What's the best price on the Bilsteins nowadays?

@imprezaworks yeah in need of Cooksports or Gaz coilies I'm thinking :smile: The Eibach's and OEM Renault Cup shocks are great handling wise, but, it needs to drop down at the rear I think, it would change the look and hopefully the handling of the car. the rear end can sometimes be a bit light...

OMP discs and Brembo front pads installed, front calipers painted silver - still need to paint the rears though :/

I love the mk1's and really miss mine :( Good work though, well done - are you going to paint the car eventually?

A slightly better pic of the car with the new wheels after a quick wash today. Its hard to get the wheels in the right light without adjusting the image too much with them being so dark, it doesn't catch the flawless finish enough! I really do need to get that back end down though...

Beautiful combo with the blue paintwork and white wheels :stig: May have to try the Yoko's at some point in the future, heard some good reviews on them.

Yep, sure was, and glad I got the track rod ends done on both sides, the car certainly feels a little more precise after having it all tracked up again :)

I forgot to mention, MOT time yesterday. It failed first time around :( Only on a front NS track rod end though. I had both the NS and OS replaced, then it sailed through with no other advisories, so all good until August 2017 now :) I've also managed to pick up an unsilenced supersport center...

Nice update Mark, I like the work with the brake ducting in the fog housing, very functional but looks great too :) Can't wait to see the wheels on the car!

Thanks Steve, yes, I've bought some silver caliper paint, along with some new Brembo front pads and OMP front discs. I replaced the rear discs, bearings and pads a couple of months ago with Brembo items, so they're holding up pretty well so far, just the calipers to paint on the rears. The...

Quick pic of the PIAA horns installed yesterday:

Come to think of it, I've used this MOT place for a while and he's pretty friendly. I'll take the old plate with me in the boot just in case!

Thanks Mark, yeah, the Heko's didn't suit it at all, it was a bit of an impulse buy, they're sold now anyway. The plate looks better too, but that just reminded me - I need to take it off for the MOT on Wednesday. Really need to paint the calipers too as they look awful under the new wheels...

Quick update, I really felt that the Turini's on the car let it down, so I was contemplating getting them refurbed, but I saw a mint set of Turini's come up in the classified's last week from @Dr Jekyll - Top bloke BTW :) They're finished in a metallic anthracite colour and look almost new with...

Yeah it looks nice, easy to do if you've got a Dremel or similar with polishing attachment

Looks sharp that Steve, maybe bit of autosol on the ignition barrel too? :smile:

Steve, do you have the part numbers for the Renault boot badges by any chance? I need the Renault one, but may replace all 3 if I can avoid paying dealer prices :)

Flip Pearl Twelve Tone Black??

I'll be heading over from Halifax, glad to meet up and convoy with you guys if we can sort a time and place?

Lusty bad man where are you now?

The car looks HOT Steve, nice, really nice :smile: Subscibed!

Yes, I'll follow your thread buddy to see how it goes :) Re. the footrest, no, its an aftermarket piece, it was the closest part I could find to match the OEM pedals. I think from memory if just fits over the top of the plastic OEM cover. Remove the existing hex screw, place the new alloy...

LOL

Hope all goes well for the install Steve, let us know how you get on, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it once you have the car back. And places you trust with your car are few and far between, so good to know and keep using places like that :up:

Thanks Steve, it is rewarding doing it yourself, and helps me at least understand a bit more about how these cars are put together. Lots of colourful language mind :rage: and obviously your own time, but I got to clean dusty bits of the dash and air vents which would've been hard to clean...

Lol both of you :smile: I will probably take off the yellow wee wee fogs and the fuel cap at some point, I was just messing with bits that 'stuck on' haha. I think I'm following my 'JDM street' past, which this is obviously not. I'll maybe get it back to stock, as I think that's where the...

Yes, we should sort some sort of convoy out if there isn't one already? When is the cut of for buying tickets?

Thanks Chris :smile: A few pics of bits and bats, new tweeters: I had to trim the original tweeter mounts in order to get the Alpine's in nice and snug so they sit just fine under the OEM speaker grilles. Door speakers: And all back together looking stock: Probably a little more time...

Might book this, what are the sat/sun events like? Need to find a tent! Anyone heading over from West Yorkshire??
