They’re slightly different. 197 is 830 engine code, 200 is 832. The 200 has tweaked cam geometry, but essentially there’s no real change. The difference in gearbox between the 197 and 200 is more noticeable.

Apologies, I thought it was a Meglio. Ignore me. I'd still check connections.

Feels connection related to me. Is it a phase 1 or 2 loom which you've used for the conversion?

Remove what you can, and have an extinguisher handy is my suggestion. Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

I think I miss my Clio. Nothing better than razzing a slow car fast around the ring.

It’s basically complete now. People usually seem to sell them once they’ve reached this point :tearsofjoy: White on silver works good I think

It’s been ages since I tested one, but I’m pretty certain of the 2 I’ve done, both were ‘low’ like yours. Both made good power on the dyno and ran fine and used next to no oil with hard use on track. Throttle open (using the pedal) is definitely required, and you will see a bit of a change...

That's disappointing

^ this is how I do it. It’s probably your foot positioning which is making it so difficult.

Looks like a 197 piston to me

Sad times really. Makes ya wonder why they even bother ‘owning’ the site. I can’t see that sub fees would amount to much. There’s barely any of us left.

Looks like a standard 197 piston to me. What is it you’re trying to accomplish? Is it an uknown replacement engine?

I can’t tell you that. The piston could belong to any of the engine codes in the above table. The engine code on the block would give you more of an idea

It’s a standard piston, of size B
