That sounds like a pallet truck gets pulled over cobblestones and more like something is loose in there. Maybe a cat?

From what I get he doesn't want to know if it's a Cup but if it has the Cup suspension. /edit: Having re-read the OP. I'm not aware that LHD 197 Cups or "normal" ones with a Cup chassis/suspension even exist in Europe. This seems to be an RHD option solely. The only exception here is the F1...

A visual indicator for a Cup suspension are red brake calipers. If it has them then it presumably has a Cup chassis. If they're silver it presumably doesn't. The calipers can of course be swapped out or repainted. An other way is to look at the colour coding of the springs. They've differently...

But they can suffer from twisted crankshaft bearings which result in exactly that. Besides that here's a video of one blowing-up on the NOS. Comment of the owner: "I believe the oil pump couldn't supply enough oil at Eiskurve and maybe there was a short loss of oil pressure because of that...

I'm looking at the prices since quite some time now and they're going through the roof. Here's what's currently listed on one of the biggest German sales platforms. C3RS @mobile.de Highest prices seem to get paid in France at the moment. Here's an other insane add that was up some time ago...

It's in the add...13.025 km. It was listed as "without accident" at first but that got rolled back. From what we know it had a bigger accident and was repaired at a Renault garage for a couple thousand Euros.

Not a press car. Low mileage but still insane. It was even advertisd for 49.900,- € before.

Seems like. If you enlarge the photo you can see the Renault Sport writing.

The R26 and R27 are the designations of the Renault Formula 1 racecars for 2006 and 2007 respectively. It's about the same with the Red Bull editions RB7 and RB8.

In case you don't want to look like an Enduro driver check out the OMP "New Rally" gloves.

There's a proper original RS aluminium knob available but it isn't exactly cheap. https://en.shop.renaultsport.com/RSperformance/r-s-gearshift-knob-for-6-speed-gearbox.html The Sport Auto Edition and some others come with a similar one that has a "Renault Sport" writing instead of the RS...

Like RSRowe said the revving up is normal when it was parked for a certain period but it shouldn't take 5 mins. More like a half or one. That's at least the case for mine. If you don't let it warm up and start driving right away it can be hesitant with acceleration and also start to "kangaroo"...

Wise decision. From what I've heard it gets more loony by the minute. If you've problems down there you can always contact Kirfel. https://www.renault-kirfel.de/

A buddy has a 197 with an Akra. He's running self-made slash cut tips that have the same diameter as the Akra pipes. They're attached via longer exhaust clamps. Something like this here: https://www.autodoc.de/topran/2723970?gshp=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxtzE1ueugAMVCbjtCh0ezw9DEAQYAyABEgKzZvD_BwE

The smoothed out front grill(s) where actually done by the previous owner and came with the car (see first pic with red plate). Credit where credit is due. Right, KoZa? :wink:

In the first case the damper went, too. The question is if it did go first and caused the tire problem or if the tire problem caused the damper one?:think:

I saw the pic with how far to the front the wheel was moved after your mod but mine did exactly the same after I got my KW Clubsport installed. In my case it rather was the height and width (20mm spacers) combo and not the castor (mine didn't change much) that caused this. It may still help...

Looks are one thing but we had some quite bad experiences over here with the RS-R and RS-Pro. After a trackday with admittedly old ones (Clio). After about 3.000km on some mountain roads (Twingo). After slightly over 100 laps at Hockenheim (Clio). That's why I'm a bit sceptical about them.

I noticed you just started a sales spree. One could get the impression somebody is in dire need of money for a proper foreign country insurance. :sunglasses: On a slightly more serious note. You should think about getting a sticker made for that club. :grinning:
