Hey all, I joined up a few years back to look into the 197s and only just got round to getting another RenaultSport. I had a 182 Trophy a few years ago and although awesome, the Yozzasport exhaust that I had drove me mad and instead of swap it back I ended up changing cars.
I know the 197s getting on a bit now but I do think there great looking cars, after driving and looking at a number of 200s I found what I think is a cracking 197 cup and it's all set for collection next sat. Should make a great fun car, as the hope Is I won't need it for too many work miles.
Once it's picked up I'll be getting the belts done ASAP at Birchdowns, disks and pads are being done before I pick it up and then it'll need either lowering springs or suspension change to get it a little lower. (Eibach's or straight into bilstein's?)
Will get the scuttle removed and check those drainage holes out, any other immediate check points?
It had a new gearbox in 2013 from Renault which I think is a good point... Look forward to finding lots of tips and getting some photos up once it's nice and shiny, cheers. Mike.
