I've come across hundreds of open-ended threads on here, so a quick update to finish this off…..
We fitted everything last week, everything bar the inner anti-roll bar bushes. I also went for 4 new tyres.
What a transformation!! Previously, nothing specific was broken or worn to the point where...
Standard ARB bushes now ordered from Renault Wolverhampton :up:
Is it worth polybushing the steering rack then or going with standard? Everything i've bought bush wise has been OEM.
As well as buying all these new parts, i've ordered replacement bolts for most things so I can save time by just...
For anyone who maybe planning the same, I've just ordered.
Front shocks x2, rear shocks x2, strut top mounts & spacers x2, tie rods x2 ,wishbones x2, (Renault Wolverhampton) £396
Track rod ends x2 (Carparts4less) £29.76
Eibach Pro springs x4 (KamRacing) £171.70
I've also ordered the following...
Hi folks,
I've just ordered new wishbones amongst other things for my cup. Before I order new outer anti roll bar bushes, I just want to check in case they come with the wishbones?
Ouch!! Just went to order a Cat from Renault Wolverhampton........ £900 plus VAT??? Looks like i'll be going down the aftermarket route. With the VAT that's pretty much what I paid for the car....
I sold one of my mountain bikes yesterday and plan to use some of the money to give the Clio a new lease of life...
So, i'm planning to order the parts for the suspension, brake and steering refresh tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest.
On previous cars I've chased knocking and play around the car by...
By North East, I meant the north east of Scotland. Clioturbo are 150miles away but I guess the £85 saving (£135 with club discount) more than pays for the fuel to get there and back, just not sure what i'd do in Durham while I wait....;-)
£585? I thought that was reasonable, after a few searches on here I figured £700 was about the general specialist quote.
I'm usually located in the North East but currently in Dunfermline, Scotland.
Currently looking on Carparts4less.com and there are various shocks listed. Sachs, KYB and Bilstein. All are priced around £40 and have the same fitment. I had KYB on my Forster STI and they were fine. I have Billies on my TT QS but it's the all singing all dancing coilover kit, I've no...
Well I've been quoted £585 for the belts, waterpump and dephaser change. I've factored a total of £1500 into the total build. I need to get 2 tyres for that as well so i'm hoping to spend no more than about £600 on the suspension and steering work.
Hey folks,
I've just bought a 55k 03 172 Cup, one lady owner from new.
It was cheap for such a low mileage car but not without it's minor issues. First up, it's on the original timing belt, so being 12 years old I need to address that first. I've booked in into an independent who is familiar...
