Hi All,
I am from Singapore and find this forum very useful for my quest to understand my R27 in which i just got it pre-owned. Previously owned a heavily boosted Suzuki Swift Sport. I am looking forward to make my R27 a very special ride via NA.
The car is a 2009 reg R27 with 60k km on the dash.
I have a few questions in which i hope the enlightened one can guide me.
1) From what i know cambelt maintenance is to be done every 60k km. But i read from this forum that Renault revised it to 72k km. Should i wait till 72k km or should i get it done asap? If yes, parts in my country is very rare as there is less than 10x 197 on the street. I need advice on where to buy spare parts online without paying the premium.
2) I am planning to import the full racing system from Supersprint from the Y-pipe(873812) to front pipe(873842) to centre pipe(873813) to rear racing exhaust(873904) to endpipe(873814). My question is will it be too loud for urban driving? or should i use the rear exhaust(873804) instead? Will it affect my low-mid end torque?

3) any intake system to match the above exhaust system? I personally would prefer stock airbox. But I am already feeling the lag of throttle response and poor low-mid end grunge. Will the exhaust mod make it worst?
4) what kind of coolant should i use?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Please keep the comments coming and have a healthy discussion.
