    Jimbobs RB 197 Track focused!

    Thanks! and to be honest I feel it may be a little overkill for track days, but then I guess you could say a lot of the above is! The front section can be added in later, available from Mark Fish also, think it was approx £300 to add :)

    Yes both pins in the socket, then just tape them in. You may need to check but I think the seat airbag resistance is higher, the pretensioner is the same i think .

    Used 2 resistors, one in each socket .can't for the life of me remember the ohm but it's not a lot. Google will tell you! When I remove the seats/airbags I will be turning them off using clip hopefully

    Jimbobs RB 197 Track focused!

    Finally got my steering wheel on! Fits well, although the painted logo was poor and basically disintergrated. Overlayed a carbon cutout over the top which I'm happy with. Had to make a plastic spacer to fit behind the boss to depress the centre of the squib ring to stop 95% of the clicking...

    Clio 197

    Cheers!! Yeah black with red leather! Sat on h&r springs. I assume these are just as suitable for the 197? Quite a big sport spec from standard. Nearly FBO mod wise: Twin air filter Twin dump valve Ally charge pipe FMIC JB4 ecu Lots more non performance too!
