Had a day to myself yesterday, so I managed to give the 30D some attention. Started off with a snow foam, followed by a bath and a going over with the clay bar. Obviously being black you can’t see just how much s**t there is in the paint, but my clay bar told me otherwise! After that it was time...

Well that’s hardly difficult now is it! Lol!

Lol! Have you been keeping it tucked away in a nice warm garage? Or has it been left to suffer the cold?! If it’s the latter, it’s clearly upset and making you suffer! ?

What year is your car mate? Some ph2 172’s don’t need the speedo sensor as they take the signal from the abs - again, the year of your car will tell us this. Everything happens to make the jc5 break mate - the list is almost endless! Lol! Nothing you can do to make the box stronger except...

No problem buddy. ??

62 -1 from memory mate

Solder attracts moisture and corrosion mate.

I was gutted to see it go mate, but I knew it was going to a good home. ?? Enjoy it and look after it. ?

Yeah that’ll be fine mate.

Technically it’s no good mate as it’s a gl5 oil.

It needs to be gl4 spec oil. Post up a link to the oil you’ve got and I’ll confirm if it’s the correct stuff. Some oils can actually damage the synchros, so you need to be reasonably careful what oil you use.

Yeah kids have a way of changing how you view things! Lol! Well I definitely know how to ride mate. That’s one of the things that bothered my wife so much tbh. She knows I ride the same way as I drive, so she had concerns for obvious reasons.

Lol dedication to the cause there mate! And yes it’s been very much the reminder of the past with the cup etc! As soon as Annabelle arrived mate, life changed for me and has continued to change - hence the lack of thou rr.

?? Yeah they do seem to go well with 230bhp tbh. This engines not specced for 290 btw - I was taking the piss. Lol! 290 would cost £20k!

It’s got one of those as well! Lol

He’s been on here before mate yes.

Yeah it’s got to be an earth missing for the loom mate.

And she’s ready to rock! And yes, there’s more tension on the belt, and yes that’s intentional. Renaultsport advises you do this on the R3 maxi/maxi Evo engine builds. ?

A 730/736/738 won’t see past 260. Too many restrictions.

Mine was 230 n/a mate

Yeah? ?

Specced for 290.

Various reasons for it mate, but there’s some other bits that can’t be seen that make a big improvement.

You’re an observant fucker! Lol! Yes mate it is.

Lol! It’s not for me though mate! This is for a mate.

Clio had to go anyway. Nowhere to build this little beaut. ?

Lol!! Nah never had a mk1 mate, and tbh, I just don’t have any time anyway.

Funnily enough mine has the factory fit electric towbar! It’s never been used! Lol

Yeah it didn’t need much extra coding as it’s pretty well specced, but it’s nice to be able to code in stuff like the alpina gearbox software etc. Nah mate. Family life has taken over, so no time for a great deal of anything anymore. I’m lucky if I get to watch f1 in peace and quiet! Lol...

No mate.
