That, I love. MX5, drop, wheels, camber, finished. (I know that's had more done, but it's such an easy way to make a car look awesome)

Apart from the bonnet, that is utter p**n. Not saying the bonnet is gash, just not my personal preference.

Do you recommend any "make" in particular Danny?

Sorry mate, misunderstood you a bit. Yeah another stop would have been nice and I did see a lot of signs for Reims, but just didn't really know what was there. Last minute is win, no idea what the hotel etc will be like, just turn up and hope.

Yeah that's the one, very strange thing going in under the tunnel!!! A bit out of my paygrade, but outside the Moet houses there was some serious motors. I can't tell if the first bit is sarcastic?? I asked for advice on places to stop as TBH it was all on a bit of a whim!

Very high on the scrap yard front, I'm pretty sure my local has a few.

So, I have a feeling my FK coilovers may be slightly uneven on the front with regards to the damping. Is this something I can just change myself? I was thinking just wind them both to as soft as possible, then go say three full turns tighter on both, go out and test, then repeat? Is there more...

It's just a case of finding a mk2 ph1 non sport, ideal an RN or RL model, they should have manual windows, take out the whole window mech (really easy, just a few bolts), take a few photos for reference (as to where the holes were drilled etc) and replicate it. If you ask member Kerry-W on...

That's brilliant Ad, thanks A LOT, I've been looking for one for quite a while. Fancy helping me drill out two snapped nuts any time soon? ;) lol!!!!!

It's exactly the same as non electric. You might have to drill a few new holes in the door skin, but I'm sure it'd be very easy as long as you had a manual window car to match.

Yep, all the same, the price is about what I paid iirc. You have to re-use your compression nut and metal spacer though.

Got a link for the gear gaitor?? It looks much nicer than mine. As far as I'm aware, the lower spec ones were grey, yours looks great though. Danny how much do you charge for matched inlets?

I know my trip was much smaller, but I planned the lot in 10 days, as in 10 days before we left.

Upload them to a site such as photobucket then use the [img] code they offer you.

Love reading these, amazing to think you can achieve a completely different standard of work to someone employed by RR being paid god knows what. Perhaps you should offer them your services (at a greatly inflated rate ;))

Spoiler looks excellent like that!!

"Static" - Scene kids talk for "Slammed"

As above... Suspension top mount. Fred's washer fix may solve the issue or just a new pair of top mounts.

Ok, so some constructive comments from me, as it seems you haven't got many of these.... You've done some good bits, and some bad, so here goes: I'd remove all the orange, except maybe the filler cap and a few orange stickers if you're really set on having orange as a theme try doing some...

....how much do they go for? One question though, all of these who've gone and done it themselves, how did you time it up etc? Take it somewhere or buy the tools??

Oh god, I think I'm going to buy one... Buy the shell before xmas, get it all ready, find the engine after... I'm about to move into a house with an empty garage too... I'll be contacting you Patrick ;) (you're done for it now) What I want more than anything is the learning curve tbh.

If you take/find a pic mate, people will be able to give you an order of parts... Alternatively, a lot of other shocks will be very similar, so you may be able to find an image of one of those.

Road tax can't be right surely? lol!!! Got a pic of the two white's at all duckie?

Difference is you can sell the RS tuner etc...

That depends if you buy the Renault item or a motorfactors version, the Renault item is a lot more expensive but replaces the whole thing, which bolts on/off, the motorfactor version only replaces "half" and the "half" is rivetted on.

Ok, so first off, you kicked the s**t out of my little journey, a very nice write up and the journey looks flipping great :) Now, for three questions: What broke? Why the hell was the queue like that at the eiffel tower? I literally walked straight up, but was there mid week??? Now for the...

Me or Ad? Mine's ni on ready for some track time if you fancy a trip Mike? lol!

Haven't checked this in a while, cannot believe the difference the belt/dephaser change has made, sounds like a different car. Does it drive a lot better? Saw you raised the ARB, good choice ;) I also noticed something a bit further back I hadn't read....so a question if I may: You said you...
