Stripped the back out yesterday before the coilovers got put on, no need for the extra weight back there!
Dropped the car off at AW motorworks about half 9, had the car back by lunch time
Ride height and a bit of corner weighting later I was off to the alignment garage and had something fairly...
They’re here finally!
yellowspeed coilovers with the 7/4 spring rates. Awesome quality and very excited to get these fitted and set up properly 😁
Also got some socks for them as well to make sure they’re as protected as I can get them to be 😂
No major updates up, should be getting something through this week which I’m very excited about .. a key piece of the build!
Had a full decon wash today, didn’t realise how bad the paint got again 😂
So what with the upper torque mount having been done, I order an engine and gearbox polybushing to go along with the upgrades.
The engine mount was a pain in the arse, took way too long and I don’t want to do it again 😂
Gearbox took half hour, much easier and the car fees much more solid, will...
Can accelerate through the corners so much earlier, making the drive a bit more exciting 😂
Booking up a track day soon so I’ll be able to try it properly
Didn’t manage to get any pictures of them being put on .. but finally got some braided brake lines (in red of course) and some new fluid thanks to Alex @ AW Motorworks!
so the brakes now feel amazing with the ds3000’s.
also visited @Gus the other day who kindly gave me a new torque mount...
Had this pig of a job to do today, the ABS sensor had rusted and corroded away, so I’ve had a horrible squeal for ages, v embarrassing especially as I went to a packed car show yesterday 😂
Old one took some work to get off but once it started moving it was alright
the new one was a bit iffy to...
New parts day .. always a good day
Pads discs braided lines and fluid to get the braking to where it should be .. looking forward to getting these on!
Ds3000 pads, brembo HC discs, goodbridge lines and new fluids
Got back from Alex @ AW Motorworks not long ago .. a very expensive but good visit!
Had the gearbox rebuilt with new 3rd-6th syncro's, new 3rd and 4th hub, bearings and a Blackline LSD also fitted along with an OEM clutch kit.
Car feels fantastic, gearbox is super smooth and ready for some...
On the plus side .. its 99% spotless .. on the down side .. i need a gearbox re-build. third gears crunching at high rev's which makes me not want to drive the car now
Bit more cleaning today. Dug the machine polisher out and finished off the boot and rear bumper, just gotta do the rest of the car now!
Buying some carbon spoiler end plates this week as well which will be a nice touch.
Today was day three of cleaning, a whole bottle of iron out remover and a lot of t cut later I’m getting somewhere. Still lots of small tar marks that i need to get out, and some scratches on the sills. Look 100x times better now!
Managed to remove a lot of the over spray from the bumper so...
So i got my hands on a 197 cup the other day having been out of renault ownerhip for a couple of years, i thought id get back into it.
Got the car with all the vital partsd done, fresh belts, fluids, you name it .. so im super happy with that
Decided to post here and share, as well as being...
They mapped and built my engine, same level 2 one as you're looking at.
