    Jcs' RB 200 Cup

    Following on from my recent return to the forum, I've been on the lookout for a 200. I've seen a few sheds, over priced dreamers then found a red 200. A deal was made with the garage only to find that the HPI check brought outstanding finance. So I left it. I'd been looking at this RB 200 cup...

    Return of an old member

    I did see a few meglios. Would love one, but this will be daily so sticking to a 200. Good to hear that gearbox syncros, balljoints and brake pins are all still causing issues

    Return of an old member

    Hi All About five years ago I said goodbye to this beaut as I bought my first house. Currently driving a Seat Leon FR550 that's on it's last legs, rust patches, lots of smoke etc. The Clio itch is now back and I'm on the lookout for a 200 so I'm looking forward to seeing what's changed in...

    New 197 Cup owner from Herts..

    Been keeping an eye on the forum to see if it did crop up again. Picked it up like this Then made it look a bit like this It made me chuckle how he put it on his site for £100 more than I paid for it 3 years ago. It did drop a grand though, hoping you managed to haggle him a bit more...

    The red one is Liam Johnson. Think he's from Saltash. Has rotas, cup spoiler, on coilovers etc. Don't think he's on here though. Not sure about the others.

    I'm a Clio chav!?!

    Totally agree on this. Stereotyping means that somebody will always consider a performace, modified, sporty or some sort of car to be 'chav'.

    Best place for a new gearbox?

    Apparently they've only got one left in stock. If you've got that a quote you should see if you can buy it! I'll give you £450 if you do ;)

    Best place for a new gearbox?

    Due to the severity of the crunch that's suddenly appeared I felt that it's a bit more than just an oil change needed. I've got two bottles of Fuchs TITAN SINTOFLUID SAE 75W-80 at home so will do this at the weekend before making any rash decisions. It's more the principle than anything and how...

    Best place for a new gearbox?

    Just been chatting to RSC Europe who quoted me £780 for a new shop soiled box. I said about how they used to be £354 but apparently they're now rare boxes. Tried some guy on eBay for a reconned box for £365 plus £50 posted, he phoned me to say that postage was actually double that and it wasn't...
