Harry. Posted 19, October 2012 Report Share Posted 19, October 2012 Hi OzRS, I'm 22, in my final semester of a BA at Macquarie (North Ryde) and looking at purchasing a RSC197 within the next few months. I've got the cash, have done my research and it seems like the Frenchies have got the formula right with the Clio. I was keen on a MK5 gti for a while but the stiff chassis and high revving N/A engine of the Clio has almost got me sold. One question, and I realise I may be asking a lot; is there anyone in Sydney, preferably northside, whose 197/200 I could come and have a look at? If someone could take me for a quick drive that would be even better. I'd just like to get a feel for the car, it's size, interior and of course performance...I have literally never seen one in the flesh! The willing owner would of course be reimbursed with a 6-pack or, perhaps more fittingly, a bottle of wine. Harry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasputin Posted 19, October 2012 Report Share Posted 19, October 2012 Not sure where you are in Sydney but your local Renault dealer might be worth a ring to see if they have a trade in on their lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 19, October 2012 Report Share Posted 19, October 2012 Mmm, 6 pack of beer Welcome to the forum mate! It's worth noting that, unless you're getting a R27, you'll have regular seats in the 197 so sitting in a Recaro-equipped 200 Trophee may not be entirely relevant. A couple of us are going to the Euro Style Tuning meet in Silverwater next month (25th to be exact) so that's a good chance to finally see one. You could also vote and help us win the best club while you're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy93 Posted 20, October 2012 Report Share Posted 20, October 2012 Welcome mate, hope you get your bum in a seat soon. A couple of us are going to the Euro Style Tuning meet in Silverwater next month (25th to be exact) so that's a good chance to finally see one.

xx777 Posted 20, October 2012 Report Share Posted 20, October 2012 I'm normally around somewhere too if you want to take a look at the last of the 200s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus Posted 20, October 2012 Report Share Posted 20, October 2012 Hey mate, I actually work at the Uni & would be happy to take you for a spin, although mine is a 182 Cup (which, as we all know, remains the benchmark by which all other Clios are judged).

walkie86 Posted 20, October 2012 Report Share Posted 20, October 2012 ... mine is a 182 Cup (which, as we all know, remains the benchmark by which all other Clios are judged). I thought that was the ph1 172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSGO Posted 21, October 2012 Report Share Posted 21, October 2012 YEP.. The 172/182 are benchmarks and the 200 Trophee is the top peg. lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
