    rupe30's Clio 197

    Thanks @Doogle. Yes remap deffo on the cards, I've a horrible flat spot at 2600rpm and i noticed at Bedford the power delivery was a little hesitant in 3rd gear coming out of corners, hopefully a remap can increase the torque to help with this. The throttle response is just lazy! The Sprint...

    rupe30's Clio 197

    Yeah it's nice to see so many interested in track days. Sounds good, I'll keep an eye on your progress, I'll be after a set in the new year. Good to meet you Pav, fair play for coming so far, I think we all owe you a track day up North.. If Manchester can be classed as 'up North'?! Thanks, I...

    rupe30's Clio 197

    Bedford Autodrome GT 04.11.17 Great Track-Day at the weekend, good to meet so many members and their unique and awesome motors. Really pleased with how my car performed. It's setup for the dry, couldn't get temps up in the rear tyres in the wet so was very sketchy in the morning. Luckily the...

    Big Bens non Clio

    Good to meet you Ben, your car looked great & you were quick out there! Sorry to hear about the brake failure, at least it happened at the end of the day.. It was my brother in the 106, he had a great wet setup which he took full advantage of! Looking forward to the next event :D

    rupe30's Clio 197

    Thanks, yep me too, just hoping the rain holds off :/ Thanks. Yeah really low, main selling point along with the fact it's always been run on premium fuel and never been through a car wash! Ha! My old cup was Silver diamond so I've tried that life! Black trim was all on when I bought this...

    rupe30's Clio 197

    Hey all, Thought I'd put a little progress blog together as I'm back in a Renaultsport and who knows where it'll go... I joined the forum 8 years ago when I had this 197 cup: Ran that for a few years, really enjoyed it. Recently picked up this Albi Blue 197 from @bboy197 who has owned it...

    Is it just me??!!

    If they've bought a clio and it's not a renaultsport then they probably arn't interested in their cars and therefor the risk of a door dent is waaay too high, I stay well away!

    Subframe adjustment - Help needed!!

    I've owned two 197's and they've both pulled to the left. If there's a slight camber in the road the clio will follow it. I suggest either driving another clio and seeing if it's exactly the same or on an empty road drive on the right hand side and see if it pulls to the right as roads generally...

    Has your gearbox been replaced? Yes or no?

    The 4th gear synchro went after about 38k in my old 197 cup. I replaced the gearbox in that. Now in another 197 on 27k and its all good at the moment (as you'd expect!), going to change the gearbox oil regularly. So a vote for both for me.. :think:

    Campaign To Stop The Sale Of Black Renault Diamonds (POLL ADDED)

    I'd just like to thank @LOCKE for uniting all us Black Diamond supporters! Since we've hit 10 first, I think it's only fair that all those with silver diamonds immediately have them replaced with Black.. Accept defeat and come over to the dark side :jedi:

    Go Pro In-Car Mounts

    Thanks, that looks good. That's where I was considering putting it. I've got the mounts to do it, came with the GoPro. I'll post some footage up when I've hooked it up.

    Go Pro In-Car Mounts

    Where are you guys mounting your GoPro's? I'm struggling to find a decent place in my car to mount mine. I was considering a mount on the back of my passenger recaro seat but i imagine it'll wobble too much. Only other option i can see is passenger window with the suction mount as ideally i...

    Boosted 7UP track toy - New Toy Revealed

    Just had a read though, great read. Turn-in looks spot on from the videos. This is going to be next level with the gripper diff. Think I'm going to have to turn mine into a racer now!
