I think the journey is what grabs people's attention the most, and the fact that you're still persevering with the build tbh mate. I also think I can say on behalf of everyone on this forum, we just want to see you back in the driving seat of #165. There's some trick stuff in you're build as...

That bonnet will be fine mate. Mine was the same - 4 aerocatches and tested to 130+ without any dramas. See you Saturday!

That is a s**t advert! Lol! Not on original wheels either. As for what it's worth, everything is only worth as much as people are willing to pay. And in this case, rather a large amount it appears! Shame it's not on original suspension as well. Tbh, he may have all the original gear, but it's...

I would've happily put my 230bhp n/a cup up against any boost bus. It went like a stabbed rat tbh and the 181lb/ft of ensured it pulled extremely well. In fact, it could pull the limiter in 5th and was far more rewarding to drive as you had to rev it out. Oh and that was to 8k reliably. If you...

That looks great! I tagged you in a thread on 197.net @Sunglasses_Ron as there's one for sale in RB...

Small pipe is the high pressure pipe. Larger bore pipe is low pressure. That's as much as I can tell you though mate, so not sure if that's any use?

4x108 mate.

Renault Wolverhampton are potentially cheaper than rpd tbh. Failing that there's rofag on eBay. They're over in Poland but ship to the uk. Personally I would save my cash and not bother with the poly bushes.

I'm up in Lichfield Staffordshire mate. Price wise it's £130 including the genuine renault parts.

I can do it while you wait. Box has to be opened up to replace the seal though.

Yeah the majority of them have the Holts paint mixing system. The only criticism I have was the nozzle on the rattle can itself. The bloke who mixed mine up was laughing at just how many colours went into the makeup of AG. Then proceeded to tell me 'it's very bright isn't it'. Yeah no s**t. I...

Halfords can do it if you give them the code mate. I had a AG can mixed up and it actually looked a very similar match!

Have they had the centre bore done as well? You could leave the inner barrel gold and just spray the face to get a feel for the full LY effect

Maybe do the inner barrels of the wheels black and the spokes LY so it's not so in your face. Would work though!

Just look at the way the light is hitting the gold in this pic - it's got a very liquid yellow look to it near enough imo. Fortune favours the brave. :wink:

You know what colour would work, and work quite well? Liquid yellow. There, I said it! The black of the tyres and the red from the calipers would break it up enough to pull it off I reckon. And pull it off well.

That's why I had the improved synchro rings sorted out for 3rd/4th gear.

Unless you're chasing after the last 0.1bhp I wouldn't worry tbh. We only used to worry about it on turbo builds tbh.

@Russ Rallye

The last thing you want is a 5.25 ratio. 1st gear will be pointless, so all you would've done is successfully converted the 5spd box into a 4spd with crawler gear. Lol!! Only option you'd have really is a gripper diff and one of their crownwheel and pinions. Easy way to spend £1500+ though...

Worst case scenario is that you would have to replace the accumulator mate as it would be too saturated for the refrigerant to boil the moisture off.

The biggest concern I'd have is if the drier/accumulator has drawn in moisture. It needs to dry the air to stop ice crystals forming when the system is in operation. If it's full of moisture, it stops the ac system working correctly mate. Only way you'll know is when you regas it...

Well fingers crossed it does mate yeah! Lol! It's the same when it was f1 or dtm as well - nice and quiet. I just dropped unlucky with the traffic.

No doubt contemplating how much lubricant was going to be needed around the arsehole to pay the Nurburgring/recovery bill! I have also had this experience. Lol! Did you get a bongard club sticker?

You'll not f**k it up mate even if you don't follow my recommendations tbh. You just might find that gear selection isn't so easy and needs another pair of hands to adjust it. Regards the ph1 airbox, I originally had a v6 item and there was more induction noise for definite. I also had the...

What colour is the coolant that's in it now? Type d is a yellowy green colour. It's more than likely had some standard off the shelf coolant in it tbh. If you wanted to change to type d, or change from type d, you'd need to flush the system through thoroughly as they don't like to mix. Type d...

It's the type d stuff for the coolant mate and the pads are cup racer specific. Or in other terms, ds1.11's!

You could safely have 3mm machined off the face to reduce the ET.

Lol no mate!

Today, I flew a spitfire - as in I had the controls! Full report and pics will come in another thread, but for now, here's a pic of me getting strapped in! Parachute and harness!
