Love all the phase 1 resurrection threads, old or new. Frankly as much as I love my RB the phase 1 is just closer to a proper clio

Oh for sure, still sought after by some as a rare part so keepers all round

The more I see the 16's the more I think they look over wheeled. 15" suits the phase 1 better. All the scrap looks excellent though, hoarder next door to the extreme

Ditched 🤪

Mallory Park on Saturday, weather was perfect for first trackday of the season and the little RB lapped it up all day. On track pics will follow when available

loving this thread, each post is like awaiting the inevitable alfa doom

Clios smoke from the engine bay on idle... From factory

Did you manage to peer through the window and check which number it was :unsure:

I filed my f3 Mintex down and kept the shims and they're thus far silent and pretty aggressive on the road. Find out Saturday if they're worthy of track use too. Upto now though very impressed having come from cl rc6

Mint @Stevej172 looks at home there

because the engine is goosed and breathing heavier than a 20 stone hooker on prom night

They pop up from time to time, but late spec wagons with half leather and charcoal insert dash are uber rare. Plus still can't make my mind up if I want roof bars or not and that's a no change decision... Stupid alfa design department

Lovely cars, completely form over function and as such more than likely purchased with heart over head. I will own a late spec 1.7tbi version one day, I yearn for one, lol Enjoy

Great track, and it's always funny seeing vans on trackdays, seen fair few over the years

facebook mostly I think plus pretty sure follow your Instagram as well and followed the colour change there

welcome to the forums, seen the car across social media etc fair bit already, looks great in PB

welcome back and lolz at the focus banter, dat wing, my God DAT wing

Stretts mate has packed up shop already unfortunately as he did mine and wanted more done. The currently on look out for someone else to do some for me

Vapour blasting gives the best OEM finish imo. Paint looks good at a distance but still looks like paint up close which isn't ideal imo if wanting standard silver look This is vapour

They'd remove both panels and if in good nick just needing minimal standard prep and paint you're normally looking 250 quid a panel average. Any repairs and blending to rest of car would be more

Confirmed, mintex F3 pads. No idea what they're like. And mix of r888 and direzza tyres on the spare lairy f1's. Roll on February 1st!

True I would replace the engine and keep her going, but may need the 684 quid for exactly that this time in 2 weeks! Plus the day that happens will be end of an era, original engine and gearbox ended....sniff sniff @makavelli know where you're coming from, every update just crying out to be...

Thinking see if it blows up at Mallory and if not then pull the trigger and just get it done. Feel like the old girl deserves it

Nah, shed floor wouldn't take the weight :unsure:

@Dr Jekyll I've only got about 12 sets currently :p

Usual winter story, just been cranking the miles again and nothing much to report. Sold the turinis provisionally and acquired some more standard cup wheels in better nick so tyres will be swapped over the summer and current set sold on. Mallory Park incoming February 2nd so fitted some semi...

@YorkshireKyle 'fine' is a strong word to describe my example......never meet your high mile hero's ;) :ROFLMAO:

That's the spirit Mark, back on track. Anyway you've got 70k to cover to catch up and achieve true ownership :p only then can you worry about mileage affecting value

Tbh can't say anything about the whole nice to mix it up a bit and start a new project, that's how I've ended up with a scrap yard on the drive

Way more than 13 for a healthy alternator, you want 14.5v across the battery on idle or more
