    200: Falsely told my vehicle had full service history

    I in return disagree with your post. Maybe you work in the one rare exception and there is hope for us yet but everytime I've ever dealt with RUK it's been a miserable experience.

    200: Falsely told my vehicle had full service history

    I bought my ex demo megane with the promise from RUK it had never been on track. 6 months later I found pictures of it in PFC lapping the ring. Kicked up an absolute stink about it and wanted either money back or an extra years warranty for 'false advertising'. RUK didn't budge an inch and were...

    ** Give your honest feedback about Clio197/200.net **

    I wouldn't say it's over moderated in such a sense but the general attitude of the club is much more behaved and grown up versus other forums I.e cliosport. So when someone who's a bit loud or pushy with their opinions starts posting and offending I think there's very little tolerance for it...

    200: Falsely told my vehicle had full service history

    Should have been your responsibility to check the service manual when purchasing. If the stamps are there from Renault or another specialist the work should be okay but if it's a back street garage any old crap could be in there.

    K&N vs KTR Induction Kit

    Mmmm that madeno racing one is a rather sexy induction kit though, shame about the race team price bracket.

    Warning braided lines

    This happened to my old 197 too, scary to think those who don't recheck could lose brake pressure possibly even on track!

    At taxpayers expense lol

    Did I get caught?

    Logically yes but a work colleague just got 3 points for speeding and his insurance went down £30!?

    Luke_197 Progress thread

    No I appreciate the reply. The mrs has a 225 and I regularly borrow that for work ;) Personally I absolutely love the 225 to some extent even more than my 265. The 172 is like a little chuckable go kart and the 265 is a steam train on the straights but just too bulky to throw about a country...

    Luke_197 Progress thread

    What didn't you like about the 230 out of interest buddy? I'd like to think I'll end up back in a 197 again one day but I'm only allowed two cars and I can't bear to give up the 172 :(

    My Thorney Astra VXR-R

    These things go like stink in a straight line but I hear so many stories of them being a nightmare in the corners? Followed one round brands once and it looked like he was having a real fight with under steer?

    Fitting harness to reclining Recaros

    I always thought they wouldn't put harness holes in place unless the seats could take the strain of them during a crash. Surely there would be legal implications as they have the fitment for harnesses but don't specify anywhere they aren't suitable?

    Before anyone else puts

    Undoubtably quicker with it off IF you have the talent to control the car yourself during slides etc. However I put my cars worth before my pride because I know I'm not good enough to save it when things go wrong. On the ring IMO it'd just be silly to turn it off.

    Before anyone else puts

    Saved me many a time when I lost it on track days in my 197, I found it to be priceless. Should be called the driving god switch lol

    What's people's thoughts on these splitters

    Not a fan myself, might look better if it wasn't colour coded at all.
