Distance really shouldnt be an issue if its the right car for the right money, When i bought the r26 i had before my clio I got dropped at birmingham airport and flew to aberdeen at around 8, Test drove the car, did the deal and drove it home. Was home by 6.30
I've been in my house just over a year now. Still having to pay out for things! New front door last month. 800 quid gone. Not many mods happening to the car. Luckily most the stuff was done when I bought the car.
Thinking of possibly changing it this year if I can afford it. Depends how work goes
Thats why im trying to get stuff done with plenty of time. Then if something goes wrong ive got plenty of time.
For the price of brembo hc's new disks isnt a massive expense.
Had a few good weeks at work so the ring fund is looking good as well :)
Bit more ring prep done, Tracking checked yest as steering wheel was a bit of center. Was going to change oil as sun was out but by the time i got the car jacked up it was raining, Stupid weather!
May change spark plugs in the garage today as the weather is horrible.
Hopefully get everything ready a whole before just in case anything does happen nearer the time!
Took it out for a bit of a spitited drive, had forgotten just how well it grips!
Well progress has started on ring prep, Been having trouble with the abs/tc/serv light coming on. Changed the pedal sensor and still had it coming back. Then found a guide to adjusting it and all seems good now. Bloody french electrics!
Also changed the ball joints as there was a little play in...
This seems to have started recently. One time it won't come on others it comes on nearly straight away. Think my tracking may be slightly out as the steering wheel is a bit off center. Could this be causing it? If not what could be?
The origional rc5s where but the + seems to be fine. Had them in my r26 as well. When I got that it had ds2500s in but I really didn't rate them in comparison
Get some rc5+ in there. Never had fade with mine! Got some brake ducting to fit at some point as well.
Euro car parts deal means i got shell helix ultra for just over £30 which is pretty good, Got new ball joints and need to get my tracking checked as wheel isnt quite straight. I blame the...
After quite a bit of track use last year the steering wheel isnt quite central when going straight. Occasionally on a long motorway journey the tc and serv light come on.
Could this be to do with the tracking?
Had a new angle sensor fitted last year at wests so dont think its that
Just ordered some new spark plugs for when i service the clio, Thinking about getting some magnecor leads but are they really worth it?
Whats the advantage to them?
Mines not really interested in it and it doesn't bother me tbh. I've been 6 times and she's never been. Wouldn't want her to as all she would do is moan.
She does her thing I do mine. Then we do something together. Seems to work well for us as she likes sitting by the pool for a week and that...
A friend did the trip a few years ago in a 172 cup with an omp exhaust. Had to wear earplugs all the way. Dont think i could do it. would really annoy me!
