Mileage is pretty good for a mk1, engines are usually pretty strong also so shouldn't be many issues there, engines are usually tappy Engines are no harder to work on than the mk2's and cambelts are a thousand times easier and a lot cheaper to do Parts are becoming hard to come by though

what would you be looking at using it for? Mk1's are super rusty and probably not a good choice for daily driving. 172 is alot more practical. mk1's are going up in price tho so could Be more of an investment and are cool AF

Imo factory with bolt on upgrades. Although id definitely remove the sunroof

this definitely looks like the way to go about restoring these! Can see exactly where needs replacing! look forward to seeing updates with this

anyone from down this way looking at heading to fcs on the Friday this year?

As if you need more :D

yard with a hyab or whatever its called always grabs my stuff. Usually collect in a 10 mile radius. Other option is chop it up and chuck it in a van

Some Vids I have of it :)

Yesterdays Turbine Polishing :smile:

Think its worth me making a progress thread for this as I will no doubt be adding and changing things over time :smile: I lost a lot of the original photos of when I had it so will kinda do it as a progress thread from now onwards but will chuck some old pics in as I find them :smile: So...

These mk1's are dreadful for rust and Renault don't stock any repair panels for the wide arch :( that's why you rarely see them around I guess

Was a bit crispy, all cut out and welded now though so is solid :)

😂 can never decline a hug!

haha, its taken far too much time/money for me to sell just yet lol Maybe when the williams is restored I may part with one lol Not really sure tbh, a lot go up on ebay for varied prices but you never know what they actually sell for

I also had it on Williams wheels for a bit if more to your taste

Made a better vid today, She has Started Backfiring effortlessly lately :smilingimp:

Made a quick vid of the yob exhaust also :)

4 years mate ☺ restored it from a worse state

She is utterly standard other than a silly exhaust, 30mm springs and polybushes ☺

Thank you ☺

Finally got around to polishing my turbines today seeing as I had the day off and the weather was pretty sweet :) The whole car needs a good clean next and is desperate for a good polish! :)

I never jack sills due to experience on mk1's. Always sub frame bolt at the front and beam mount for the rear ☺

il chuck a new one on then, is that for the belt or both the belt and tensioner? Thanks for your help :)

ok thanks all :) I may stick a new belt on in the next couple of weeks regardless

ok so it can be considered standard wear then for the ribs to start cracking then?

Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Wondering if this is a common fault Changed my aux belt Nov 2015 and done sub 15k miles. Its been slackened off once or twice due to cambelt being done etc Today whilst doing an oil change I took a quick look at it and have notice the ribs starting to crack on the belt Is this normal or...

if you have air in the abs pump like I did after it running dry, I found using an eezi bleed, aswel as using the foot pedal method whilst engine was running worked a treat. No need for an RS tuner then

Looking forward to seeing their conference at E3
