    This is exactly what I'm thinking.. I've no intention to keep it whatsoever for a long amount of time, but I'll be able to run it maybe for a year then use as a good deposit possibly on a Meg or something similar.

    Been offered an R32 for my 197 + £..

    I won't be using it half as much as I have used my Clio in the time I've had it though, literally just 5 miles a day to work, the odd run to blow the cobwebs out.

    Been offered an R32 for my 197 + £..

    Am I being a complete numpty if I don't? A part of my just thinks I won't enjoy it as much as the Clio.. another part of me thinks it'll be a more "grown up" and easier car to live with..?

    fresh layer of paint for front brake callipers!

    Somewhat reviving an old thread.. How many coats roughly did it take to get the finish you have? Also drying time etc, how long did you leave between coats? Cheers :D

    ContiSportContact 5 vs Pilot Sport 3

    My only critism of the Continental is the wear rate, fantastic grip wet or dry though.

    Giving it to either a Lotus or RB... then again, it's sh*ty England and it'll most likely rain = anyones!

    Recaros

    You'd be better off imo buying a new seat or going to a breakers as the value of the standard 197/200 seats isn't a lot to be honest. Renspares sell em when they have them for roughly £1100-1200

    Steering Rack

    This wasn't Renault, I took it to a local garage who are quite reputable down this way. The guy who runs it was an ex Euro Rallycross champion and knows his stuff.

    One does wonder! Seems like I'm spending more time spending money on my car at the moment than I do driving it!

    Steering Rack
