Looks like a nice example. There are a few track-oriented cars on here for inspiration, you can't go wrong with good coilovers and uprated engine/gearbox mounts to tighten things up. Then you're looking at engine mods, depending on how far you want to go.

Jesus that could have been a lot worse. I've just done my track rods on both sides, think I'll be digging out the torque wrench...

They look a lot like these: https://www.larkspeed.com/corbeau-pro-series-x-seat-carbon-shell-1102988/?aditem=1102988 And the corbeau seats are much cheaper.

I have a ktec sports cat here which will be up for sale shortly if you're interested.

Good to see you're still around Peter :thumb:

Welcome :french:

https://clio197.net/threads/earthing-points.56268/ Fault code DF092 relates to the upstream lambda sensor (the one before the cat). Try clearing the code and see if it reappears.

I put the febi Bilstein drop links and stabiliser links on mine, absolutely fine. Im sure the brakes will be fine, id certainly have no qualms about using them.

Check engine mounts first, then suspension bushes.

I found standard 200 cup suspension horrendous, in fact I changed to H&R springs and have found them much better and not half as bad as some have said. I've had Bilstein b14 coilovers on my last 197 and found them really nice on most roads, bit soft for track though.

Doesn't 'need' to be mapped if you can live with it, but mapping will help and you'll certainly gain performance, especially in the mid-range. Mapping is only as safe as the person doing the mapping. RS Tuning and EFI are the two most often used on here.

I've just done the outer track rod ends on mine for £13 per side using Febi Bilstein parts from ebay. Even the inner tie rods are £15-20 per side. Just search for part numbers and cross-reference the parts on ebay.
