Thanks. Yeah we had the same combo on the last car and it felt really good under braking.

Day off...parts arrive... Weather is grim!

Was up brands yesterday evening for an evening session in a friend's car. Was a few clios out on track and lots in the car park for the meet after, anyone from here? My Monaco 172 was parked near a couple in the top car park.

Still waiting on a date for the work to be carried out at the bodyshop so thought its best we tackle the bonnet catches this weekend, quite a time consuming job in the end trying to get it all lined up properly but got there in the end. Will make working in the bay so much easier. No going back...

Might be lucky, my dad picked up the same model with a few pads and some polish second hand for £45 on eBay.

Bottom one from i4 out of those 3. Have the same machine but the pro version myself and it's been great.

Did my first white car on Sunday with the Da, brother turned up with his new runabout...a £250 focus with the dullest paint I've seen and it looked like a cheap respray job (overspray everywhere). Before and after doesn't do it justice but he was shocked how it came up.

haha very modest. Looked clean.

Stunning!

Saw it parked up close to euro car parts Friday afternoon. Blue with black wheels iirc, looked nice.

Got a Da in Maidstone but probably a bit far for you.

Few little updates. Bought a stereo blank for a few quid from ebay, should house the window switches quite neatly. Looks like moving the wiring could be a fun job tho! Finished scraping the last of the tar from the footwells and started laying down some grip tape in its place. Nice...

Amazing car, top work!

Giving it some up lower stone street just after 7 this evening, had some stickers down the side.

Sadly everything removed went straight to the dump lol got enough bits in the garage already.

Thanks! Not sure on the flaming but it wont be as fun as it coming out the side! Yeah that's the one mate Thanks! It is a superb colour and your turbo was the reason for me wanting one. Not booked anything up yet as I have to arrange days off with my old man as he tows it. Will hopefully get...

Re: Trophy in Maidstone (odeon underground) and a Blue 172 At bottom of bluebell hill That was me in the blue 172 coming from blue bell hill.

Finally had to say goodbye to the side exit today :( been on the car since I've had it and i will miss the sound but it just wont pass noise tests on track. Had to cut the cat to exhuast bolts as i hadnt had them off for years but other than that all came off easy. Sidey is off! Bought an...

That would be very impressive for a 1.8, most I got from mine was 130bhp lol.

Had enough of black paintwork after this week! First car is a guy from works MG ZR, he'd been respraying his wheels in the garage and all the overspray had landed over the bonnet/windscreen/wings so he brought it round to sort that out and give it a bit of shine back. The paintwork on the front...

How does anyone get in and drive a car like that everyday?! Superb job as usual tho!

Looks like a great job for the time spent on it, bet he was chuffed.

Bit more progress... Cage is now in ready to be bolted in place. It seemed a lot easier to put in than it was to remove, think we got our angles wrong when taking it out. Gave the gear surround a quick paint and then replaced the top dash and centre console, window switches will be going where...

Thanks! They certainly caught peoples attention at night. Thanks! The wheels were cheap and weigh half what the standard lead ones do lol. Got the track car home a month or so ago to get it ready to put up for sale, which mainly meant taking the cage, seats and exhaust off as they will be...

Thanks! Yeah its nice to have been able to go to the same RR when mods have changed and get a pretty accurate idea of how its changed the car.

More stuff to get it up to date... After fitting the new engine and widetrack I was far from impressed with the new handling. There was a kinda lag when turning in as if the steering wheel weren't connected and going around tight bends became scary when trying to straighten up again! After a...

I think it was roughly £30 for the 2 sheet. I could of got them both out of one bigger sheet but the ones in stock were battered.

Looks really nice that!

Thanks for the replies. I'm not 100% on water pump as I haven't had the bumper etc off to have a good look but its certainly that area. The mot bloke last week also noted 'coolant leak from water pump area' on the advisories. I may go up the Renault parts place tomorrow and ask about getting...
