With the job I do I get to travel around the country side of North Wales and Cheshire. On my travels I have come across some real old classic cars etc. Basically come across a Mk2 Scirocco the other week offered the guy £100 and he accepted.
Some good history with the car. His wife had bought...
Basically as the title says.
I had my bumper re-sprayed as the person before me had the head light washers smoothed and had been done by a cowboy had cracked etc, and travelling to and from swansea it was riddled with stone chips.
I just picked some up from renault today and they fit but there...
Iv been wanting to do this for a while, did have in mind blue but last minute changed my mind TO RED. I expect hate from some people if not majority but I like it. Oh and there are no brembo stickers
1st coat
I only have 3 axle stands and was also working on the head light issue (UAV...
Cleaning my wheels and arches yesterday and noticed that there was a build up of sludge round a caliper and bottom of suspenison leg (drivers side). Had a look around and noticed it was coming from the break line as it meets the caliper. Kind of answered another question, I had noticed the car...
Took advantage of the nice weather. Had the wheels off cleaned the arches, t-cut, polish and a good vac. Even went as far as back to blacking the arches.
Also borrowed my mums Canon 1100d :( cooler than me FTL.
Then when it went dark went for a drive to a business park for some pics...
Seeing as though a couple of people have mentioned I should be using my i-car and for the crowd of people around me when I won it that had a laugh at my expense when it was hidden from me. Heres some pics of it in action and a couple of videos :rasp:
This will be making...
Went down to Penzance with the missus camping for 6 days. Had a fantastic time. What a lovely area cornwall is never been myself so went too some really nice coastal villages etc. (no looting or yoofs being mischievous)
Before i went fitted my cup spoiler which i got from css.
Quite a few pics...
I have the light that looks like an electric pulse in a rectangle box on the dash and the car will not go over 3k revs. I went down the garage (luckily its booked in tomorrow having the CV Joint done) and they plugged it in and it come back as accelerator switch malfunction. Does this sound...
Basically IMO the Clio speakers sound like tin foil wrapped round paper plates, maybe this is due to previous car being an Audi and having the luxury of Bose.
Anyway I want bass but dont want a dog kennel in the boot. Been doing some searching and there are some Slimline Subs for around £60...
Going to service my car myself. Whats the best stuff to get? What should I change? Oil, Plugs? Never done it before and wanting to give it a go. So after as many tips and advice as people can offer.
Also how easy is to change the gear box oil? and whats best for that?
Cheers

Been living in Swansea, South Wales now for 9 months and iv never properly been on a drive round the hills just around the flat parts down Pembroke etc. On Wednesday I had to do a drive and survive with work and whilst out I come across some great roads. Anyway less of the "cool story bros"...
Ive just bought myself a Mountain Bike just asking what people use to take there bike places (no smart comments about riding them, long distance or to local trails). A mate had the boot one and the bike ended up scratching his boot so I'm thinking of a roof rack, my cars low so it will be easy ha.
I am after 4 small renault diamonds to go on centre caps. I have tried renault, searched high and low on ebay and even asked at good old halfrauds and I cant seem to find anywhere or one that can get them.
Does anyone on here know of anywhere to get them or someone have 4 lying around...
Nothing special but as I work for National Grid as a Linesman on the pylons thought id grab a few snaps with them in the back ground. Still saving up for coilovers, apologies for the high stance :rasp:
Dont ask about the bush lol they were taken on my phone haha
Typical, fitted my splitter last Thursday and was out for a Sunday drive round Saddleworth and out of nowhere a moggie darts straight out from behind a parked car. :(
and a few pics of the car. The cat could live in the arch gap (if it wasnt dead) :dapprove:
I HATE Cats
Got my car back from the garage on Thursday night, looking good if I do so say myself.
Looks 1000x better than the white wheels.
When I picked it up
Then took it back my flat, and fitted the splitter :D
Then got it washed
Drove back up to Manchester...
Did add them to my other thread but they can have there own

Either way got a grin like a cheshire cat :D:D:D
