Ah a pdf, ideal! Thanks mate. Haha yeah, I don't think race cars often have much in common, but it's interesting to see how one's actually specced up in comparison. Also, came across your thread on your car the other day when looking for inspiration, great job!

Hi guys, does anyone know (or know of where to find) the full spec of the mk3 Cup Racer, in terms of parts etc. used? I'm intrigued to see the differences between standard and road going, and also to help me put together some ideas of how to turn my 197 into something a little closer to the race...

They're definitely not purple or yellow, but they don't look that new or like they've been disturbed either. Any ways of telling if they are upgraded? There's no play in rocking the engine either, for what it's worth.

Haha no worries, I think it's 2 things...a rattle which the vibration doesn't seem to be helping! However I'm not sure on the vibration as I can't see any upgraded mounts, they all look pretty standard. Maybe it's a normal amount of vibration, I'm not sure...

Cheers all. I don't think it actually has any upgraded mounts, or at least the ones that are easy to see in the engine bay aren't upgraded and there's no receipts in the paperwork (and there's receipts for everything, including floor mats and a steering wheel insert!) so not sure. Did some more...

Hey all, my 197 seems to vibrate quite a lot at idle (can tell through the wheel and the wing mirrors!), and it seems to have a bit of a rattle which seems to be coming from the exhaust area, maybe towards the back. With the A/C on it's worse, and if you give it even a little revs it cures it...

Hey guys, so I was here briefly before with a 200 EDC, but I wasn't really active for that long so figured I'd do a 'new members' post. Yesterday, I bought a 197 to use as a second/track day car, and I'm very pleased with it! It's got a Milltek exhaust, H&R springs and Cup spoiler, plus a few...

@SRT40 haha don't tell me you work at Enstone too? Small world! I was admiring your Raider for rather a long time the other week, and the V6 is special too. Did anyone get to take it for a cheeky spin...?

First off, sorry for getting peoples hopes up...it's still not being made, but it visited work just before Christmas so I had to get some photos of it up close and personal! Ignore the bow, I think it was supposed to represent its visit being our present...:tearsofjoy:

Just to add some reassurance, I had a brand new Polo R-Line a few years ago, my first ever brand new car and pride and joy, and ended up with exactly the same damage you have; a scuff and a dent right on the 'line' of the arch. I thought it'd be difficult to put right because of the location...

Very nice! Normally Audis don't do much for me - very impressive cars but leave me a bit cold, but that one looks stunning. Probably helped by the bright red paint, and little touches like the carbon mirrors and black detailing. Nardo looks great as well, for a grey. I think one thing Audi...

Interestingly, I've had someone from another forum tell me it just clips on and off, and after seeing the photos on this ebay listing for a mk4 R.S. bumper, I'm kind of inclined to agree..?!

Yeah I feared as much. Is it actually in three pieces do you know? Not sure plastidip will do much to hide my scuffs, but whatever I do it'll have to be whilst it's still on the bumper then, unless I take it somewhere and thats gonna get expensive...

This would be useful to know! Mine got damaged from a small rock being flicked up and scuffing it up, so see it as a good chance to just go gloss black. I've seen a guy on Instagram do his silver side strips in red and I believe he says they just clip on/off, but I imagine it's a fairly delicate...

Awesome, thanks a lot! I saw the Elia site but couldn't find it on there, Reichhard look like they will ship worldwide so happy days. It's on my shopping list! Ktec did say they had some poor quality in their 'last order of parts', so I'm guessing it may have been some other products and they...

I'm struggling to find even the Elia one! I spoke to Ktec, and they said they don't stock them anymore (and can't source one) as their last stock of them was poor quality. Makes me a little apprehensive?! Shame, as they do look good. Where did you gets yours from nius02? Somewhere that'd ship...

That's awesome! Good to see that if you're willing to put a little work in, you can get around the massive 'Recaro tax', especially on Renault specific stuff.

Just seen this, will be taking my camera in the car from now on, so when the suns out I'm ready! EDIT: For now, I'd like to enter this of my old 182, during one of the best summer drives I've had.

I guess it's plausible! If they are developing a system as an option for the facelift Clio, then it'd make sense for them to release it as an aftermarket option too, like they have with the Megane. I'm just hopelessly optimistic about one though, given the limited options at the moment.

Good to hear it's holding up well! Video is definitely good, the big number is flying up ;) Mine's only a few months old so I don't wanna go messing too much because of the warranty, but I can imagine the remap makes it a different beast if it's getting into the Type R's league...
