Thought it was about time I started my project thread for my cheap track car project...I bought this RB 197 in September, due to missing my old one many years ago! Having previously sold my SG meg powered 200 for a new mk3 focus rs, I regretted the move from the moment the clio left me!
I was...
Hello everyone!
Some of you may remember me from owning Optimus primer...which I sold for a new focus RS. Well ever since I sold up, I realised that I missed owning a Clio.
I've had several toys since,but none could replace the fun I had when I owned a 197 & 200!
I will be mainly using my...
Down visiting my mum in Bodmin at the moment, went out to see some family and while driving my other halfs car, saw a nice RB 197 with white speedlines. Brought back some memories of my old RB! Looked ace!!
So the time has come to fit some new front discs to the car, currently have the performance friction 330 kit on the car which is absolutely faultless! Trouble is, new discs are around £550 from ktec! Which is an stupid amount of money for just two discs!
Apparently the Cazan discs don't fit...
I was at Brands hatch for British superbikes on Sunday and spotted a LY200T a few cars along from my dads Range Rover.
Pretty sure it had the lux and cup pack
reg was V111 DEL
anyone from here?
Spotted two 200s last night while I was meeting some pals at the big sainsburys by J9 M20 ashford.
I did flash the white 200 but no response.
Gordini i havent seen about locally before though.
Anyone??
I've recently sold all my karting gear, due to it not being used, I have a very capable track/road car.....and I'm fat!
So I've gone and bought myself a mountain bike again in an attempt to shave off those extra stones I currently carry.
Now I only have my clio now and I don't really fancy...
I'm after knowing how long it takes to get the gearbox out of a 200 as I have the unfortunate event of my CSC popping while attending a gumball event (highly embarrassing) is it engine out job to get to it?
Obviously I know it will vary as I have a megane box and engine , but was wondering if...
Was a scorcher of a day, so the girlfriend and I thought we'd take a drive up to Brands to catch some of the racing, mainly the Michelin cup series. Been ages since I picked up my camera, so the shot aren't great but thought I'd share. Very close racing which we enjoyed!
Evening guys
had the car on the dyno today as I felt that the car has seemed pretty sluggish compared to its usual self, but wasn't sure if it was where I was used to the power.
Turns out I do have a problem as I only managed 230bhp, we then put the diagnostic tool onto the car and have got...
After owning Optimus for around 5 months now, I finally managed to find the time to get him to where he is happiest....the track! I'll let the pics and video do the talking
Spotted a couple of red 197s today, first one was at the bottom of Whitfield hill parked up near a car dealership.
the second gave me a thumbs up as we passed each other near the round hill tunnels on the A20.
anyone from here?
Quality of photos are poor due to iPhone snaps im afraid!
Went over to a friend of mines this morning and washed the cars, bit of polish and some wax later we thought we'd get a snaps. There's more megane here than there is clio but here goes.
Evening guys, had a lot of creaking noise coming from the o/s/f so got the car up on the ramps today at my dad's garage. On further inspection we have found it to be the ball joint in a bad way!!
So I got on the phone to r-sport and spoke to somebody there who wasn't at all helpful and was...
