Picked myself up a nice little silver 197 (well it's starting to look better after I removed the stickers and the chrome grills, each to their own) NG56 PKY with 50k on the clock Miltek exhaust and K&N filter fitted. Bought it in Bury but the bloke had taken it in part ex for an M3. I think it's from the Leeds area previously. Anyway had it about 3 weeks and the weld around the exhaust manifold cracked!! Easy enough job i thought, how wrong pretty much a full day to remove it as the suspension subframe had to come off to get it out. So while I had it in bits i started to have a good poke around and noticed a weeping front drivers side shock and the last 40mm of the passenger side rear spring, where it sits in the bottom cup broken off. Well nothing else for it got a full set of Eibach springs and some front Renault Cup dampers on the way.
My friends warned me that owning a french hot hatch would keep me busy at weekends, but puts a very large grin on my face when it's running right.
By the way seems a little flat below 4000rpm then goes like a rocket so I'm thinking of getting it remapped, anyone got any recommendations?
