I mainly use Mitchell’s Renault in Great Yarmouth after hours where as @182_steve mainly uses Mitchell’s Renault in Lowestoft.
I have two medium size bands twisted to make 4 wraps...
It does appear to work, only giving the odd rattle under hard acceleration. It was very good an it even has the emissions as good as a 1.0 corsa :wink:
So found out my mot had run out on the 6th, so this morning was spent frantically ringing round garages trying to get it in.
Luckily I have a mate who works at a Renault main dealer who got me in and it just so happens @182_steve car is in there also getting his gearbox done.
The tester said...
Great progress keep up the good work, as for top mounts I recently went with the pms mounts and brace. Car feels so direct with them on now coupled with the 330mm wheel feels awesome to drive.
Small update...
When we did the rear spacers Tuesday I noticed that the middle exhaust hanger had failed an was looking past it’s best. Popped to local dealer and ordered a new one as well as a new gear gaitor as I wanted to carry out the @182_steve PMS mod.
The old failed hanger...

Personally prefer how it feels to drive on the 15s...
I use the ED 5 puc paddle clutch in my low boost Monaco and it’s been no drama, it’s not a daily either. It can feel a little on/off/juddery in slow moving stop/start traffic but again it’s fine imo.
Hold on to them! They’re hard to get hold of in a emergency! Lol
So my £17 panic buy washer turned up today, got to say that the finished quality of the product leaves a little to be desired but owell least I have a new and a used spare now.
In other news I’ve ordered the red centre exhaust...
3 days fook that, good job I got a mechy with a 2 post ramp and lots of ugger duger guns Haha
Lucky I had a mate local who had a couple of spacer washers laying about to get me out of a jam also.
Went out today to do a bit of photo whoring...
What a night last night trying to get the stub axel spacers fitted, everything was going so well until 1 loud bang changed the course of the whole night...
As usual rocked up to my local dealship after hours...With the usual car part fitting tea...
After the pizza was smashed in the fitting...
Mornings all...
I recently had a new 110 alternator fitted as mine let but since I run turbo ac in my car is completely irrelevant. It’s fully charged but doesn’t blow that cold I assume this is do to the turbo near pipes etc
If I run a cup set up/pms delete kit would I be able to retain my new...
I would if they were all the same size... lol
Had a big sort out of the garage this morning to accommodate the wheels and ended up with them cleaned and stacked neatly in the corner. They’ll probably stay this way until I can get the tyres swapped from 172s to Turinis and the OZ sold even...
So this happened... Another set of wheels purchased, thanks to @Burgh for a bargain price!
Et38.5 no kerb rash buckle bend or cracks, fitted with Toyo T1Rs two of which require changing. Going to take the new RainSports off the 172s and put them on the Turinis then use them as winter wheels to...
