    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    Mine has done 33,000 on a 57 plate. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice a grinding into $th gear, took it to Renault and its the 4th gear synchro gone, took it to some other garages and all the same answer, Renault will put 50% towards it as a known fault but original prices are £1450 to...

    Anyway to make the clutch pedal heavier?

    I havent owned many cars but i do find mine to be quite heavy, as people had said its in traffic where i notice it, i often jump in my mates astra VXR and i always forget it and put the clutch down and nearly snap it off its so light lol

    What exhaust?

    youtube doesnt do some exhausts justice, ive got a custom made cat-back on mine and i love it but i havent heard it against any other 197's to see how it compares since ive had it fitted

    Black ops, very disappointed.

    I've clocked up nearly 6 days playing time and I rarely have any trouble on my xbox, however if I play wager match's litterally half the time i find a crap server! MW2 is soo hacked now though i couldnt go back to it!

    That 197 engine is a tuff nut to crack.....

    What is more frustrating than not having more power is not being able to put down the power i already have really, I wouldnt bother going for more power because I hardly get the chance to ever build any speed up, if you paid for a re-map and got more out of it you'd only roll up next to...

    Amusing Clio Video.....

    If i saw a 197 in the same advert as a french man dressing as an unconvincing woman i'd probably have to sell it. If 'she' started playing with her bits then i may have to just drive it off a cliff!

    Rear Diamond

    this might sound like a silly question although having not attempted this, ive never seen a de-badged one with the renault diamond taken off aswell? maybe ive missed them in the past or does doing this just leave a big flat patch on the boot that looks odd?

    Sexiest looking car in the world EVER

    I suppose Ford wanna make the ST a family hot hatch with its 5 doors and if you want a 3 door they expect you to go after an RS, if that is true about the new VXR having 286bhp then thats what they've got to be aiming for cos for perfromance that must be the measuring stick in fwd hot hatches...
