    197: UR near Manchester, M62 East

    My old car, my mate recognised the reg and sent me a video. Now with added cup spoiler! Hope whoever has it is enjoying it.

    197: LY R27 at Curborough

    Was it anyone off here that came down to Curborough on Friday? Never got chance to have a closer look at the car!

    (Fiesta ST) Sunset Drive and New Alloys

    Fitted my new TD Pro Race 1.2's yesterday and grabbed some pictures whilst the sun was setting earlier this evening. Happy with them for now, but it definitely needs lowering! These ST's really are cracking cars :)

    You came off at the same junction and I noticed your forum sticker. I was in front in the dirty ST!

    RS to ST

    Another one that's made the move to an :st: Here's how I got there... Clio 197 Picked up my 197 in 2010 for my 21st. A fantastic car, that I ended up spending a fair bit on. Recaros, Cup Racer Speedlines, ITG, full brake set up and various gearboxes... Looked like this: And when I sold...

    Lightpainting Photoshoot - Group Buy - £10!

    Not everyone can see the group buy section, so I thought I'd repost here to see if anyone is interested. I've had a lot of interest expressed in a recent photoshoot, so I thought I'd get back in touch with the photographer and see if he'd sort a group buy for us :thumbup1: Here's some examples...

    Light Painting with a Megane RS

    As some of you may know, the car has been at Renault for the past month, so what better way to welcome it back than a photoshoot. Thought I'd share! Credit to Jord Cooper for the pictures - genuinely great guy and does these pictures for a bargain price! Wouldn't...

    DB R27 @ Meridian, Leicester (Pic)

    Spotted yesterday evening as we'd just been to see The Hangover 3! Parked near the missus' Megane 225. Lovely car.

    Steering Rack

    I'm fully aware that there is a (ever increasingly) common steering rack issue with the 197/200, but I need help identifying if mine is faulty or whether there is another obvious issue. Symptoms: - Slight knock from N/S/F, audible when dropping off speed bumps or over uneven ground (i.e...

    Scratch/Scrape Noise from Engine

    Really descriptive title... I know the internet isn't the greatest place to diagnose what is causing an irregular engine noise, but I was hoping of few of the technical gurus could have a listen and point me in the right direction. Also worth noting that a cambelt is due at the end of the...

    DIY Alcantara Retrim

    Following on from Harry_197's thread, I had a go at retrimming some interior parts in Alcantara. So far I've done the A pillars, vent surround and clock surround (with some UR top stitch :tongue_smilie:). Obviously not up to professional standards of Edge Automotive and the like, but for £15...

    Track Day @ Curborough

    Just a few pictures from a track day earlier this week at Curborough, organised by some friends of mine on Pistonheads. The turn out was fantastic, and the 197 is now in the top 10 of lap times recorded at these events so far! Very impressed, punching well above its weight...

    Quick detail and cup racer speedlines are on!

    Took advantage of the sunshine and half term, and gave the 197 a wash! 5 hours of de-tarring, polishing, waxing and not to mention the lovely scent of fallout remover... ...and only an iPhone pic to show off all the work! Put the cup racer speedlines I bought off iAndy the other week...

    Sidelight bulb

    Sidelight bulb - is it the same type as the interior bulbs? Noticed the drivers side had gone today (supposedly the easier side to change), and as I've upgraded the interior lights to LED's I have the OEM interior bulbs to hand. Pretty sure it is the same type (501), but wondered if it'd be...

    Video: Curborough Track Day

    Just finished editing some footage I took with a mate's Go Pro HD2 from a track day at Curborough last week (out-takes included!). Seems to sum up the informal, fun feel of the day! 0rxP3xczZJM Looking forward to the next one, if anyone wants to join let me know! :thumbup1:

    2 RB 200's @ Bradgate

    Passed both of you by Bradgate Park in the missus' DCi on Saturday, looked very smart! Was a nice day for a walk/drive out too :)

    197: "Check Injection" + "Check ESP" + Limp Mode.

    Happened a couple of times now when accelerating hard near the limiter. Turning the car off and back on again clears the warning light and there is no issue with idle etc. Car drives fine. Obviously the best way to check is with a CLIP tool, but I don't have one to hand (if anyone in the...

    Wax Tec

    http://www.wax-tec.co.uk/index.php/component/virtuemart/special-offers/the-big-offer-detail?Itemid=0 Any advice on the above deal? I'm running low on detailing goodies and I've heard this brand has some connections with other big detailing names like Mitchell and King - and this seems like a...

    Poser in Stafford?

    Albi Blue 197 yesterday. The full 'poser' including sunglasses in this overcast weather, windows down, music blasting and the compulsory hitting of the limiter in 1st gear away from the traffic lights in town. Haha!
