Yes, it was oil burning....

Provided original Renault ones they're straight bolt on

Finally bought and installed this couple days ago.... They gave me the million credits too which was odd but don't look a gift horse and all that. Not got ripped in enough yet to see any challenging handling characteristics, mainly been in the EDC trophy tbh and it's quite chuckable really...

Booked Saturday and full day on track, be prepared to lose your QV into a ditch @Cub.

Post in the way, but outside Broome Hall in Kent on holidays.

It's more than likely just the sliders in the carrier, can be disassembled, wire brushed clean and then lubricated and put back together. I do this twice a year to all sliders on all four corners when I swap back and forth to the winter wheels

Looking resplendent as ever Mark

You mean spaced like a 18 year old pleb? 🧐

Engine and gearbox both original, never been opened or refurbished etc. Had plenty of wheel and suspension changes over the years, exhausts etc but the heart of the beast remains as left factory 17 years ago.... Edit...nearly 18 now I bought her from @The Boosh! a decade ago on a sprightly 103k

It's suffering now chap, rear arch and sill rot setting in. Still drives nicely though

@MicKPM is the mission technical specialist, he's in the maintenance bay of the main capsule (boot)

Where's the core details? 6 pages and not been pinned to post #1 so CBA trawling through. Namely is track time available both days? :cool:

Made it, touchdown was 10:07:45s GMT on 19/03/2022. Smooth landing.

Ai, I do some miles in her. Stay at 50ft away and she looks okay still

Yup that was me, down there with work and stopped at the Premier Inn, actually ended up having steak at tgi's n all.

As above, I just linked mine in the wheel arch with existing connector and unplugged the motor

Just caught up on this. Nice to see one being cared for again as think I said in your new user thread. Column weld, wouldn't overly worry, if the weld breaks, it'll just go back to sloppy steering but ideally it does want doing a bit better. Column can be removed with subframe still on the car...

I don't think I have, it wasn't running for the first laps unfortunately. I'll be back at Donington later in the year more than likely, I'll let you know... If I remember.. Lol

Yep was frankly incredible....despite a full spin early on 🤣

Yeah got a few, I'll dig them off the go pro in a few weeks when I get a minute 😎

Day out at Donington today for some track fun

Yeah it's been great and still is, lovely thing, hence on the fence about it. May sell the mods to free some cash then take stock

That was kind of my thinking, remove recaros and b14's and pull about 5k total ish ..... But just weighing up if in my head that's enough to part with it and not sure it is

Definitely looks like over use of the shine, nothing to worry about just wipe off and see if it returns for now

I've had similar recently, was the wishbone bushes

This is very hypothetical but may be selling up some of my scrap, and the obvious choice to free some cash up is the oddy.... So key points are: 160k miles, belts and pretty extensive engine refresh with clutch, fluids, Aircon recommission etc etc about 2 years ago Just passed MOT with worn...

sorry missed this, about 120 quid including return postage iirc

MOT passed today with two advisories for worn outer ARB bushes..... Best scrap it

As above, wood to protect and you'll be fine
