Good Morning
Decided to join these forums as it's nice to have a place to frequent
Been a member of M3 cutters, VX220.org and a few other owners websites with the cars I've owned.
Picked up a 197 last year to save me some money and buy a house, but with the intention to rag it round a few track days. (Croft being local)
Last few cars include
Vauxhall VX220
Mitsubishi Evo 7
e46 M3
So the Clio is a nice place to come down to be my first hot hatch, and first FWD car.
Handling is on point and power isn't too bad if you keep momentum going.
I've been thinking about making an homage to the 182 trophy by speccing my 197 in the same manner. It's red, some decent suspension and trophy stickers will surely annoy a few people.
Currently it's a 2007 197 in red with xenon lights, cup suspension, recaro's as standard.
Few basic mods as below
H&R springs
Stud conversion
20mm front and 5mm rear spacers to bring wheels into similar spacing to the cup racers.
Colour coded bullets, handles and mirrors.
More planned with a rear cage and KW coilovers.
Heading off to Scotland next month to do 1000 miles including the NC 500 route.
Also looking at another track day at Knockhill towards the end of may.
Anyone else in the area (NEWCASLTE) give me a shout as I've seen a few about.
Also a member of 197/200 facebook page.
So hello and thanks for having me
Pictures to come later
