Hi, I understand that the weight saving going from OEM to OZ UG is around 2 kilos per corner. Is it worth the money? I'm interested mostly in improving the ride quality, not necessarily better performance. Thanks mates.

Well that's strange. Sometimes when driving at very low speeds (1st gear, almost idle RPM) I hear this squeeking noise. It seems to happen only when the car is turning, no relation to gas pedal or brakes. What can this be? Cheers mates.

I'm gonna do a service in the coming week and I'm wondering which oil to get. I've been using ELF SXR 5W40 (or something like that) which should be fully synthetic. Is that good enough or should I get something better?

As said in the thread topic. The brakes are more mellow and less responsive than they used to be when new. 11K miles on the clock, been driven around hard. It's time for new pads or should I check something else?

Exactly one year after I got my 197 I test drove a 200. Gotta say I was rather surprised how much they differ. Good stuff: The 200 pulls way more than the 197, dunno if it's the transmission or the engine or both but it certainly packs more umph. Also, the dealer here had a the softer suspension...

I understand that Renault changed the gear ratios in the 200 and shortened 1st through 3rd. Is it possible/any good to change the gear ratios for a 197 to those of the 200?

As a part of the diet I'm planning for the Clio I'm looking for way to cut back on exhaust weight. I don't have access to RS tuner and there's no shop around that can remap it here so my best shot is just removing some of the heavier parts and replacing them with lighter ones. Any idea where I...

I think the standard wheels look neat but I'm looking for an alternative. Couldn't find anywhere the weight of the standard ones compared to lightweight alternatives (e.g. ultraleggera). How big of a difference are we talking about?

Basically - I want the clio to shine and gloss like a mirror and preferably break bystanders neck as it zooms by. I have plenty of time for detailing. What I lack is a proper kit, so I'm thinking of getting a proper detailing kit. It's a Nimbus 197. Budget is up to 500 pounds. One note...

Hey, I find the original pads pretty good. They have a very long life span as well. Is the DS2500 worth the extra money? Cheers.

I had 8000 miles with the 197 and even though the engine opened up good I get this feeling that it doesn't like to work hard and reluctant to rev high. I rarely get it above 6500 and I used to hit shift light every ride. The engine tone itself has noticeably changed as well and it is much more...
