Thanks for the comment jimmyd81, glad you enjoyed it! Great to hear Chris91, thanks very much for commenting! They are the 19mm spacers all round from KTec, and to be honest they've been on the car since I bought it so I've no experience of driving it without them! Personally I think the...

Brilliant reply Yiannis197 thank you very much for taking the time to write it. The wing on the MX5 is... questionable. But that car is more about "because I can" than "because I am an aerodynamic genius", and at least it is used properly in any case! And yes I do think the 197 is an awesome...

Thanks a lot Pav, appreciate the comment. The Eibach setup is a bit stiff to be honest, a little uncomfortable for road use but it was definitely an improvement on the track. Swings and roundabouts I guess!

So guess what… a floppy-haired political buffoon is still yet to pilot an F1 car to victory, and equally as predictable is the fact I failed to deliver an update within the same week… nor even the same month... but God loves an optimist, right? Where were we anyway? As it turns out not far...

Yeah the R's are absolutely superb, I may never buy another brand of tyre again! Glad you enjoyed reading mate :) Yeah we all agreed the Clio sounded the best too! Gotta love that racecar rasp! No real tricks for the pipes to be honest mate, just a lot of fiddling. I got them very, very close...

I must seriously apologise for my absence on this thread, I’m sure you have all been yearning for updates… no? Well you’re going to get them anyway. I’m not sure anything of any major note happened between my Brands track day and the next one at Rockingham a month later, so we will kick...

Surely not for both rods and rod ends? They're about £60 a piece list?

Anyone used these? Listed specifically for a 197 but struggling to find any info on track rods other than they are only available genuine! A pair of track rods and ends are nearly £200 from Renault, these are a quarter of the price... too good to be true...

Thanks a lot Jimmy, great comment!

That would be great, thanks!

Quick and easy one this, who is running Cooksports on a cupped 197? Heard really good things about the springs in comparison to the alternatives but struggling to find anybody who runs them with cup dampers so I can A) see how they sit and B) get some feedback on the ride quality. For the...

Thanks a lot for the comments! That was exactly my choice too!

A reasonably brief update today, starting with a photo of a photo. I’ve been meaning to transfer some of my recent shots to print form for a while now. It’s all well and good taking lovely photographs on an expensive DSLR, playing with them on an expensive piece of editing software, and then...

Been searching for a fix for my squeaky pedal for a while now and just discovered this thread. I've gone nuts with the lube several times with little success, and then had the dealer techs look at it today during a service and was only met with blank faces. Guess what... I am running...

I know, it's a monster! It does surprise me how big a car it actually is, especially compared to its predecessors. I guess it's mainly due to the Twingo now filling the small hatch slot in Renault's line up, leaving the Clio kind of lost in no man's land between that and the Megane. There are so...
