    Recaro pole position seats

    No, you'll need the recaro subframes. Pole positions are side mounted. There's a version of the pp that allows you to use standard belts (as well as harnesses).

    Buying my 200 Cup

    Personally wouldn't touch a cup. The interior is basic, and I believe you lose reach adjustment on the steering, which I wouldn't be without! The cup suspension offers better body control, and quicker reactions. But the ride is far worse. I went for standard sport suspension, and on road/track...

    First service and...

    Have you checked them yourself? Never, ever trust anything a Renault dealer tells you. I was told at a service that my 182 brakes were 50-60% worn. The day after I fitted new pads/discs.

    Time To Sort My 197 Out!

    I did use them, couldn't fault them. Extremely busy place, on the day I went in they had 50-60 wheels going through. End of the day, the internet is awkward for businesses like that. If 99% of people are happy, you'll be lucky to find any posts by them. But the 1% that aren't happy will kick up...

    Time To Sort My 197 Out!

    Jesus. For the wheels, city powdercoating in Birmingham. Had mine done for £120 (for all 4!). That includes tyre removal/refitting and balancing.

    Glad you've shifted it. Gordini's will always be a tough sell, very Marmite.

    HID kit for projectors?

    Honestly can't remember. But the bulbs fit straight in, there's no hassle with them. Ado is the man to ask.

    HID kit for projectors?

    http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/ Can't remember which bulbs the projectors require, but they are different to the standard 200 halogen units. The bulbs fit straight in, very easy job.

    Girlfriends new tt rs

    Great engine. No chance I'd sink £50k into one though, far better cars to drive for that much!

    Huge day for football today!

    Hoping for a Chelsea win. Will make the final 2 games interesting, as it's game over if Utd win. And making up a 15pt gap to win the league would be phenomenal.

    Petition about clio power figures...

    You need to read up about how mpg figures are achieved, it's easy to see why they fall short in reality. The problem isn't the manufacturers, it's the testing procedure.

    **** tyres. Get some Hankooks on, or Conti's if you're a label junkie.

    Petition about clio power figures...

    Rolling road figures are as much use as a chocolate teapot. They have 2 purposes 1-Before and after showing gains/losses from mods. The absolute figure means nothing, it's the change. 2-Nerdy gimps to boast about in the pub. Anyone that believes a standard 200 is making 200 (or close to it)...
