    Back in a CS, this time a 172!

    Been messing about with the car lately. First off it’s had all 4 wheels refurbed. They weren’t too bad but all of them were curbed on the lip, and the fresh paint really has brightened them up. As has new tyres! I’m gunna have to raise it at the front as these Ad08rs are a tad chunky and rub...

    18mm PMS spacers all round 🥰

    I fixed it before modifying. I promise. Turns out a fresh tank of V Power and it’s happy. Even happier with how it sits on Bilstein B14s! Have some spacers to go on too

    Balls. Had my first breakdown today. Well, it went into full limp. Both this morning and a second time it struggled to start first time. I somewhat ignored it, and after being left a few hours it started with the warning lamp which is a box with a squiggly line then died. I restarted and had...

    Yeah I was going to do that today but in the process of trying to pull both wipers and the rear one too, I f**king broke my wiper puller tool 😂. So that’s where they’ll stay! I think the paint is better than most treatments personally. I put some gtechniq c4 on the rear wiper base and it’s...

    Decided to take a break from the screen today and fit the @ScottRallye intake I ordered last week! The before shot. Obviously I had to make my life difficult as well! Scott supplies a beautiful bare metal welded piece of art. And I decided, hey I think I want that black. So I scuffed it up...

    Took a bit of sanding but managed to remove the mess caused by the lacquer. I’ll stick to sanding and polishing in the future. I also cleaned all the grime from behind the bumper. You’ll never see it but I’d feel lazy if I didn’t. Painted the little covers on the wipers too as they were so...

    Well it’s fair to say they didn’t remove a single thing to do the paint on this, given the aggressive overspray on everything. So that makes sense.

    Managed to get an hour on it today. Ever get the feeling you’re not the first person in there? Anyways, the grill needs a spruce up as do a few other bits. I like Ctechniq stuff but you can’t beat good old Bumper and trim paint! I also decided to try a new headlight restoration...

    I love groundhog day. It's been a while, I think I sold my last Clio Sport in 2022? Maybe 2023. Either way I've missed having one around, and the recent sale of my Elise has left me yearning for a fun car. Just before Christmas I saved my friends Panda 100hp from the scrapyard, did a load of...

    The Petrol Blue Project continued

    Yes they, and quite a few others, were running rings around the little Lotus out there! So it was nice to occasionally overtake a couple things :ROFLMAO:

    Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Edition

    Lotus did well at its second track day. A 2.5-3hr trip to Manchester to stay at a friends, then we all did the 2 hour hop across to Anglesey in the worst rain I’ve ever driven this car in. It was quite sketchy lol. First time at Anglesey and heard it’s a bit of a tyre delete kit. However...

    The Petrol Blue Project continued

    Was quite funny I was explaining to my non-Clio nerd friends how rare a Petrol Blue one is, only for another to appear halfway through the day 😂. I think once you’ve tried the DS1.11 and like it, most pads feel a bit dead on initial bite compared. Some people don’t like the grabby feel of them...

    Lotus Elise 20th Anniversary Edition

    The adaptive suspension does wonders, even on 20's with runflats its super comfy. I still want rid of the runflats mind you!
