    Coolant color

    Its the battery overflow/breather pipe. Should plug into the side of the battery and it probably ends somewhere where fluid can drain if needed.

    197 / 200 Spigot Rings & wheel fitment

    Yeah its the best. Always annoys me that my mate swears by WD40 (Not even made for the job) having never tried plus gas!

    Got them off now! What a great invention plus gas is.

    197 / 200 Spigot Rings & wheel fitment

    I had no idea! They're going to be a pain to remove as i've had a fair bit of leverage on them too! I'll keep trying

    197 / 200 Spigot Rings & wheel fitment

    Hi Guys, My car is a non cup 197. I sold the original 197 wheels and bought a set of OZ Ultraleggeras which fitted straight on without spigot rings. Now i'm selling my car and looking to sell the Ultras on and put some standard 197/200 wheels back on to sell the car. My mate has a 200 cup...

    Semi slick all year round

    Whilst you are correct in what you say, its also worth considering the additional contact patch a track tyre provides which may reduce the difference between them and a standard road tyre, the sidewalls of the tyres are also much more square, meaning the 225 track tyre will actually be a fair...

    What's my 197 worth?

    Thanks for the advice guys. The Car is now up For Sale officially. Has been serviced a few weeks ago and I've had it MOT'd today to ensure everything is sound ready for sale. Some mods can be removed and sold separately and price negotiated, but for now I'll test the water with all mods...

    What's my 197 worth?

    Yeah, thats including the de cat pipe though too, they're about £60-£70 i think. Yeah I agree, i'll leave the exhaust on unless I P/X it which I doubt. Yep, will do. To everyone else, i'll PM people if I decide to split all the parts.

    What's my 197 worth?

    Can't remember what I paid for the exhaust, I got mine direct from Scorpion but just looked and they're £535 on ebay. So hopefully i'd get a bit more than £250 if I took it off. But yeah I agree on the wheels I probably am best swapping those before selling. I'm not planning on buying a megane...

    What's my 197 worth?

    Yeah with the decent tyres on i'd look for £750-£800 for the wheels, hopefully get a bit more for the exhaust cause its only a year old and was just under £600 new IIRC. But yeh I think its worth sticking it up once i've sourced a Megane. Can't sell it before getting a replacement as I need a...

    What's my 197 worth?

    I agree a standard car will probably appeal to a wider market. £5k is what I was aiming for with the mods fitted. Brakes I would leave as they are, induction kit I can go back to standard easily, exhaust wise I do still have the original and the CAT however Callorfold makes a good point in...

    What's my 197 worth?

    Wasn't quite sure where to put this topic, Mods please move this if there is a better place for it. I'm thinking about selling my Clio and getting an R26 Megane to replace it. But whether I do or not will depend on what I can sell the Clio for. PX value i've had on it was a depressingly low...

    Semi slick all year round

    Is the AD08r a lot softer than the AD08? Because I bought a set wheels that came with AD08's with about 5.5mm tread and I got over 10k miles out of them with a trackday! I've now got the Nankangs on and they're very similar but the AD08's are definitely slightly better in every way. I'd say...

    Shock Absorber Options

    I've still not got round to ordering any replacement bits yet. Ive got the eibach springs so they'll be going on and i'll probably go for replacement OEM dampers as there doesn't seem to be any other options apart from coilovers, which I don't want.

    Is a Decat a defo MOT fail?

    It will depends on how strict the tester is really. As Foxspeed says, it is technically an instant fail if a cat that was there from the factory has been removed. However, a tester might not notice as they'll still see the first cat in place at a glace. They might also not be bothered as like...

    Shock Absorber Options

    Yeah i'm happy enough with the ride as it is, just wouldn't mind it slightly lower and can handle it being a tad firmer; so hopefully springs will do that. Before I order some new OEM shock absorbers though, are there any others I should consider?
