I came across this 2 weeks ago online, and after phoneconversations with the then owner I decided it was worth the 75 mile drive to go and take a look.
Apart from being filthy, it was straight (HPI and overall condition) aside from all 4 wheels looking tired and some nearly dead tyres.
Full spec;
2008/08 Registration
197 FF + CUP Chassis
Recaros
Ultra Red
Ipod + Stereo Upgrade
Elec Folding Door Mirrors
Darkened Glass
Auto Lights
Auto Wipers
1 previous owner
full renault service history
6 months Tax
Since I have bought it, I have done;
4 x wheel refurb (wheel specialist)
4 x Hankook V12
MOT - passed, no advisories
Full clean and Autosmart Tardis session as it was caked in tar!







As for my plans for it...i'm not sure? I intend to take it to Coombe next month, but may even sell it as I dont have a need for it?

Was hoping to get in with the MIG lot but not confirmed to any one yet? What do I need to do to confirm my attendance?

Late night Autotrader browsing and bought it on a whim tbh. I convinced myself that it will get used for trackdays and weekends....

Nice one. I will see you there Ollie. Mine had a full service in October, but will be having it health checked before I take it on track.

All sorted, best way to keep updated is check the thread on WR or Like the Weekend Racer facebook group and 'attend' the listed event.

CSC3's and straight to the track, you must be made of money. I will barely get a track day out of my current set and they aren't even that old

They are only 400 for a set and you live in Oz where it's boiling hot and it boils your tyres
