sounds interesting. I know there will always be improvements but I can't understand why they couldn't have sent the car out like this in the first place? Call me cynical but maybe wanted to get the run on the ST. I would be absolutely gutted if I was locked into a 5 year finance deal only for...

Ive not seen it mate? Is it one of those Renaultsport either stick some decals on it; paint it a different colour or call after a race circuit but in principle, it's 90% the same car but charge an extra 3k cause it's 'limited'?

Any indication of spec?

forums eh....no bait. Each to their own I guess and I appreciate NA but IMO the 197/200 isn't one irrespective of how much you try to get more out of it. This isn't a NA v FI for me, its 197/200 NA I'm not a fan of. Like I said, it's the chassis that makes this car and not the engine and...

Quality? take that engine and gearbox and put it in any other car, and you'll see that in my opinion it's the worst engine and gearbox I've not had the pleasure of driving in 30 years. You can see where Renault spent their money and it wasn't on that. It offers you the power where you least need...

I'd agree but like willies, most would rather have a big one than a small one. I've never met a person who's been in a Meg Clio say they prefer it NA. The conversion comes with its issues but if Renault had both available from new, they would never have sold an NA Clio or 225 Meg for that...

I hope I'm in a proper car by then either a fast Audi or M car.....

I guess. Each to their own mate. If a cat d one comes up, I'll be looking to put a 250 engine in one with a manual gearbox. Well that's the plan anyway.....

Nah not fragile mate. If you think the number of years between the first 197 and the 200T, you'd expect improvements. I think the 200t is a good car but the 197/200 were game changers and the 200t are also but for the wrong reasons. The 200t for me was a huge disappointed. Even with a keen eye...

Interesting debate but it's like comparing apple and pears. The only true indicator will be the test of time. I get the feeling this was a quick vote winner for Renault. I'm guessing those changing also reflect people's change of circumstance. It's also reflects the economic climate where...

Love it. Miss my supercharged 330.....

Once that bloody bumper comes off, it never goes back on properly. Not sure why it's the passenger side though. It's funny cause at FCS, most of the 197's had the same problem. The other common problem on the 197 is rust under the rear window wiper.

Interesting story. A garage I used for years (before SC) said they could fit them. Said timing tool was fine. This garage does work on all kinds of high performance stuff. To cut a long story short, I had to pay RST to put right this garages mess and fit them properly. Whoever fits them needs to...

Fair enough. I remember about 10 years ago buying an E46 330 for 15k cause I couldnt afford an M3. Joined e46 fanatics forum and got this idea about supercharging the 330. I was warned by members don't bother, save my money and buy an M3. 20k later my 330 made less power than a standard M3!!! I...

I made 210bhp standard engine with Schricks at RST. If I mapped it with the supersprint, might have seen 213bhp. 215bhp is good but that's a lot of work and a crazy amount of money for not a lot of gains. In fact Schricks alone in your 200 I recon would have seen 215bhp. Regarding the ecu's, my...

And it's always the passenger side. Think it's more than clips being broken.....
