    200 Vs 197

    I've had both. A stunning Nimbus R27 and a stunning cupped FF GW200 with speedlines recaros etc... I said it in January last year...the 200 has improvements in many areas. Collectively they make it a much better car. As for the looks of the 200. The majority of people that seem to not like...

    i want rid now!!!!

    The Clio can be a frustrating car espcially when it doesn't give you any value at the pumps and sits stubbornly below 25mpg. I used to do a lot of miles in my R27 and even though it was affordable it used to frustrate me looking at the hundreds I was burning each month and the miles racking...

    My thoughts on the 200 so far..........

    17.5k on my 200 with an ITG and it feels as quick as my old 172 Cup. It sounds immense aswell. I did 36k in my R27 and the result was exactly the same. 15k is when things really begin to loosen up.

    Considering a 197...

    Renault did an ECU remap on the later models at the end of 2007. This boosts the torque quite a bit in the lower revs. Make sure the one you test has this update on it. The myth of lack of flat low torque is pretty much eradicated with this update. Also if you're getting an EP3 Civic you'll...

    K an N Apollo??

    Well I cannot understand why anyone would buy a Clio RS and then pay to mod it and loose power. There's enough experience on this forum to support the fact that it's a worthless performance upgrade. The only way to get more power out of the F4R is to put a bigger airbox in, uprate the cams and...

    Gran Turismo 5 WTF?

    There are a lot of bits not quite there (I.e face tracking in career) but hopefully they'll keep updating. Once you get past the apprehension and discover its strengths I would say GT5 is a very special game :)

    Gran Turismo 5 WTF?

    The ring is available when you complete the SLS challenge. They never promised 10000 cars. It was 1000. Remember only 200 of those 1000 are premium next gen. The other 800 are imported from GT4. Kaz has stated standards will get upgraded to premium in future updates.

    Renault Dealer Recaro Seat Nightmare!

    It's finally been sorted. There was some faffing around and I had to contact the Director after taking some advice on here. I did actually lose it a bit yesterday as I was getting really wound up. I've been calm for five months with this but sometimes you've got to kick off. For the fella...

    Renault Dealer Recaro Seat Nightmare!

    Yeah I'm gonna really kick off tomorrow you know. I want this sorted. I'm going to publish the name of the dealer on all of the Clio forums. Since 2007 I've bought from this dealer a 197 R27, a fully loaded Clio DCI Dynamique Sport 106 and a 200.

    Renault Dealer Recaro Seat Nightmare!

    Thanks for the reply. RUK are saying this type of problem is not warranty covered. It's like a plastic squeaking noise and is getting worse! Honestly it takes all fun out of driving the car.

    Renault Dealer Recaro Seat Nightmare!

    I'm sure everyone on here appreciates the problems with these seats. I wanted to post to get peoples opinions so here goes... My 200 has done 16.5k and for the past 5 months the driver side Recaro has been making the worse high pitched sweaking sound. It's driving me mad, as soon as I move an...

    Hankook V12 Evo

    I would honestly say the Hankooks are better in the wet (possibly due to tread pattern). In the dry though the Conti's win by a small margin. I think there was an Autocar test recently that put them top. Most of the tests I've seen rank the V12's mid table. Overall though you'd be a fool not...

    Hankook V12 Evo

    I've had Conti 3's on my 197 and Conti 3's and Hankook V12's on my 200. For the money you're better off with the Hankook's but they don't grip as much as the Conti's. The traction is slightly more predictable and not as skittish on the Conti's. I'm finding the Hankooks more durable though and...
