Arriving at some point in the future:
Bilsteins.
Matched inlets.
Other stuff I want...
Buy some nicer ones ? I'm sure you could get some mint ones off here for about that price !
"Proper" refurb i.e.: weld/ blast + powdercoat will be ~£200.
Re: How much are my wheels worth?
Take one off and look at the back of the spokes - there should be an offset (ET**) stamped in there somewhere.
How much do you want/need for them ?
Put them up for £400 and see if someone bites your hand off....? Or £450 .. see if you get any interest...
If it's a front one, it'll need wings too or it'll look daft .. also then you'll need a wider track as the wheels won't stick out far enough.
3 people on this site might notice in a photo. No one on the street will notice or care. It won't make the car any faster or IMO look any better...
Standard mk2 2.0 Clios are about equal (below a ton) to a mk2 Focus ST. The RS is on another level.
If the FRS is running anywhere close to 350/440Nm, I can promise you you won't see which way he went.
Am I the only one not upset !?
It's a cheap French pocketrocket which will be used to drive like it's intended on track and when necessary round the twistiez.
I knew what I was buying (almost) before I bought it. Hence I bought it.
I'm not bothered that it's not factory fresh. That's...
Oh goody. Thanks..
Buckets might be on the list sooner rather than later then haha :o
It's a cheap French shed. It's been designed to be tracked !!
Well the price I paid, I'm happy. Already got people lining up to buy it who will all disappear as soon as the for sale ad appears...
Towel dried / hoovered the sh*t up / cleaned with cleaner to freshen up (was GRIM).
N.S light had a bit of putty/silicone gloop on it [the bodywork where the loom goes through] - probably causing the issue as it won't sit flat. Removed that, changed lights and tightened it all up properly...
Its misfiring because the valves have been re-bed ?
FLOL.
Remove this nugget from your Christmas card list.
Good lord.
Take the inlet off. Check the HTs are going 1-1, 2-2 etc... if they are .. get a code reader and find out if the injectors are throwing any codes.
BTM or SJM are...
