Luckily Saturday was dry so I cracked on. First thing to do was remove the head unit to connect all the required cables. This isn't as easy as it sounds.
Having a connects2 module to use the oe steering wheel remote means there's a massive rats nest of wires and plugs tucked up above the radio...
I went to Sports Cars in the park at Newby Hall yesterday and it was the lowest turn out I've seen there. Luckily some people know cars are waterproof and still brought some fancy stuff. I didn't take as many pics this time and found some of the reg plates more entertaining than the cars!

Amp and wiring kit arrived the other day so I cracked on today. First job was to remove the glove box and the air box and find a place to feed the power cable through. JBL amp got good enough reviews and only cost £200 and the Vibe wiring kit was easier than ordering everything separately...
Stripped some of the car out to start fitting the sub and speakers. Then the amp I'd ordered got delayed so I've been driving with half the interior missing.
It's f**king noisy! Which reminded me I had some sound deadening stuff buried in the garage so I'll be adding more weight by covering...
Yep it was cup pack equipped so has the shorter rack. That's why I'm more keen on having it refurbished than buying a used one and not knowing what one I'd end up with.
That's very generous sir, I'll swap for some if your favourite confectionery if you find them 👍.
Dead spot going straight. It feels like there's a degree either way that doesn't do anything, it's as if there's a coupling that's got some backlash in it, that's the best way I can describe it. It was like that on our last Wales trip a couple of years ago and I figured if it was going to break...
The godspeed kit come with spacers, I believe it's just a 9mm spacer that's required though so I could easily knock some up. The BM has silver calipers and I think they need to stand out a little bit more. Maybe a light blue as the pear is slightly blue on the car 🤔.
Booked the clio in at Diamond Motors for the steering rack checking and or refurbishing. My research turned up a few instances of steering racks going sloppy on early 197's and I'd hope Renault had sorted the issue by the time the 200 was introduced but you never know. I saw a post of Mick's...
