Cheers guys! They do handle awesome i'll give them that, only gripe is the lack of torque. What i do like is i've seen about 2 197's and 1 200 since i got the car compared to loads of vxr's. Everytime i go the trafford centre you can spot a couple. Yeah the vxr is simple to get big figures...

Not miss the turbo?? lol

What group tests dude? Hot hatch?

First pics of the new motor, owned it nearly a month now. Owned the VXR for almost 2 years so threw a few pics in for good measure. Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment. First impressions...loving the cheaper insurance, cheaper tyres, larger fuel tank, ride, the handling and road holding...

I don't like the sound of that, cut/grind? lol. Sounds as if it could be expensive anyone willing to say what they paid for fitting both full and cat back? And what about if you want to re-fit the standard exhaust, have to have it welded?? I'd come if i was home but i'm working this weekend...

Cool best bet's to get out and have a listen int it. The cat and the back box are milltek? Straight swap?

I'm in the same boat dude, got rid of my vixer last month and i'm missing the remus' brutality! ha. The 197 seems so tame in comparison. Looking to get an ITG banged on, swap the exhaust and remap just not a scooby with Clios as to tuners etc this buy was totally on a whim. Are they all...

The clio would be a beast turbo'd.. had the car a month now and soooo miss my turbo for the low down torque!

Know the name of the pioneer ones?

Another point..michellin + bridgestone etc. Really worth the extra ££?

That was on contis can't remember exactly which but 225/35/18 used to hate em. The fella in the garage I go always says buy hankooks which are mid range n all but he swears by them :/

FK452..my bad lol heads mashed with tyre huntin

Hey guys done a search but can't find much relevant unless I'm being blind. Need 2 new tyres soon, do people tend to keep the contis or go for a mid range alternative? I went through several sets of falken FK452 on my last car as contis and pirelli used to aquaplane a lot and were gash in...

Should look good :)

On my last motor it was £225 for a carbon diff and that looked the mutts nuts..although it was smaller just wondering how these are £500 more! No one know who manufactures them??
