Welcome

Welcome Mine also had a top end rebuild just before my ownership, common fault lunching the belt and taking the valves with it on these lumps

Yeah looks spot on and pretty much yeah move the platform up 20mm and you'll up the ride height by that too

I'd clean the throttle body in the first instance see if it's just sticking slightly

If you have a jack and basic hand tools have a go yourself, it's a very simple job and if you are worried about the top mount nuts just pop to a garage first and ask them nicely to buzz them off for you. Obviously retighten to sensible level before venturing home

Nice mod plans My RS2 has transformed the car, 2nd gear on trackdays is a thing of the past as I've actually got torque at 2500rpm now. Peak means nothing, who needs an extra 10lbft at 6800rpm? Need bhp then, not torque. Went from stealing second from time to time at cadwell to 3rd pretty much...

Found some pics of my old titanium, may of posted them before but wish I'd never sold those wheels !

30-03-2018 Arch Painting Weather was okay first thing this morning, so badly masked up the arches and set about them with the stone chip. Got two layers on and then naffed off out, so left it to dry and got back in time to cover the car back up before the heavens opened. I'll attack the lot...

Correct unless you're lucky enough to buy it back

Not the car admittedly but the wheels are back!

Mega! 172 should in theory drop straight in as chassis takes the f7 engines that the mk1 clios then used and the f4 bolts straight into the clio too

Yeah it's a very fine flake so doesn't look. ... s**t Lol !

Didn't realise you are an RB owner too chap, best colour! Nice work and engine bay looking clean now, huge improvement

Oh weighed the bare wheel too, 7.6kg

29-03-2018 Wheels Back Collected my wheels today from the powdercoaters, happy enough with them it's a decent job for the price and should last a while. I ummed and ahhhhhd for a while about what to go for, flat silver or metallic sparkle. ....flat would of been more oe but couldn't resist a...

always wondered if they kept the torsion bars in on full coilover rears

You killed a 42k car @Stu. What was up with it?!!

I'll avoid then @massivewangers

brake and tyres first imo

bonus on the free respray, stuff of dreams that they going to want to use the car to demo their work or something?

anyone ever tried the micro ones? https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/cockpit-ventilation/demon-tweeks-micro-heater love to see if in a point just at windscreen type situation this would do the trick as it weighs next to nothing

Yeah they're expensive compared too thier peers, but that hike is b****cks, try some of the specialist insurers like greenlight imo

although I hate when Ross keeps digging up old threads and pics of the car like this, I think he's more angry at the situation than me, flol! does make me miss it, such a great and pretty car in its heyday

just s**t and s**t mate, started to use the car for trackdays rather than just posing and santa pod. with the open diff and more road orientated suspension setup it wasn't perfoming great and I had loads of issues with overheating etc with the turbo lump. was looking at big bucks to put it right...

makes you sad @mossyv6 , makes YOU sad?!! imagine how I feel.......oh wait its my fault ,flol!

erm......................... 🙈

great stuff @Digger90 glad you made the purchase in the end! really hoping to see it out and about at some point, we'll have to align track calendars at some point later in the year when mines back up and sorted :)
