whaaaaaat, your going to build this up knowing every man and his dog will want a passenger ride, then in a cruel game of 'fcuk you fcukers' only put one seat in it?
Glad you're not though mate, see too many track car projects get cancelled and owners chuck the towel in when complex wiring and digital dashboards are involved. They seem a f**k load of hassle for next to nothing to me but fair play going for it and even fairer play seeing it through!
I just scraped it all off with a Costa Coffee card then chucked it in the sink with the pots when I did them and used the scouring sponge to get rest off. Initial bit with the Costa card had to be pretty brutal as the backing was stuck fast
Another minor update, car keeps on trucking
had abs issue that was combination of SAS and ABS plug to rear sensor, so after lots of mucking about sorted that
completed another winter so will back on summer wheels soon
rust has got worse, will update with pics this week, might even wash...
Prepping for MOT tomorrow and more old phase 1 gremlins rear their head, nothing major other than rarity and as such, cost....... sigh
luckily had a spare in shed from the breaker.... But now I'm worried that's just going to snap now too. Boo hiss. I'm going to look into replacing the rubber on...
definitely best approach mate as discussed, risk of loosing faith and burning out with the hours you were putting in on the car
come back fresh later in the year :)
Nice simple little job ticked off the list, sun visors removed, took old stickers off and cleaned them up.
Then refitted a new sticker kit from Renault.
I'm really enjoying having the car at the point where I can just tinker with these little fun jobs and enjoy the thing.
Cheers

f***s wrong with you, they're bloody gorgeous!
Annoying me, I use all the really messy back roads and everything. All I can think is the couple of layers of decent ish wax I put on back end of last summer are just working really well...
No matter how hard I try I just can't get that filthy..... Ahem
Not touched the outside since I think it was October last year and done normal 1000 ish miles a month, so 4k since last wash.... Maybe RB just doesn't show it. Getting a nice seeping effect from the salt now though, lovely!
sorry, the Ken Block thing isn't actually a video, I mean more the design of the thing is very Instagram cuz motorsport ready, rather than a simple clean design to a do a job. It's shouty, trying to says it's motorsport....but really is it? and as Kev mentions, essentially no it's not as it does...
You only get the upright for 300 and it looks like a child designed after watching a Ken block video imo
Can't imagine without the full bushing and linkage arm etc you'll get the same precise feel of the pms and the cable reverse lift design is just cheap and sloppy imo
Run mine 8 years daily now, recaros on Jon Foz frames help driving position. Cruise and climate make it totally fine day to day and it's great fun to smash about the back roads and doesn't behave too badly on motorway cruises either.
just thoroughly check it over for oil leaks, clutch slip, any nasty gearbox noises etc etc and if service history stacks up and looks well loved do a buy.
definitely condition over miles. Mines on 222k now and drives lovely still as I look after it.
