I probably wouldn't bother with it doing such low mileage, just visually check it for any problems or wear

Looks bang on does that

This isn't always the case, I've diagnosed and replaced injectors on these for people when the management light hasn't flashed. The injectors should test out at around 14.5ohms as they are what is known as 'high impedance'. I very much doubt this is the problem personally as the...

Looks amazing, I followed it on Eurosport but I will be doing my best to attend next year. Out of interest who and how to do you go about booking tickets and camping to this event?

Mine does this if you tap the thottle on over run when it's cold, as tomhunt85 said with regards the remap I've read and spoke to many owners that say that the RStuner software helps with cold run in the the fact it slightly raises cold idle iirc

Really looks great Adam, what products and compounds did you use?

Yeah tbh it sounds about normal, 197's and 200's are even worse. Have you checked the leads for any damage that could be letting any damp in? How long does it tend to last a few minutes?

I fuckin love these motors, real soft spot for the old 5 turbo me cousin had a few nice examples. Shame there's less and less on the road now days

They do tend to run quite lumpy when cold, tend to smooth out after a couple of minutes. Is this a recent thing?

Great work fella engine looks nice and fresh :)

Vince at stealth racing? He's a very knowledgeable chap, last time I was down there with a friend he had some insane big bhp 1.8t lupo!

Yeah I used Adam at Renault Wolverhampton have done for years, really helpful chap and a good laugh and there really competitive

These are appealing to me more and more recently, the missus old man has an 1800 in the green with the tan interior. I've been helping him maintain and tart it up a little and sort out a few electrical gremlins caused by previous owners. I've only drove it the once but I can certainly see the...

Ahhhh the loverly cage nuts lol

My bad, should of listened in geography haha

I can't remember where I read about them not selling all the r26r's maybe EVO? I can't imagine them struggling to sell 30 of these, especially with all the hype surrounding manufactures "Ring" times recently.

God loves a tryer lol

I've got the tool that slides over and you put you ratchet or bar on and crack it off but you can change them with a set of stilsons. I purchased the kit cause I use it quite a lot, the most awkward bit I find on these is refitting the new boot over the rack, especially at the drivers side lol

Something to pass the time ;) Yeah I see where your coming from in terms of exhaust note, I could imagine it becoming quite tiresome and it doesn't replace the rasp of a nice N/A haha i don't reckon you'd be a million miles behind with the ast's lol

Looks good mate

Thats a better view, the last one had the a pillar obstructing :( either a way it looked quick love the sound of the exhaust from inside the cabin

Impressive stuff, shame such a limited number but if I remember correctly they didn't even manage to sell the UK's quota of R26R's?

?

I personally would, these cars are knocking on now and if your going to all that trouble you may as we'll replace the last link if you get me drift.

Isn't sjm automotive near you? It's personal preference whether you have a new belt kit fitted as this kit hasn't done big miles

Yeah I must admit my mates had the legs in terms of speed/acceleration as the Ibiza 1.8t is a lot more tuneable as we all know but on the twisties they'd all happily admit my 172 at the time won hands down. A mate of mine still has one the same colour as your old one, Dave Martin from...

Plans sound great, some awesome progress already. I have a little soft spot for those old ibiza's quite a few friends have owned them in the past

I'm a real fan of these, did me apprenticeship with Volvo when I left school so I've seen, worked on and driven plenty of these, even me old man has the v70 equivalent

Lovely example mate

What a prat, although it all seemed a little easy
