Mystery solved, some deep googling found a thread on here 😂 https://cliosport.net/threads/recaro-trendline-replicas.813382/

I can say for certain that they're deffo not from a Mk4 Astra GSi. I've read that the Mk5 Astra 888 had Trendlines as an optional extra but they're part leather with the 888 logo in them and the suede insert in various colours that matched the car. There's another Mk4 Astra that has some similar...

As above, Mat Brown is the man you need to speak to, this is his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054627511109

Sounds like it's just the tyres causing it tbh, proper semi slicks are actually wider & slightly different shape to the same size road tyres so they tend to exaggerate the shitty road imperfections and camber a lot more As for the brakes, RC6's are phenomenal, don't waste time or money on fancy...

A big obvious difference is the back seats, there is only 2 seatbelts in a 172 Cup, all other Mk2 Clio's have 3 seatbelts with the middle 1 being attached at the roof

In the past, the problem with those has been that the bearings are usually cheap s**t that don't last at all and was cheaper in the long run to just buy genuine Renault items, just not sure if the same logic can be applied now that Renault items are even more expensive Need to be careful with...

They've dropped the price on those discs already 🤯

Hopefully they'll have deep pockets & money to burn so I can sell it to them 🤞🤑

Put the Cup to work to get fresh tyres in 185 55 15 fitted to the fresh wheels, gone for Avon ZV7 as I have them on the Cup and they're good but more importantly available in the correct size The engine has been built & sat on the stand since 2016 it was due a cambelt on age 🫣 so chucked a...

Collection of new and refurbished bits & bobs Had my entire collection of spare bolts etc blasted & replated

2020 Lockdown kicked in & having to work through all of it :rolleyes: meant that my Lockdown Project ended up being just a refurbishment of the rear axle Absolute massive b*****d of a cnut job to strip apart, getting it cherry red hot with the oxy and 2 of us swinging like fcuk with a slide...

I had it since 2014 but it got crashed into by a Fiat Punto in 2019 which wrote it off :cry:

Another selection of new genuine Renault parts Some before & after of the wheels I know I said I got some bargain rear discs earlier but I had to nick them for the 172 Cup so bought some more from RPD

Home to start reassembly Amazing how much stuff fits into such a small car

Sat at work with Dialogys & ebay opened is how I spend my work time, find obscure part in some random as f**k country, click on "see sellers other items" and fall into a rabbit hole of the 800 other Renault items they've got listed 🤩

2018 is when all this lot happened Before & after of the rusty back arch The doors needed a fair amount of fettling including damage done by an attempted break in on the drivers door

Photos of some of the new & rare parts I've managed to find from abroad Actually bought these gaskets from a guy in a van in a field at the Nurburgring whilst the Oldtimers GP was on in 2017 I also managed to get a brand new Genuine Renault splitter for the front bumper from the same guy at...

Had the engine soda blasted then painted before being sent off for rebuilding Managed to get my hands on an actual brand new & unused cylinder head that had been sat on a shelf for about 20 years, had it refreshed anyway, valves relapped & new stem seals

Fast forward to 2017, after many blown engines & gearboxes on the other cars, I had access to a unit where I could start to properly work on the car Loaded up ready to be rebuilt & made to look pretty

I've paid for access to this section of the forum so might as well use it, especially since a few other Williams projects have started to appear on here recently. At the end of 2013 I went to see a guy about buying some roof trims for my Valver, ended up buying the trims and a Williams while I...

Have you thought about getting a different final drive for the gearbox?

🤫🤫🤫

Started to fit the doors and test fitting an 8j wheel for even wider tyres on the front Back into the workshop to rip the engine out and fit a new Sachs Performance Race clutch along with a Mk2 DCi steering rack for less turns lock to lock over the Mk1 manual rack And because the Sadev...

Lockdown upgrades Fibreglass doors from CCF Fibreglass, should help get the car under 800kg with them being 25kg lighter than the previous doors

I suppose I should update this as it has been 3 & a half years 🙈 Last trackday was just before lockdown with a few other Mk1's & Mk2's Had a premature end to the day with a track rod end somehow managing to strip it's threads & half come out of the hub whilst going round Gerards...

I've deffo got the speaker covers, PM me your address and I'll pop them in the post

Those are ph2 speaker covers & the Williams 1's don't have speakers in the doors originally. I think I might have a couple of covers spare, I'll have a look for you The fog lights are the same on both ph1 & ph2, it's just the outside mounting bits that are different and you can easily swap them...

Look back in your video at the end cap, see how the corners are machined at an angle, that's where you need sealant to be because the corners in the block are at 90 degrees

Did you put sealant onto the corners of the main seal end cap as well as the sides?
