    A bit of a random one, but I'm curious as to how others would view this and what they would feel was suitable!? long story short, I've been off work a fair while, a few health issues and a lot of depression and extreme low's along the way, currently on a lot of pain relief and anti depressants...

    Exh manifold change - south east?

    I'm trying to find somewhere that will do my manifold change on the 197, I'm just not in a position to be taking this on myself at present, and my usual two suspects I'd ask to do it have both said its a job they would rather not take on. ive approached a company I trust and he is looking in to...

    Heading back from a trip to Birmingham this morning collecting car parts, I spotted a Nimbus 197 on the M25 on the inside lane around the Heathrow/Thorpe Park Area aprox 11:45am. From what I could gather, it was being driven by a lovely lady :)

    A new Renault Sport added to the fleet

    maybe a bit of a daft post, as I haven't picked it up yet... pics to follow when its collected. but today, ive made a bit of an impulse purchase as ive always quite liked the look of the Phase 1 172's, especially in black which I believe are fairly rare. I had a bit of a jest to the misses last...

    airbag deactivation

    im aware that some models of the 197 have a switch on the drivers side of the dash that's hidden when the door is shut, that can be switched to de-activate the passenger airbags. im assuming this isn't on our car due to it being an R27 and having the Recaro's? I would also assume that the main...

    parting with the R27

    possibly the shortest ownership or usage of a 197. purchased about 6 weeks back, used for a ring trip and the car has been stood ever since as the trip left me so very disappointed with it compared to the Trophy track car id been using previously. I just couldn't find the love, nor any...

    Front seat values.

    Hi all, im considering selling my R27 front seats as they are being replaced with buckets. the values seem to vary to much from what I've seen, with a set on here presently advertised at £1k with bolster wear, where as mine are perfect, i can only assume it's been carefully looked after or been...
