    Engine / Gearbox Mounts & Vibration

    Can you see the lower mount from looking down behind the engine where the manifold is? The reason ask is I have an idea where I think it should be but there's nothing there, but space where a mount could go. I'm sure it's unlikely, but it came with a toyo manifold fitted, if it's near here I'm...

    Engine / Gearbox Mounts & Vibration

    So since I've had my car it's always been a bit aggressive when pulling away. Alot of vibration. I didn't really give it too much thought as I've been busy doing jobs on it rather than driving it. I had it MOT'd today through a friend and he picked up on the vibration. It only seems to be when...

    My 197 - Project / Track Car

    If you come to replace, it the ebay ones for around £60 are spot on if your happy to remove your old bracket and weld or bolt it on. Everything lined up, all the bolt holes for the bumper and under tray were perfect. I did add more hammerite to it though as paint is a bit thin

    My 197 - Project / Track Car

    I've owned my 197 just over a month now. Generally a good car, plenty of receipts, 70k but it's 15yr old and feeling its age. When I bought it: The car was always going to be gradually built up to be for track but with not much MOT on it I wanted to just go through it and see what it needed...

    Oil Pump & Track Preparation

    I dunno if I'm being over cautious but I'm concerned about things breaking on track. This year is the first I'll be taking my own car out. Cars in good shape, good history. 70k on the clock, no issues. Booked in for cam belt, water pump and dephaser end of the month. Good oils to go in both...

    New Member - RS197

    Yea it appears to be straight, bushes are good. My headache will be the brake pipe flexi's from chassis to axle, those ferrals and brackets look rough.

    New Member - RS197

    Hey, thought I'd introduce myself. I recently bought a Ultra Red 197 to use for track days. I've been going on track with friends for a few years and the Clio seemed like a good choice after a couple friends running 200's. So I bought a 2008 197, 70k, good history, near on standard bar a Toyo...

    Black Headlights - Cornering Lights

    Yea I wouldn't want anything like that, you can buy low wattage amber lamps for DRL's so was thinking of something like that. I'll probably just see if I can get some crome blanks so it looks a little better and leave it at that.

    Black Headlights - Cornering Lights

    I'm just in the middle of a few job on the front end, when I'm putting back I'm putting the black projector units in. They have the cornering lamps but I dont have the wiring. I wondered if anyone has done any interesting mods using this lamp if they have fitted the same? Maybe amber running...

    Front Subframe Brackets

    Thanks Marc. What website is that? As I've been told that these part numbers are discontinued. I've found a set on ebay. Not genuine Renault but says for a 2.0l 16v sport. I'm just waiting for a reply to confirm with reg.

    Front Subframe Brackets

    Hi all, I'm having trouble finding the correct front subframe mounts for my 197 I originally ordered these, as it lists 2.0 16v sports. I was messaged this morning to say they don't fit according to their main dealer parts system...
