As demanded we've got a second Surrey Rolling Road day! I have confirmed with Charlie the date of Saturday 21st October with the price £35 per car. This is likely to be the last time we get this price as Charlie is only doing £35 because we're loyal customers!
Venue: Surrey Rolling Road...
Progress so far on my Megane, didn't realise the door had so many dents lol. I'll hopefully get it back on Tuesday or Wednesday. Looking forward to finally having perfect mechanicals and bodywork :grinning:
Glen spent a ridiculous amount of money on this to just sell after less than a year. I'm glad it's had a new lease of life though as it wouldn't have if I'd kept it.
Was the radiator being held on my cable ties and what I think was the clutch return spring attached to the fan housing ever...
I have spoken with Charlie at SRR and next available dates for a rolling road day are either on Saturday 7th or 21st of October.
Could you select which days you can do by voting on the poll please?
I'm leaving the poll open for three days and please only vote if you will definitely attend...
Original parts are:
Body shell
Doors
Boot lid
Bonnet
Engine block and crank
Gearbox casing
Paint on the roof
Makes @Nickson's Megane look factory original 😂
Update...
Went on track at Origine RS at Goodwood last August
Ripped all the teeth off 5th gear so needed a third gearbox rebuild
Hit a pigeon and bumper broke where it had previously been damaged by cones at Castle Combe
Reversed into a post and damaged the rear bumper
Buy front and rear...
I've messaged Surrey Rolling Road to see what dates they have in September or October. I'll start a new thread once I have them.
I want to see what the M2 or Fabia does :tonguewink:
Yes, if we can get 10 to 15 people to run then I can organise another day. I've not run my Megane for ages so I'm interested in seeing what it's making.
@SharkyUK I know someone who has all the skills needed to finish your car off. He would easily be able to finish it and is the only person I trust to work on my Megane now.
I know you would like Mike to finish it but that doesn't sound realistic to me now he's a full time train driver.
I don't think the V6 will drop in value so your money would be quite safe if you buy the right car. Not sure if Duncan (admin on V6Clio.net) @ddouble still logs on to CS but he is man to talk to if you're looking for one.
Looking for opinions on how much my R26 is worth with the spec below. Car is now on 120k miles and front bumper is stone chipped so could do with a respray. Engine is in great condition and uses no oil between 6k mile oil changes.
Spec update
Engine (original engine rebuilt by RS Tuning in...
You would be surprised.
The pistons in my original engine had ringlands with big chunks missing and only sign of any problem was it used oil.
The only reason I rebuilt the engine was because the gearbox went otherwise I would have continued to just top the oil up 😂
