    Cheap eBay exhaust - I've taken the plunge..

    I can imagine how horrible cheap ebay exhaust is. I had full akrapovic evo system in my previous clio 200, and it was just too loud for me.

    Clio 197 Ultra Red 2007 from Finland. April, time to start driving.

    Btw. Renault dealer quoted 110€ x 8 hours labour only. That is 880euros (731£). Then you have to pay for parts too. Mad price..

    Clio 197 Ultra Red 2007 from Finland. April, time to start driving.

    It is difficult because we have now 3 similar red for sale. Both cars are cheaper than my car. I dont think condition is same, but people always look price. Renaults also have bad reputation in my country, people are avoiding Renault as brand.. They think that these cars will rot and are full of...

    Clio 197 Ultra Red 2007 from Finland. April, time to start driving.

    Clio has been in storage since 15.5 and road insurance disabled. I took -2000euros off from asking price again, still no calls. When June turns July, it has been 12 months for sale now. Finland politics are turning game for really tax heavy for owning high polluting cars. For example my 330ci...

    Brembo calipers rebuild and paint

    I bought new pair red brembos , i think price was something like 300 / 2 calibers. I sold my old calibers for 200. You can count then if there is any idea to do painting and stuff or pay someone to do it.

    Cleaning/Detailing Advice

    I agree, but you have to choose carefully. There is so much poor quality work which i see every day. Too cheap, alarm bells.. In my country proper 3-step polish price starts from approx 700£ including tax. Normal rate for professionals are something like 50£ / hour.

    Cleaning/Detailing Advice

    You will have really, really long day with das6 polisher and Renault sport paint. Lacquer is hard to work with. Also 197 / 200 body is not the easieast to start, so much different curves etc. I took my car for friend who is very good with rotary machine. He did my car, 4 full days, + ceramic...

    Long term fuel trim

    Bump for old thread. Do you know if vacuum leaks in Clio197 will cause lean condition? (high long term fuel trim1). After all, our cars are map controlled. This seems to be dark magic in renault community, if you ask BMW club about fuel trims there is so much knowledge and experience for typical...

    Fuel trims

    Positive LTFT means basically that there is too much fuel in standard settings. Ecu has to shorten injector pulse time. It is running too rich, and ecu is leaning air/fuel ratio. Try to look if there is any vacuum leak, or if you can measure fuel pressure.
