Honestly. Probably not by a great deal if at all. However it’s my interpretation of what I want from a road going focused road car. See the mods on the car as I’m sure you can see are all changes that can be enjoyed at all speeds. They’re all designed enhance everything we already love about...

Oh wow, I’d forgotten you were there that day too Rob. And there are those fabled RX8s. @Greeny and I were talking about this just the other day. Those fellas made me open the bonnet to prove the car was stock 🤣

Haha. Well Dan you can at least see where this thread started and you’re probably the only person here that witnessed it as a totally standard car on track too. 😂

Lol 😅 I should also add that the addition of the Recaros means the rear seats are just for decoration now as you cannot get anyone In there now. Nobody else ever rides in my car so this isn’t an issue for me. But there aren’t any tilting seats i like anyway.

Okay so keeping this thread up to date, my “road car” now has the following parts. Inferno Clio 182 FF & Cup Packs Engine: ITG Maxogen air intake BTM/Yozzasport cat back exhaust PMS cat derestriction PhilM exhaust mounts /stainless mount bracket holders. Transmission: Quaife ATB diff PMS...

Perfect. Did you find one tin of Dinitrol was enough to do the whole underside?

Pukka as usual chap. 👌🏼

Beautiful underseal job Steve. How far did you go at the front of the car? Where did you mask it to?

Just because I had to pop to the supermarket today, and this thing always looks bonkers in the sunshine. 😎

Well it was even, but evenly miles out haha. Where the track rod extenders drop the TCAs down, they pull the arms of the hubs in and effectively toe the car out massively. I did the camber with a spirit level clamped to the disc and got it to within half a degree of eachother. Still crap, but...

Where did you manage to source those Dan?

Titanium has pretty low rate of thermal conductivity. Widely used in shims to back brake pads and reduce heat transfer to the pistons and thus the Caliper body and fluid. I run titanium shims on my Cayman R as it’s quite popular with the Porsche guys who track their cars. Personally if you’ve...

Im sure with a little love it will come up lovely mate. We all have a little extra time on our hands right now. Get yourself a polished and some Sonax. 🙂

Lmao, what you want your car a silly orange colour Zach? 😅 Sort me a solid UJ and I’ll see what I can do. 😂👌🏼

Coolant bottle finally turned up so fitted that, filled and bled the system with new Renault type D coolant. New TCAs assembled and fitted. All hub hardware checked, double checked and marked before running it down the road to my local tyre shop to get the geometry setup. The short very slow...

Project lockdown continued today with the arrival of a new PAS switch to try and cure my PAS leak. Still no coolant bottle arrival so that will have to wait. Anyway, I fitted the new PAS switch which hopefully does the trick. Also decided to bite the bullet and crack on with the roll centre...

Lmao, you keep telling her that. 😂

Lots of nice bits here Adrian, nothing changes eh. Will be quite a weapon once complete and no doubt built to your usual high standards. 👍🏼

it’s water based so not hardy if it gets wet until it’ had time to dry. But after lots of applications the plastic seems to absorb the product and it lasts longer and longer. its a long way from any coating, but it’s a very versatile product that finishes well

Just a shame Spray Shack no longer exists to my knowledge.

Dynax UC is transparent but not as hardy as UB.

Ah they’re just wearing a 1:5 mix of CarPro Perl

Lock In day 437 and reason 56732 why the neighbours think I’m mental. First job was to bleed the brakes after the lose swap yesterday. So that was just a top up of Motul RBF600 as I had flushed and replaced the fluid over the new year. Then I dropped the front off WZD to swap the rad. The new...

Lovely. They look almost black in those photos.

Also available from Universal Seatbelts. Just buy a cable mounted buckle. Then they will fit properly and won’t flap about.

Lemforder and Meyle HD are probably the best “pattern parts” you’ll buy Darren. 🙂👍🏼

Unfortunately not very thanks anyway mate. I want to try and replicate the OEM silver or have a nice bright silver as I think that will look best.

Lovely job on that scuttle dude. Looks almost familiar. 😅👌🏼

Shame they can’t get an exact match for the OEM colour in hydro dip. Really struggling to get some paint to do them at the moment.

Nice, what were your favourites in terms of looks and quality?
