My temp gauge is sitting pretty low most of the time, goes up when stationary for a while but then when I get moving even driving it hard it goes back down to below the first line (like the first pic on page 3 of the 200). Ordered a new 197 stat and it will be fitted next week.

Yeah bit of a flat spot around 2.5k revs..will have to get it mapped at some point Thanks! Brakes, I'm going for Ferodo DS1.11, mainly for track use

Well look what we have here! Scorpion non res + decat pipe. Got it fitted now, sounds just brilliant. Love the crackles and pops, to be honest not really too loud when just cruising either. Will have some videos soon hopefully. Also got the service stuff done, next up is the brakes then a track...

Nah I didn't want to say exactly how much, just that it was below 3000, it wasn't all that far off though :p

Thanks! And I thought the same thing, asked George and he said 1L will do a full flush and change

Ordered some bits for the car ready for getting back on the track..George @ RTR has been helpful with advice and even sorted me the braided brake lines in red :tongueout: Parts ordered: Ferodo DS1.11 front pads Brembo HC front discs 1L Ate TYP200 SuperGold brake fluid 2 front caliper pin kits...

Thank you!

What pads do you run on the rears along with the DS1.11? I'm considering getting DS1.11 fronts and keeping rears OEM

Is there anyone using the DS1.11 pads? Looking at buying and need to know if they work fine from properly cold, that graph only starts from a higher temp

Just wondering where you got the Clio 200 dials from? Been searching and can't find them for sale

Thanks for all the kind replies! Parts for the service have arrived, car should be going in to have the work done soon.

Great read, if the time does come that I can consider a megane swap I will definitely be coming back to this thread, some great info here! Thanks for sharing it

Thanks for the reply! Yes I am from Lincolnshire, Snetterton and Bedford are both around 1 to 1.5 hours drive away, I think Cadwell Park isn't too far either but it seems a more advanced track and there's a bit too much armco to hit for my liking! Maybe when I'm a bit more experienced on track...

Hi all, Been using this site a lot recently and thought it would be nice to do a progress thread for my 197. Got the car back in May but couldn't actually drive it due to needing to wait until September when I had a year no claims bonus to be able to insure it (I am 18 years old). I made this...

I'm looking on the Scorpion website right now and there's an option for 197 and an option for 200, the 200 one being quite a bit cheaper but I suppose it wouldn't work with the 197 diffuser https://www.scorpion-exhausts.com/automotive

I have also been struggling on what to do with the exhaust, by the sounds of it just a resonated cat back Scorpion without decat or anything is a good option? I guess that saves any hassle with flat spots too or is it still a possibility to get them? Any advice would be good, I'm really not sure...

Seems like going down this route is my best option, it's reassuring that it should be 'only' around £660 to fix. I've been recommended a gearbox specialist in Peterborough so I will have to get in contact with them. Thanks for the info!

Hi just wondering if anyone can give some advice.. I've had my 07 197 (63k miles) for a few months now and it has started crunching from 2nd to 3rd while driving hard. I've been reading through this thread but there's so many different situations and I just don't know what route to take...

Thanks for your replies! Whereabouts do you guys buy the products from? I've only really ever looked for parts on ktec's site and am not sure if there are better sites or not

Hi, I'm also looking at gettings new pads for my 197 (daily driver with occasional track use), would you recommend upgrading to the Brembo high carbon discs to get the Ferodo DS2500 pads? Also are the high carbon discs only necessary for the fronts? Just wondering as I can only see front HC...
