    200 Tow strap bolt

    I've no idea how this will fit but for the amount of effort gone into it I'm happy to put my name down if it goes ahead.

    200 Tow strap bolt

    Been rushing around today - let me check this properly tomorrow and give you an answer. Will more than likely be a yes, but need to check. Thanks

    R27 track car build- engine refresh time.

    Thanks - will be interested in seat rail kit if you're selling them if it comes in lighter than the setup I've just bought.

    R27 track car build- engine refresh time.

    No problem. I will be putting cage in hopefully end of this month. Any chance you could share the drawings so I can get something made up? Don't worry if not. Also, did you damage your screen getting the cage in? Have heard that it a pig of a job, and likely to crack the front screen.

    200 Tow strap bolt

    My cover has long since gone, so as a track car I'd like the strap to be level with the outer bumper so it was visible to marshals . Perhaps we need two versions, or is that getting too complicated?

    Looking to buy a 197

    I know some of the track and race guys turn to single exit for weight reduction, but can't see why you'd want to do it on a normal road car. Also, if a dealer has had this hanging around for any more than 3 months then it's a dead loss to him - he could have another car sat there potentially...

    R27 track car build- engine refresh time.

    Only just spotted this thread - fabrication looks superb. I have the same cage going into my shell. What are you going to do with your rear suspension top mounts? I'm stuck atm. Have brand new KW V3's going on, but would like to have solid top mount if possible. Looks like you are putting your...

    Looking to buy a 197

    I agree it does seem a little on the steep side, but I have no idea what extra's you get on the F1 over a standard 197 or 197 cup. I'm sure others will tell you in the morning. Personally for that sort of money I'd be looking at a lower mileage, newer cup, or perhaps even a 200. Either way, I...

    Looking to buy a 197

    Some people on here will also love the black front Renault badge!! Looks like it's been well looked after, but might be worth seeing what other mods have been done.

    Looking to buy a 197

    Can tell straight away it's been modified. Single exit exhaust, silicon pipework and aftermarket headunit.

    Looking to buy a 197

    Hi. The engines seem fairly strong with the timing belt change being the only main concern. If the dealer is changing this then you should be fine, but ask if they are also changing the tensioners, water pump and possibly the dephaser also. Mk3 dephasers are thought to be stronger/better than...

    ideal suspension setup

    I have been using H&R lowering springs with cup shocks, and have to say for a relatively cheap setup they have been great on track. Have just invested in a set of new KW V3's, which are said to be one of the better setups, but not cheap. AST setup is even more expensive. B14 setup is more for...

    I'm still tempted by one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULTSPORT-CLIO-197-200-MK3-STAINLESS-STEEL-TOW-EYE-HOOK-TRACK-RACE-RALLY-/132128253953?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A197&epid=681402298&hash=item1ec3752801:g:NXUAAOSwzgBYyrhX

    200 Tow strap bolt

    I think you are probably right with 2.5mm thread pitch. Just been to garage and my gauge only goes as high as 1.75, and that was way off.

    200 Tow strap bolt

    It needs a proper gauge to measure. I have one and will get into the garage within an hour or so.

    200 Tow strap bolt

    I can get the thread pitch of the tow bolt in an hour or so if no-one knows it. Leave it with me.

    That's quite a difference!!! Definitely a job worth doing. Have added it to the list. Let us know how you get on, and best method you've found.

    06 nimbus 197 daily track toy

    This is interesting, as I've continually read that there is little gain to be had by increasing the capacity of inlet airflow with this engine. Might have to take a look at this. Any pics of before and after?
