I just bought some M8 and M6 Countersunk 8.8 Tensile bolts from eBay again.

Thank you sir 👍 It’s Augoglym Black dye spray: https://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/product/autoglym-black-dye-450ml-spray/

I just bought a used set off a guy off here. They're only a piece of 10mm thick aluminium with 5 holes drilled thru, so nothing too technical.

In preparation for the wheels coming back from refurbishment, I fitted a pair of 10mm spacers to the rear axle for that arch filling goodness..

Phoned up my local Renault parts guy: "Hello Paul, can you still get hold of the original 205110 paint for the wheels on my Clio 182 Cup?" "Yeah sure, I'll order you a tin" 🤦‍♂️:poop: Bugger! So I've dropped off the wheels with a local refurbishment place, and they're now going to colour...

Only if you’ve got a press at home, or one of those threaded bar tools. They won’t tap in with a hammer

They won’t. You’ve got to press the buggers in.

@DomP182 ask, and ye shall receive:

Wow!! I’ve got the stuff to do mine myself... but can’t bring myself to do them, I’m not really a painting pro, and know that they really need 2K everything to withstand the road and fitter abuse... and I don’t have the necessary respirators.. etc.

Where did you get your 182 wheels refurbed @mossyv6 ??

With the Willy wheels off the Raider... I wonder..? 🤔🤔 😆

No it was just a cheap roll from eBay. Didn’t pay any more for the same stuff with a brand name.. I’ve got enough left for another pair of you want it for a couple of quid..?

To have a break from the Clio today, I pulled my 5GT Turbo Raider out of the garage and let it idle for a good while to fully heat up: I was pleased that even though it had been covered in all sorts of crap, it hadn't picked up any damage. I then decided I wanted to re-fit the original Raider...

Managed to rope in my dear wife for an hours "Covid-19 Car Crafting" ;) one evening this week to get the Fog Lights covered in Yellow Vinyl: Chuffed with the final result, and how they look in the finished bumper: I know they might not be to everyone's taste, but I love the nod it gives to the...

Good old Olive, I knew she’d order the right ones. 👍

Yes, but I didn’t want to get into the thread pitch discussion. If he just buys some M8 Bolts off eBay, they will fit. #lankyfleabag

Wounded.... 😞😢

No, mine was in good order so left it well alone. As long as there’s some padding there, you should be ok.

A beautiful sunny day fiddling with the front of the car today. 🌞 New grille prepped for fitting, need to drill the hole for the bonnet switch as they don’t come pre-drilled. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Old one was looking very sorry for itself, and had a few knocks: Next I dismantled everything from the front...

Yes, standard M8

I’ve got a Clip system coming in the post, so will be prepared for all the 💩 it wants to throw up at me also!! 👌🏻😁

It’s no bother sir.. just try to make sure you’re dropping the tank when it’s low on fuel, no fun trying to do it when it’s got a full tank of Fuel. Wrestle off one of the the one-time jubilee clips that are holding the filler feed and to the tank. Once you get it off, disconnect it and then...

You know I think you’re right sir!!! In that case, it was an informed bet!! 😋

Wow it was a lucky punt then!! 😂😂

Oh wow was it @Coops Mk1 ?? Old Gay-Tec got Janspeed to make them did they..?? I’ve never had an exhaust fit so well..? Thanks very much sir!! There was a sign of relief when it spluttered into life!! Now to figure out getting it mapped by the old Scoff-meister!!

Well that didn’t take a lot of work... Removed the passenger side headlight, pulled the 4 small relays out and checked the connections all looked clean.. and then put them back in, and it bloody started first time!! 🙄 So now the engine’s running, I had a very successful evening bleeding the...

The rust converter I’ve got wants some light surface rust there to key to, it’s works better that way rather than wire wheeling all the old Rust off. Either way, as long as it’s getting looked after, it’s better than leaving it!! 👍

I scraped all round the area until I got to solid non rusty metal, then coated it with my chosen rust converter, then zinc primer, then underseal 👍

Amazing cars @frayz and fabulous attention to detail!! 👌

funnily enough, that’s the one I feel most confident IS working.. before I connected the fuel line to the rail I checked the fuel was coming from the tank on a crank and put the pipe into a little pot... sure enough the fuel came thru.. However who’s to say the Injectors are working ..?
