room with brembos and cup spoiler!
 
sexy time! I like alot!

lol at all the 197 haters with their 'growing on me'.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it Lee.
 
Ooh, thats why the text is so small in the OP. You posted up on renaultsport.co.uk forums first then on here (cheeky copy and paste job..). tut tut. Being ex chief mod I would have thought we'd get the first looksey ;)

Good choice on the wheels, they look better and means you get matching center caps! Enjoy - but that goes without saying as I know you will.

A couple of times. Mainly to overtake. Most the journey I was stuck in traffic. I can't believe I got stuck behind a farmer who had just been to collect his brand now 08 plate tractor!!!

I've not had it on the motorway yet to find out. I've had it up there but only as a short blast. To be honest it's never going to be great on the motorway, the exhaust not will see to that. I guess when I've ragged them on track in the past that's not so obvious from inside a helmet. It reminds me of the Magnex I had on my 172! I'm impressed they've given it some noise, as the 172/182s were very quiet.

Good lad, run it in the Italian way or you might end up with a slow one hehe ;)

Nice one Lee, cant wait to have a ganders over it !!

This should have the revised gear box then i guess, with the longer 6th gear. On the motorway in mine in 6th at about 80 is about 200 - 300 rpm under 5000rpm. Would be interesting to see how much theyve dropped this by.

5th and 6th gears are meant to be longer I beleive. The change is quite minimal though heh.

And "80 is about 200 - 300 rpm under 5000rpm" - Jesus christ, people weren't kidding when they said they were high revving then....

Nice one Lee!

They're not at all bad on the motorway with the revised gear ratios...

Just needs 3000miles under its belt and it'll fly:)
