things then took a turn for the worst and i lost my job but managed to get work at another body shop. on my first day there on the way home i spun out on an island and caught the rear wheel on the kirb resulting in the wheen being knackard, stub axel being bent, passinger seat airbag being...

i then set about getting the scatches sorted on it to tidy it up a bit. this is just one of the many scratches that it had. a few wher too deep to flat out and would need to be painted but that would come later

ive had the car for about a yeah and a half now and ive done a few bits to it so i thought it was about time i did a project thread. when i bought the car, i had no intention of doing anything to it bar tidying up a few scuffs and scratches. that was untill i joined this place so i hold you lot...

look good mate. i wouldnt bother with the laquer. just keep an eye on them and give them a fresh coat of satin every now and then.

+1 mine too. its always done it

^ wwwhhhhaaaattttttt. think ill go to a renault scrappy and get one there lol.

i agree with most of that but when it come to paint you get what you pay for. if the paint is s**t then it will look nice for 12 months then it will fade and lose its depth, if you use cheap laquer then there is the chance of it just flakeing off (i had to do donnys whole front end because of...

i think people are being a little harsh towards you mate. we have all creept into our mates houses when we shouldnt have been there and if you knew what was going to happen as a result of you being there, im sure you wouldnt have gone at all. and as for driving irratically because you where...

i dont think that is a bad time though mate. i ran a 15.8 at avon park (although i did need a few bits seeing to).

i would get well travel sick if i was a co driver. imagine being thrown around like that at that speed and not being able to look up to see where you are going because you are reading lol. umumuumbbbllllaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr (splat)

these are slowly growing on me now, think they look really nice in white

i like that alot mate

nice!

look mint bud. love these in black

nice tidy car mate

looks good mate (but i would say that as ive got one on mine). they are a bit of a marmite thing. people either love them or hate them.

look mint mate

good progress mate.

does it make a creeking noise when you turn? mine did this and it turned out that the steering rack was loose from when i had a new ps pipe fitted and they hadnt tightened it back up properly. might be worth a look.

what is it that you want to smooth mate? is it the rear bumper or the rear bumper into the rear quater? some stuff that you will need are thing like plastic filler/ normal filler/ stopper. plastic parts primmer, two pack primer, base coat, laquer, spray guns, compressor, sanding blocks, d/a...

i went to avon park a few weeks ago and held the revs at 4000. then when the lights changed i let off the clutch and the wheels just span up stait away and i bounced off the limiter before i had even moved so i tryed 3000 - 3500 next time and that seemed to be ok. great fun though, i cant wait...

he has just told me that the ecu is not connected to the plug to get it on a diagnostics computer lol. so if it is limp mode then he has got a bit of work to do before he can get it sorted haha.

he did havto do the loom himself so that is a good possibility

isnt there a vee with a merc superchared lump in it. bet that would be able to shift.

yeah i think he has. it would fly if it went above 4100 revs haha. at the moment our mate 1.4 keeps up with him because he has to change gear before he gets any real power lol

done it now mate. just needed to get into the right posision to get the leverage i needed but couldnt do it whislt it was on a trolly jack

de-cat de-cat de-cat de-cat de-cat de-cat

ill defo be in touch then mate lol

i havent but i think he said that he has but they arnt really being very helpfull

i know this isnt a clio but as you are all such a bunch of knowledgable experts i thought id try my luck. my mate has done an engine swap from a 1.4 turbo punto gt engine to a 16v 2.0 coupe turbo engine. hes got it all in and it drive fine but it is limiting at 4100 revs. he has tryed swapping...
