I have these fitted to my dc2 and i just dont understeer at all. These are the best tyre iv ever had the pleasure to drive with, and the wear rate isnt to bad at all. Even in the wet these are proberbly the best tyres ive used, i really have to be pushing very hard to get any understeer in...

Haha thankyou, I only had it 2 and half months. The crappy thing was in the garage 6/7 times already and I'd had enough Danny

Haha iv actually already had a vxr :chair: Yeh it's a 99

Well iv got my new car but its not a 197. i decided i missed my v-tec to much and went old school lol DONT HATE ME!!! haha Danny

I dont yet have a clio but as all the power is top end of the revs i would say it kicks in around 4.5/5k. Just change gear at 3k to save fuel, simples Danny

Yes i understand that, but your saying you could live without the gadgets, and are only considering the FF for the fact it has recaros, do you know what i mean? Danny

The thing is with rx8s is that they need alot of maintenance, ie the coil packs need changing every three years which not many know about, so if there not maintened well enough there performance suffer alot more than piston engines. Mine is quick very quick and thats comparing it too my...

An extra £420 a year just cause you want recaros?! Id have the FF anyway but if youd be happy with the cup and no gadgets then get the cup mate Danny

Mx5 along with rx8s are designed for the twisties. I can't speak for the mx5 as much but my rx8 is 50:50 weight distribution and handles incredibly. It has the same lap round the top gear track as an m2 e46 so I would imagine the mx5 to be very similar (handling wise that is) which is why it...

Yeh epic fail now lol Like said previously the front ones look okay but the rears are a big no go

i dont think it looks 'too' bad

No apart from pot holes and speed humps will be harsher, it may seem more chuckable shall we say and more grippy but it wont be any different to the FF speed wise on normal roads

Right iv been for a test drive in a 197 now and also my mate took me out in his 200. First impressions: looks very nice, love the keyless entry, interior not as good as the vxr i had but the standard FF seats were much grippier than the recaros i had. I was quite impressed with the amount of...

HANDLING!! You wont notice any difference on the road but get on a track and there wont be a massive difference, but a noticeable one Danny

How do these cornering lights work btw? And what do they do? Danny

I hope its not too high as i hate high driving positions, but iv had a few cars like that so you do get used to it i suppose. So you think you made the right desision? out of interest how much you get for the rex? was it a px or private sale Danny

Hey guys iv done a quick search but couldnt find anything. Basically i know that the 197s come with normal headlights or with xenons. However to be xenons you need the washer jets, but iv seen cars with projectors but no washer jets so are they xenons or just projectors with halagon bulbs...

Okay thanks, im not too fussed about mpg as im averaging 15 in the rx8 :s I know theres a few more 'ecomonical' hot hatches about but the clio really is taking my fancy Ill get some pics up as soon as i get one Danny

Thankyou that was very informative, are there any reliability issues that the 197 are renown for? I'm guessing not as iv not read about many and I hear Renault have really improved on quality control alot Danny

Hahahaha nice nickname Is the cup suspension available to buy separate for the FF? Danny
