    top speed of 197

    Your additional top end power will greatly improve the top speed,just be careful going for long ratios as it could hurt acceleration and driveability,after all how often are you going to do top speed runs??I think 200 ratios would be spot on for your setup even if you do the turbo route. Very...

    Clio RS 200 xenon conversion.

    Projectors/xenon weren't even on the option list when we ordered our 200 cup :thumb1: 197 lamps are totally different to 200 lamps. We are going to go for HID in the stock lamps as not keen on the black bezel

    top speed of 197

    A 200 with cup spoiler struggles after 125(GPS speedo reading 135+) I saw 141(GPS) on the autobahn but that was very downhill and WOT with max commitment no way that could be achieved on a flat the clio just does not have the power or aero to do it

    3rd service

    No-one gone for the service pack?£15p/m 1 service per year and first MOT done think its about £12 p/m for cars over 3 years old considering the cost of a single service doesn't seem bad really only prob is your tied in for 3 years but if you know your definitely keeping that long seems worthwhile

    Braided Brake Lines

    I don't think braided lines are really necessary on a new car. although they do expand a little its not significant enough to need changing,if you want track worthiness then the only short fall I find on the stock car is,tyres pads and brake fluid and your better off putting the money towards...

    Interesting Induction Kit RR Data

    The benefit of the samco will be in as much as that it won't expand like a rubber hose giving consistent inlet flow and better intake velocity,nothing to do with collapsing.

    Running in period?

    The engine has been bedded in at the factory,no need for any other running in.those guidelines are more to do with allowing the brakes and clutch to bed in.press cars and demo cars are hammered from the word go.any defect in the engine will show up in the first few hundred miles so softly softly...

    Tracking

    Hmm,I've suspicious that the tracking wasn't quite right since we got our 200 cup but put it down to the tyres tramlining. also doesn't feel very stable when braking in anything other than a straight line even then it does pull and tug under hard braking!have renault been rectifying this FOC?if...

    Which Lowering Springs?

    very intresting,thanks for posting!seems like they come inbetween stock RS and Cup suspension,using shortened bumpstops is standard practice for me when fitting lowering springs to allow full damper travel. curious why the factory uses a combination of linear and progressive springs.wonder if...
