Its been about 2 and a half weeks since getting my new car. Came about when my friends started planning this years Nurburgring trip and when I started adding up what I wanted for my Car I thought why not just add the 3 from Renault and save the hassle!
I've always had a thing for French hatchbacks:
First car I got when I was 18 was a VTR
Few weeks into having it:
How it ended up:
Now my First Renault Sport was a Black 197
Loved that car and although it was enough for me I had "slimmed" down considerably that recaros were now an option for me.
So I started to have a look about and came to the conclusion the Cup was more suited to what I wanted and getting a Cup meant I could go for a 4+ scheme car with less miles.
Few Pictures from my birthday wash using all my new goodies:
Have to say I like the 200's extra touches:
Favorite shot showing my hard work:
So the main reason for buying this particular car was this:
Bought on 1800 miles:
Go Hardcore or Go Home:
The advantage of having one before means I instantly had a few touches to add:
Now I had a spare sticker from last years trip and since the car was bought for this years trip in mind I decided the bad luck associated to sticking it on before hand was crap and stuck it on anyway minus the writing:
Before the Ring I Should be upgrading the Brake & Box Fluid with some Yellowstuff pads & If I have time making a lower seat frame and adding a harness and possibly some sticky rubber for my 197 cup wheels. Considering after two years of 197 ownership the only thing I wanted were seats and better suspension which I've ticked off dont expect many upgrades!
