Fully in, i also fitted a slightly bigger o ring at the very top and it worked really well

May be worth fitting arp's on the next oil change then as I feel like the engine needs more rpm as its still pulling well even to the limiter, quite annoying as I've read that the engines are under square so shouldn't be revved too high due to piston speeds

Whats the maximum it can be increased by safely?

One point to note is that the ds1.11 pads will probably last 4 times longer than pbs pro race so worth factoring that in

The ferodos are leagues ahead of pbs protrack pads which aren't great tbh for track use, pro race are ok for the money but wear fast and lack feel and initial bite, similar to ebc yellows. From my experience, CL rc6 are great but can crumble away on a daily so only any good for a track/race car...

Is the map sensor a tight fit into the manifold? I've put a thinner o ring on mine at the very top and put 2 cable ties round very tight and it made the car run much better. Also I'd try cleaning the crank sensor too before you investigate further as it only takes 2 mins

Hi, just wondering if I would be better off getting this repaired or trying to source a new bootlid? Going to get a quote this week on a repair, does anyone know roughly how much it will be? Theres 2 patches below the window Thanks

Don't know if you have already stored it yet, but i wouldn't brim the tank as you'll want fresh fuel in it when you come back to using it. Also bang the tyre pressures right up and put a couple of moisture traps in

Evol engineering do a poly mount thats very good and much cheaper than pms/ktec

I've swapped out the recaros in my 197 for some 200 seats and it has put the airbag light on, just wondering if anyone can reccomend a garage that can reset/reconfigure it for me. Thanks

Suprised you didn't cook them at blyton if there the brembo oe spec pads, they might be part of the problem but like big ben says, it seems quite common to get noises like your describing which just seem to go away on there own

What pads are you using mate? Could be uneven build up of material on the disc

Should be a simple process then I imagine, will have to look for a renault specialist nearby Cheers

hoping someone can help with my airbag light problem. Basically the 197 i have didn't originally come with recaro seats but someone retrofitted them before i bought the car, i have now swapped them for some standard 200 seats and now the airbag light is on which I half expected. I have found...

First job was to try and sort out the flat spot and jerky throttle response between 2.5-3k rpm, after a quick read around online I noticed most of these problems are caused by the map sensor not sealing correctly into the manifold so I took it out and put a smear of silicone around for a quick...

Thought i'd put a few pics up of a recently aquired 197, not sure if its been owned by anyone on here before as it seems very well looked after and has had recaros fitted at some point. Plans are to slowly get it to a decent spec to be fun on the road and throw the odd trackday in now and again

Hi mate, i've not used rc5+ but have used rc6 compound on the road/track in a previous car (172 cup) and they were mega noisy, the brake dust from them is really hard to get off the wheels too as there sintered compound

hi guys, new to the forum and just trying to weigh up whether the recaros I have currently fitted are worth repairing or just selling on and putting a set of standard seats in, they are the blue dot 197 recaros with the usual bolster wear on drivers and passenger. It has gone through the fabric...

How easy are they to fit/remove luke? I'm looking at some but don't want them on the car permanently
