I was sat at the mcdonalds meeting spot at 8am contemplating hanging around till 11 to see if anyone turned up but in the end got bored and went home.
I pretty much know the route off by heart now but would only want to lead a small group as i'm not keen on big groups of cars it draws to much...
It coped well considering. It'll be a lot better with its fresh engine mounts and disks and pads all round. I managed to snap an exhaust hanger while out so that was making the exhaust knock like crazy.
I'm gaining a lot more confidence in it now which is always a good thing.
After settin off at about 8pm last night i got down to the evo triangle by about 9ish so had a couple of blasts round it then had a kip till 5.30am when it started getting light. I didn't have too much hassle other than being chased down the a5 to bewts y coed by what turned out to be a police...
People don't sshow up in my contact list at all so i have no way of talking to them. i'm having to use messenger.net which is so basic. Whats the point of doing upgrades if they don't even work?
Windows came up with a prompt saying there is a new version of msn available so i updated to it. Now i can't see any of my contacts to talk to them and they can't see me. i've resorted to using the standard msn that was available in the 1800's. how do i get it to work? I've sent invations out to...
Sportlines handle amazing on standard dampers but i wouldn't say the car will look low on them. Mines stripped out and on sportlines and it looks higher than standard
A bit of background history of the Car first.
The car is a high mileage ph1 172 its on 112k now but has a great service history so the mileage did not put me off. It had Full renault dealer history upto 94k with all the belts done etc etc it also came with a pile of reciepts for general bits...
Change engine mounts, koni dampers,eibach springs, brembo hc discs, ferrodo ds2500 pads and braided hoses. You should be able to do all that for 1k i'd of thought and it would accelerate, handle and stop well then.
Saying that though i fitted a bucket seat and harness and the car feels so much...
they are nice and easy to fit it'll take two minutes. I'm not in a rush for it back mate just keep hold of it till it passes the mot. i'll pm you my mobile number just ring me tommorow and we can sort it out for you.
Buy one for a grand and then spend a grand on it in new parts and you have a far better car than a 2k car in the first place as everything will be new.
New engine mounts and driveshafts-£500
new suspension oem-£200
cambelt and aux-£300
for a little extra you could do a full service.
If...
Same mileage as rexe's above mate. Mine was 1400 its on 111k it had full renault service history upto 94k then reciepts for service after that. also included were loads of other reciepts for tires, exhausts and other random bits. both mine and rexe are black too
My old clio entered the motorway backwards and hit the central reservation. No other cars where involved. The only injuries occured when the driver seat airbag went off and cracked my rib. The clio is sadly no longer with me.
The best thing is coz i wrote my other off i have basically a full car's worth of spares for it if something does go wrong :) the other was all body damage nothing mechanical was damaged :)
