literally the only thing we want poverty spec models for are the window trims which although commanding a premium not quite at a grand a side yet, flol!

great work, just read beginning to end! can't believe the amount of corrosion for a 47k car though! there is less on my 218k one! caught it just in time though to prevent need for major cut out repairs so good stuff and lick of paint and she'll look a treat!

When you buffing mine @Dr Jekyll

Cute mileage 😘

If you were a girl I would bang so hard. So little taste, so zero f***s given it's intoxicating

Flol, pic 4 of mine you can see the big stretch shadow :ROFLMAO:

Popped to see @Dr Jekyll to pick up some wheels for the track car and after so many years of forum banter and chatting finally met Mark. Top bloke, top car (frustratingly clean compared to mine) and great to actually put a real life face to a name. Few snaps as rude not to let the RB's say hi...

I'm refusing to acknowledge that area, think rear end of mine is about 2 winters away from dropping off probably, flol!

Ah okay I stand corrected then!

Suspect b****cks and same mould as for the 182 ones, why go to the effort. Or maybe it's even bigger for wacecar exhausts 🧐

Supers 4.9kg 1.2's 6.2kg Good progress and the carbon trim is for a 182 really so made to fit standard 182 cut outs ;-)

As above, mistake or the cars been wrapped/painted

If it seizes it could take the aux belt with it and that means possible chew into cambelt and many bent valves. So yeah it's a risk running the engine with any untoward noises coming from the belts area

@Jason_E My RB is about to hit mileage requirement for cambelt over time and has done more miles than your Jag swaps? ;)

as above, welcome, the bonnet is phase 1 specific but not sport/V specific so any old phase 1 bonnet will fit like the idea of an odyssey almost phase 1 Vee but would avoid the gold highlights.....to wannabee Williams almost and you'll get that the entire time. Go dark blue and keep the current...

mine has exactly that same rust and that's caused by a rear end shunt pushing up the bumper mounts. the bumper then rubs when driving on the arch and wears the paint away. before you know it hey presto a rusty arch in that spot. stone chips on the leading edge of the arch lead to rust there...

Cracking work and without saying hate to say told you so but us seasoned Renault pro's, particularly with the f4r lumps in the mk2 sports, always say buy genuine everything for a reason. Particularly on anything at all to do with the engines! Easy to see why so many cars have left the roads too...

Sure is, as mine actually really really genuinely does get used properly, unlike part timer OP :p 😘

just caught up, been a few trials and tribulations haven't there! glad she's still going though :) what a crock of s**t though this is, yours is on baby mileage and does naff all a year anyway.......sort it out ;-) cough.....217k........cough.....used waaaaay more.....cough cough.....does...

I personally would only every buy genuine for as long as possible for engine rotational assembly components. once you are 6/7/800 quid in why risk another 100 for a cheaper alternative? apart from that, loving your work and dedication, I recently had the lot done on my little blue heap, full...

don't get me wrong, boosting a little Clio is a proper giggle and an absolute riot on the road, but hammering round track in one inevitably ends in something breaking or even just temps stopping a long session. I intend to boost one of mine again eventually, but it won't be a primarily track...

That mk1 looked lovely, such a shame

Tend to run into issues more readily too with heat management etc, particularly on track. I used to run a boosted track car, i don't anymore as issues kept ruining my days. I added more handling orientated mods and lightness instead and since that never had engine issues again

Fuel lines on right way?

Welcome. Belts are a bit of a pig of a job and you ideally need to understand floating pullies and how tension affects timing on a none symmetrical belt

@Dr Jekyll much much better :cool:

As above really, pretty in depth customer service task breaking a car and selling bits. If you just want it gone 99p no reserve and make sure you reiterate several times it needs to be towed away

great thread, love the approach to, clean and sort stuff but leave functional so first time it rains you won't decide to not use the car.

Lovely....but get them wheels cleaned ;)

for the earth straps, clean up the bolts and the bolt holes too not just the straps and mating faces. I fell foul of that, fixed starting issues for a couple of says then came back and it was due to the bolts themselves doing a lot of the contact for a good earth
