Please don’t wrap the roof. You’ve done an amazing job so far, don’t ruin it.

Yeah I’ve never heard of it elsewhere either. The previous owner only told me - and the fact it had done 15+ track days in his ownership - after I’d paid for it. 😂 I did manage to get the service book updated correctly by Renault so that any future owners had it in writing what had been done.

My first ever 172 was 1 year old with 10,000 miles on it when the aux belt snapped, took the cambelt out and ruined the head (Apparently). It actually came in to the Renault Dealership I was working at for the warranty work. I then bought it aged 4 years old with 36k on it.

Quite.

I’ve always been a lover of clay mitts/cloths because I’m fat and lazy. But imho, clay bars are better and cause way less damage.

Was that cold or hot?

Do a 1-2 warm up laps, then 2-3 fast laps, come in and check pressures. You want about 28-30psi hot. My MRF’s are about 23/24 cold and ideally 28/29 hot. Slightly higher on the rear but that’s my personal preference.

You could lower it on 60mm springs but it would drive absolutely horrible. Bordering on unsafe to be fair. Even 35mm springs remove most of the comfort. A set of coilovers can be had for £200 on eBay, and you can go 100mm on the back and 80 on the front. (And it will still drive absolutely...

How’s that for a 100,000 mile engine bay. f**k me im good. (Ignore the scuttle panel, not done that yet)

Everything in the north died under Thatcher.

Very jealous of your rig. That’s a cracking setup.

Yes.

My Google isn’t broken so I can help you here. Sunday 29th May, 2pm race. (I can’t go @Tim. - I’m on holiday. 😭)

You two have just given me brain ache.

Whilst I love a fast estate, and the technology doing what it’s doing is undeniably clever, I can think of many cars I’d choose to take on track before I took an automatic car. But that’s not to take away the engineering fabulousness that is the RS Audi range.

Get in there with a can of brake cleaner and a thin paintbrush and clean it all up. Check it agin in a week and you should easily find your culprit.

I just spent ages studying all your Instagram pics. Sterling work old chap, Sterling.

And it will have to go on a 7.5T truck minimum which means tacho. £££.

In my living room I have my old Cambridge audio amp and some Dali (sp) speakers. All hidden and the amp hasn’t been turned off for 5 years now. 😂 The sound is awesome, absolutely awesome. And in the kids play room, we have a generic Samsung/hitatchi/whatever was at Argos sound bar. It...

Love it! It’s nice to see you’ve gone something other than the usual liquid yellow. You’re a properly talented boy I’ll give you that. 👏🏻👏🏻

Once it’s fixed and all up together, it should give you a good few years of easy motoring.

Just read this from start to finish. Superb work!

I really like these! It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure. But for getting from A to B in a plain fashion, I think they’re perfect. Not knobby like an A class or 1 series either.

Get in the van… I’ll drive you up, you can get to mine surely?? We’ll stop and get @DaveDreads on the way.

That jetwash station is immense! What a great idea.

Post a few pics up of the damage. If you can repair it for £2k and pocket £2k then it’s worth it to keep the car you already know. If it needs a load of invasive work and will cost loads, it may be worth taking the money and letting them dispose of the car. Using my two cars as an example...

van. You’ll be in the back of my van.

Do you not wash wheel arches in clevedon??

Full day on track and weekend ticket booked. Anyone got a trailer I can borrow?? 😂
