A small update! Progress is slow but steady. I had to get the car into the garage before Christmas, the brakes were doing odd things such as binding as certain points. The garage found out the pads bad seperated from the backing causing the material to just catch at points! New pads and pins...

Hey everyone, so, I had the Miltek fitted today. Fitting was relatively easy and considering it was 2nd hand it fitted well. We had to butcher the tips a bit to get them to fit (200 exhaust on a 197 with tips) First impressions are good. Nice burble at idle, quiet around 2k and sounds a bit...

I ended up buying TRW anti rotation links from eBay after using the Renault part number. The seller tried arguing they were not right according to his system, he sent them after I showed him proof of the part number and what the part looked like. They were £32ish a side so not mega cheap. I also...

Same as mine, Id bet they are the first go to option, along with ARB links and Anti rotation links.

Cheers Gents, Ill try and fit them sometime in the next few weeks.

Ladies and Gents, Does anyone have lengths of ARB and Anti rotation links? I have bought the parts from eBay using Renault part numbers, I prefer to use genuine where I can but after Christmas money is tight! TRW Anti rotation links, part number 8200 686 016. Likewise, Meyle HD ARB links...

I went to the trouble of putting in Cup doorcards! This is a far simpler option.

Used to be a company called Speedina. They stopped a few months ago, I think they may have started again on eBay however.

That is all a very valid point. I honestly think unless its a track or weekend toy, regular sport dampers are far more forgiving on UK roads. Too hard and you dont have the control. Being too low ruins geometry, thats the same for all cars. I went to Eibach springs, replacing H&R for that reason...

Depends how bad, mine was quite bad but they opted to repair it. I have heard people have complete new bootlids. I guess that could be more down to colours and colour matching rather than how bad the rust might be? Worth a try anyway!

To be honest, entirely depends on the dealer. Mine didnt bother, just checked paint depth and sent it off..

The 197 material is different to the 200 material, its a similar colour but different construction.

I should add I have also never heard a bad word said about Steve's work.

The biggest thing is matching the fabric. As far as I am aware, from my research, Steve Murr is the only one who can match 197 fabric unless Im mistaken.

Looks good! Rusty boot may be eligible under Renaults 12 year warranty. If there some fancy setup with the vent or still stock airbox?

Its always frustrating when this kinda thing happens. I use mine for commuting mainly on short (6 mile) journeys and the suspension and hard ride get tedious at times. Then I take it up on the moors for a blast and remember why I love it. Everything you've done I'd do too. I was worried about...

Yep, its nuts. Theres no reason you couldnt use another droplink but you can never search by length and Id want it to be within millimetres to not have an effect on anything.

Thanks bud, they are probably basically the same! I have found TRW anti rotation links on eBay, approx £32 each.

Toyosports appear to be the same as Direnza. The Toyosports ones are hit and miss, some say they drop power due to flowing poorly. If you want to decat I would be tempted to fix the original manifold (they crack around the block mounts) and replace the flexi's whilst out. Cut the cat off and get...
