I came from a 500 plus hp evo 9 to an r27. Gotta be honest I don't really miss the evo all that much :) sure the build quality is dog but it's so much fun to drive and quick enough!

How much of that feeling is down to the mods compared to just a map to smooth out the power delivery and rid any flat spots though?

In most circumstances you ain't gonna notice an increase of 5-10 hp unless you started with 5-10 :P

The belt is continental. The rest is genuine.

Does it matter if the parts are original renault? It has full service history up to the point I bought it last week and has done 35,000 miles. Thanks

Hi gents, Picked up my 197 last week - loving it so far. Just trying to buy the bits I need for the 5 year service and was wondering what exactly I need? So far I know of; Cambelt Kit Waterpump Anything else? Oil/Plugs/Filters etc are non important I can do these myself. Thanks in advance.
