Good day!

I was invited to the NEC Classic Car Show by the Renault Owners Club, so off we went. I did take the black plates off to put the standard ones back on just for @andybond but the front one has vanished out of the boot :( so the black ones went back on. Happy to report that after 3 days of being...

You WONT get in, you do get turned away, unfortunately. They have expanded parking capacity twice since opening and it's now maxed out the land they have, but it still gets full.

Would you believe a New-old-stock one of these popped up on a R9/11 Facebook page. I basically jumped down the guys throat (digitally), sent €100 to a total stranger and low and behold...it shows up at my door as promised. Also bagged a NOS numberplate light from italian eBay, on the hunt...

I have confirmed now with C&M that no more pre-bought tickets will be released for the date. As it stands you can show up on the gate for a drive-in, but obviously this is only until it's full and then non-ticketed arrivals will be turned away.

I got a reserved Renault space, I have passed my bought ticket along to a 21 Turbo mate. I've asked C&M if any more pre-booked spaces are coming up on Eventbrite. Will clarify nearer the time if there are any drive-in slots on the day. If not, like the Jap night tonight, they are specifying...

I was having a load of stuff blasted and coated for the 21 so i hoofed a few bits in for the 9 too, primed them up on Sunday. Fuel pump/filter bracket, towing eyes, stuff like that. Pretty sure I took the wheel cage up there too, didnt realise till now I didnt get it back so will have to chase...

Yes and no, this isn't even my primary project (see the 21 thread), this is to fill in the gaps when i'm waiting for stuff for the 21, or have run out of money lol You need to clean it up first, get in there with a wire wheel on a grinder. Once all the loose shite is gone, treat with Hydrate...

Long way to go yet, rest of the brakes to refurb, defo needs a clutch and may as well rebuild the lump when I get it out as I have the majority of parts for it already.

I havent forgotten about the old 9, however I have procrastinated on the brakes since stripping the compensator, in the hope I would stumble across a solution. The diamond gods are being kind to me. Brand new old stock OE compensator popped up on one of the R9/11 facebook pages yesterday, I was...

I ripped the roof off my Renault 21

Yes, but not in the usual sense. It's fast but not ballistic, it handles well but it's not as good as a 1*2, it's the sense of occasion and the noise that makes it an event. It gets quite a lot of attention everywhere it goes.

Coventry.

I have, it still catches as it open, sort of about a third of the way open.

Don't leave it that long, you will risk a more serious failure. I 'extended' the life of mine a bit by missing 3rd all together on most driving, you can go 1-2-4 without much of a problem on normal driving with the ratio's being so close. Got me the few months I needed till I ripped it all out...

I think parts wise when I did my own it was around £350, so that plus a days labour, and make sure wherever you go has the proper F4R locking tool set.

Took it on a hillclimb, and it was FABULOUS.

Come try mine if you're anywhere near the midlands, for a net cost of under £900 its phenomenal. Why not try yourself anyway? Its just a big 3D jigsaw puzzle :)

Sounds like you need a new battery and then check the alternator is charging properly.

Looks really good, I think it just about carries off the carbon bonnet. Do me a favour would you, where you posted the link earlier to where the Trophy boot spoiler came from, i'd be interested in buying one if you can verify the fit is good. I have a replica one on mine, but if you look along...
