The thing is that these exhaust systems have 2 or 3 small silencers spread along the system, to get what you want I think a fair few people have removed the silencer in the centre

If you do get a strut brace you'll struggle to see it. Remember that the oreca exhaust only has one exit. That is one of the reasons why I chose it because to me 2 is pointless and I don't like the tips that most of the exhausts come with. Apparently the standard manifold is about as good any as...

The front strut tops are so close to the bulkhead a brace won't do much, akrapovic exhausts are a ridiculous price but are said to be about the best although I went for the oreca system, sports cat and a toyosport manifold. It's up to you with coilovers, they're not cheap, I've got h&r...

My first guess would be that its broke not that its a bad setup.

It's your car mate, I took all the silver bits off mine (bullets, wheels, door handles, interior trim, etc)

Why not go to halfords and look in their book? I replaced a headlight bulb last week, this is what I got from halfords for my car

By the river, in between the brayford and the high street.

I don't wish to be rude or offend anyone but me personally, I prefer the original wheels, or the speedline ones, that is why I had mine re painted black instead of buying new ones. Just my opinion.

The synchromesh on 3rd gear is probably getting tired, my car doesn't like rushing into 3rd, if you're changing into 3rd at speed either accelerating or decelerating it needs a second or two before it will go into third. Its common with these cars.

Well plenty of people have the toyosport which removes the pre cat and get through an mot, that's how mine was before I fitted the oreca exhaust. And it passed.

It depends if you still have the main cat or not.

Black 57 plate 197 looked like it had stopped for McDonald's. No club sticker on it though but maybe one of us fw57 I think it was, don't remember the rest of the plate.

So it will be due in a year or so. 5 years or 72000 miles whichever comes first. Just because it has low mileage don't risk it, belts deteriorate with age as well as with use.

What's it like for needing a cam belt, and with a car like these I'd make sure it has good fresh oil as these cars often get a hard life, and need to be revved for the power so good quality oil and check it regularly as mine does use a little. But if you enjoy driving and have some good roads...

I've got the oreca system in my car and at meetings and shows, ect. I often get asked what the exhaust system is. I picked tthe oreca system because it's not designed to look pretty, it's designed to do a job, I found having 2 exhaust exits annoying as it's not necessary and thought that the...

Yes they should fit, I've seen an r25 megane f1 with a 197 wheel on before at cadwell park. But the airbags only fit the correct steering wheel they are for, megane air bag will not fit clio wheel and vice versa

After speaking to the lads at rs tuning, who mapped my car they reckoned that the standard manifold with the pre cat deleted from it is the most superior manifold. I've got a sports cat in my car but I'd only bother with one if neither of the original cats are fitted, as it's a criminal offence...

Yeah, that would be my first culprit too.

Its a lotus (lots of trouble usually serious) but still thats what made lotus into the legendary constructor it became. I once read an interview with colin Chapman asking him why lotus doesn't make more durable f1 cars and his reply was if it's not knackered after the race then it's been...

I've got 20mm sparco spacers, unless you're the reincarnation of colin mcrae you wouldn't notice a difference to the handling. my car has h&r lowering springs and still no rubbing issue until the front wheel arch liner became detached When a grass verge tried to pull it off (not related to the...
