Well you clearly enjoyed your time with the car. Which is always the main thing with any car.
I myself wouldn't have enjoyed a minute of it. 1.1 to a 1.3 sounds a lot of work for little gain.
1.1 to an SR20DET sounds worthwhile!
Very nice. Hoping mine will look as good as this. Did mine all silver too and looks poo.
Like the darker inlet and fuel guard! Nice work.
I have bought a heat resistant lead grey enamel paint to use once I get time.
Seems like there's a good few up for this now. Should be a good day out!
I'm up for driving a good distance. I'm sure most will be too. If some want to drop out then it's up to them.
In my eyes these road trips don't appear too often so while everyone's out it'd be good to make the most of it.
Cool, I'd love to go to the ring.
Was talking to a guy that works in top spec garage and he said him and a few mates going end of April.
Guessing your one of his mates [emoji14]
Loving the F1s on the car! The wife doesn't like them , says they look tiny [emoji5]
I love them though, look tougher and meatier than standard.
Makes the car look a little less girly too, more purposeful and aggressive!
[emoji106]
Yeah. [emoji17] Such a great car to drive in anger!
Something more practical now. Around 12~14k. Audi S3, mk5 Golf R32, leon cupra K1. wife doesn't like the megane RS [emoji53]
That sounds like a plan Andy. Hope it works out and you don't have to resort to a tattier clio.
I love my Clio, wife likes the colour.... that's it! Lol.
Our Honda going on Thursday. Gutted, its superb to drive. .... love it.
I know [emoji17]
I'm ashamed of myself. Lol
Intended on going up last year but never got round to it.
To be honest I never go out "for a drive".... I usually incorporate a nice drive on my way to/ from somewhere.... Add a good road onto a journey as a detour.
I'd like to go out, purely for...
Awesome shots! Really nice pics of a really nice car. [emoji106]
I want another MCS badly [emoji17]
Interesting comparison shots too. The minis are a real hard and flat ride.
Cheers mate. They do look great. [emoji5]
Were a pain to get though! The wheels came with 3 original caps.
Had the badges shipped from Portugal, then tried 3 different universal type center caps, all failed miserably, no where near a correct fit
Ended up getting 1 more original to make up...
Try just giving them a polish, may come up again without totally 're doing them.
I have though of a snappy wheel a lot. Love the look of them... it's the size I hate though. Like a bus!
Wonder if he does a shrinking service too? [emoji14]
Thanks buddy. [emoji106]
Thanks for tips!
Yeah, I want to paint all my exterior plastics satin black to freshen them up, the calipers, few interior bits, some engine parts and 're paint the inlet manifold.... looks awful in the bright silver!
Would like to change seats, steering wheel and...
Thanks mate [emoji3] Nothing too exciting in my thread.[emoji5] Will be doing a few more bits soon though to tidy it more. Would love to change the steering wheel, seats and gear shifter. [emoji106]
They came out ok and to be fair have remained good. Been around a year and 22k miles, still...
Cheers for the tips.
Need to 're do my front badge. Has 2 or 3 chips now, partly due to it not lacquered.
Few other bits I can do too. Will be quicker using your method.
Paint brake calipers is first on list though. Have a tin and fine brushes ready to go.
