Afternoon everyone. havent shown my face for a while but I retune to pose a question to all the like minded enthusiasts. I'm currently in the process of selling my dream car, mint 400bhp Evo 9, the mrs has forced my hand in the matter in favour of a house. If you ask me her priorities are well...

Has anybody ever come across my old 197 during their travels? I used to keep in touch with the new owner but have since lost contact, he always said he'd join up to the forum. I'd love to know its whereabouts and how she's getting on, coming up to 3 years now since I sold it, crazy. So many new...

London bound BP just before Grays turnoff. My god LY looks good under the lights of a petrol station forecourt. I miss mine :(

So after only 18 months I've already parted with my 265 Trophy. I absolutely loved this car from start to finish, it was faultless and fantastic in every way. My last memories of it are at a waterlogged Bedford autodrome trackday where it was unstoppable. Only reason I sold was because my dream...

Parked down in paddock hill bend, very recognisable car, at modified live. Making me Missing the 197 scene :(

Saturday just gone driving into Holywell bay campsite, 3 lads in car with a 197.net tax disc? I was playing the crazy golf at the theme park.

Well, after 5 joyful years of ownership the 197 finally parted my ownership Saturday gone. Its gone to a top fella whos replacing his 911 GT3 with a cheaper trackday alternative, to who i hope it gives many more years of enjoyment. Been a roller coaster during my time in the 197 but i hold...

Okay looking at a used renaultsport 250 this week but its past is putting me off, the misses keeps telling me I'm being stupid. Read on! Car is an 11 plate with 11,300 miles on the clock, has every option I wanted ( cup chassis, recaros, RS monitor, black 19s ) and is generally in very good...

As most of you know I have the 197 up for sale. I've had quite a bit of interest too, some offers temping and other laughable. But this morning received a text from a company who want to offer me damn near the asking price and want to collect tomorrow and pay cash!? Can't find much info on...

Well here I find myself again, the 197 not really doing it for me anymore and trying to get out of this modifying game. Of all the cars I've looked into for a replacement over the years ( Civic FN2, Evo, 350z, S2000 and a 250 ) only one car tempted me away from the clios and it was an oyster...

Appologies if this is a repost, watched it 6 times now and just gets funnier every time lol: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Y4ZmolZCnX8&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DY4ZmolZCnX8%26feature%3Dyoutu.be Might try this into paddock hill bend next time. Less than an ideal situation :p

Would love ktecs/Performance frictions 330mm big brake kit but really having trouble justifying the £700+ price tag for a pair of discs! ( could get a full 4 pot wilwood setup for the 172 with that! ). Godspeeds alternative is on offer at the moment for £500, they look pretty tasty but never...

Ah bad times! Got a track day tomorrow morning so got the 197 out last night for a clean and once over, it's been sitting in the garage for approx. a month and a half unattended. During the drive to the jetwash I noticed the brakes were very poor, almost zero bite and on a damp road emergency...

Well its about time i introduced the latest addition to the fleet, i've been a little lazy as i've owned this for 2 months now but i'll start from the beginning. Yes it isnt a 197/200 either so if your not partial to abit of mk2 chavviness then switch channels now :p So after 2 loyal years of...

A house? After recently getting married to my partner for 8 years the next logical step in life seems to be to get out of renting property and secure a mortgage for our first house. Its as good a time as any right now for first time buyers with 95% mortgages making a reappearance, but...

So where's my bloody limited edition plaque? Happened to be looking on the how many are left website we all know and love from topgear, the RenaultSport stats are very interesting. According to their records only 380 odd 197 Cups were registered in the UK, with the R27 registering 420 odd...

I fancy a new daily, something with abit more punch than the 1.4 Clio. After much debate and convincing with the misses I've been green lit and permitted a maximum budget of £2000. I've looked into many different motors ( laguna V6 lmao! ) and finally narrowed it down to either a Clio 172...

Hi all. Hopefully this is going to be of great help to and interest to all. I was going to wait for Matt @ TDF to post this up but it seems he's too busy at the moment. Okay last month i booked my car in with TDF for more power. We decided to attack the camshaft setup as Matt was sure it...

Any regulars of the site will know that I've had my car up for sale and removed twice in the past 4 years now. Once tempted by a civic type R in the early days of my standard 197, and secondly by a megane 250. In both occasions I came to my senses after a b road blast and chose the old gurl over...

Attended a trackday at Snetterton yesterday, first time there but to be honest i wasnt taken by the track. It was a little boring compared to the likes of Brands Hatch and Donington! Anyway a good and major event free day was had by most except a caterham which hit a wall head on and got the...
