    Urgent brembo help

    Just having mine done atm, pins seized, cut in half, outside part comes out rpetty easy, its the one on the other side which is a pain, one of the pistons needs the pin drilling out... not an easy job if you wait 10 years to change pads for the first time...

    200: Water leak (passenger door)

    I'd agree with Antti O, the seals are there to stop most of the water, the drains are there to get the water that found its way in out, and water will always find its way in, if its not in the volumes that get the whole carpet soaked wet than there's nothing to worry about, if you had a real...

    High mileage r27

    thats roughly 120k km correct? wouldnt have called it a high mileage car to be honest, I sold my previous clio at 160k km which would be around 100k miles and it was still running pretty good, even the clutch was still the factory unit with no signs of needing replacing soon, personally I would...

    How long Have You Owned Yours

    Had the first for over 6 years, done about 85k miles in it, surprisingly reliable, nothing went wrong with it during my time with it except for the balljoints and an exhaust manifold, gearbox was solid and never crunched, typical maintenance it was, ended up being put on a set of cup dampers...

    ATE Brake Pads

    Just getting prepared for the first ever change of brake pads on my 2007 R27 :) Looking forward to see the options non trackcar setups people recommend, I did use standard Brembo pads in my previous 197, but to be honest they were worse than the factory pads, nothing special in terms of...

    New ish mule shoots MK4 MEG

    This looks ready to be revealed in Geneva... mainly because the interior is already an RS interior, no other megane has black rooflining, pillars or sunvisors... the reveal may actually be on the cards this march...

    Gave my R27 a wash

    These are the Braid Fullrace A in 17x7 ET50 I use for the summer tires. Thinking of getting them powdercoated in some dark grey color, as the white seems to stand out a bit too much, good time to get this done now as the wheels are off anyway. There are no centre caps for these wheels iirc as...

    Gave my R27 a wash

    Thanks guys, always fancied a nimbus R27 back when I had my Deep Black 197, love the color as well, Antti, I guess in Finland you have colder winters than we do, but Poland does get a few cold weeks every winter, lucky I had the inside of the workshop to get it cleaned, it was below zero...

    Gave my R27 a wash

    thanks Big Ben, this years winter is colder than the few before, had a -29C during the night two weeks ago.... now its only a few degrees below, so no that bad at all @Jimmy, thanks, yep, the results are great, got away with polishing it as its in a pretty good condition still being only 30k...

    Gave my R27 a wash

    Thanks LOCKE, yep, thats the plan, but probably for the next winter, had a complete set just shortly after putting the winter wheels on, must ve been poorly inserted by the fitters as I'd lost them within a week from changing the wheels... anyway, spring comes pretty soon and I'll be back on my...

    Gave my R27 a wash

    Thought its about time to give the car a wash, as with the snow and salt on the streets it got really dirty, couldnt see the car underneath all thats been covering it. Couldnt use the pressure washer as it was in another garage, so out came the hose and three buckets of warm water, one of them...

    Going to see a 197 tomorrow. Tomorrow could be the day I become an owner

    Sounds like you should be shopping for a megane :) but yes, the cold start is a bit of an issue, personnally I do love the way it wakes up and gets up to temperature, tend to wait a minute or two before driving away so it gets a bit warm, still can feel it being cold for the first 2-3 miles...

    200: Fresh shoes on this weekend!

    Had the cs5 before, then switched to the ps4, must agree, a slightly better tyre, not by much as the contis are very good as well, but I definitely noticed a nicer and stiffer sidewall, gripwise though they are very close to each other, did not notice the ps4s being stickier, the grip provided...

    Considering clio 197 2007 ultra red, opinions?

    Looks nice! I'd take it :) Studded tires you say :) must be a blast in the snow with these on, used to rally a seicento sporting with a set of studded pirellis, awesome grip and lots of fun
