Who here owns a Renaultsport?

Damn all the people nearby getting phase 1s recently. Now I keep looking at Phase 1s

To sum my 182 up, still waiting for the guy to pay up to sort my scrape on my bumper out, had a miss fire which ended up being water down the spark plug area. Cheap arse ht leads not sealing the top properly.

Still need to check the brakes over properly after trackday. Something just isn't right with them so to speak, nothing dangerous.

Black is the best colour :cool:

Finally got round to giving the car its first good clean at the weekend, was a little too cold for it really though. But looks pretty good overall:

Need to get the wheels either refurbished or replaced, sort a few stone chips out on the bonnet, and the exhaust pipes don't stick out the same length so need to sort that out too as it annoys me every time i see it.

And another black one :cool:

What happened to the front splitter though?

Darryl_1983 · 4 Apr 2013 at 10:31

Wasn't aware it was supposed to have one to be honest. I have been thinking about getting a cheap fabia one fitted, but not sure if i like them or not.

Black/Gold :cool:

Get the Fabia one, I have it on mine and it looks fine. Yozza??

Darryl_1983 · 4 Apr 2013 at 10:50

No its a Scorpion, not the RS192 version though, single rear back box. Sounds pretty good at high revs but still fairly quite when driving normally, though i'd like it to sound a little more raspy.

Decat??

The Cup Styling pack adds the Cup spoiler, grey wheels, and front splitter. You have the spoiler and the wheels, so either they were retro added by a previous owner, or it had the cup pack and the splitter has been removed or broken.

I have looked at decats, but i'm worried it'll be too loud or droney. May try and pick up a second hand one to give it a try at some point, at least i'll be able to sell it on for little to no lose.

A quick question to people with CL pads, mine have just arrived but I notice they don't have the little springy things in the middle that hold them tight in the carrier? Are they going to rattle, or do I need to find the shims that were removed and thrown out when I fitted DS2500s?

TerryWogan · 6 Apr 2013 at 22:43

Hey guys, just a question about the cambelt service on a 197 - what does it involve and how much are we looking at?

Yes they will rattle a lot.

I retrospectively fitted some anti rattle clips as the rattles drove me insane...

Drilled the top, filed it open slightly and pushed the clips in...

Those are RC5+ pads >> http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q51/laine_16v/DSC01834Custom.jpg

So I bought a 2007 197 today. Metallic blue. Picking it up next Saturday. Will update when I get it!

Fitted powerflex inner arb bushes today on the drive on axle stands, my god what a horrible job!

Big rattles from my CL pads. Won't be getting any more for the next set as I think I went a bit OTT for my driving.

Bugger all fade on track though. Something's not right with my brakes though now, still not had time to check them after Llandow (they still work but get a bit of vibration and noise)

SJM Automotive have an introductory offer on at the moment. It's £350 for a 1*2 with AC. So I can't see a 197 being too much more

My car is (well, will be when I get it back on the road) almost exclusively used on track so they seemed a good option.

I have had vibration after a track day. Its either warped disks or pickup from a hot spot. Changing the disks fixes it.
