With scitp in mind;
The mk3 RS really does look rubbish without a spoiler imo. In all honesty the cup spoiler wouldn't have been my choice if it wasn't already bolted on but if the car came like that I'd be fitting a sprint spoiler before having it MOT'd 😂. As it is I can't live...
I had the week off work after easter and the car needed prepping for an MOT attempt. I'm not a fan of bleeding brakes, I'd prefer someone else gets the blame when I cant bloody stop and end up a tangled mess. So I booked the car in at my local garage for a once over and a service and in a...
Apart from the rad support and the rear beam I don't believe they do rust excessively. I expect there will be spots underneath that will be suceptible but probably no worse than the 1*2's are showing these days. My honetmoon hasn't started yet, I've driven it about 4 miles now 😆. At least it's a...
Cleaning it wasn't totally uneventful.
Yes the RS badge on the grille was painted spastic blue too and apparently was pulled off the backing to do it. Thats a blessing in disguise because there would be blue on the bumper, bonnet and god knows where else! £50 for a new one isn't very Yorkshire...
A bit of catching up to do on this. The rear lights are shameful so I removed them to see if the tint spray would come off with any chemicals. It doesnt and sanding them back isn't worth the effort so I need to source a pair of clean ones. The muck behind them did come off though...
No. He likes to limit himself to cartonishly oversized wheels which are only available in sporty Renault's. That's why his waiting list is so long, he can only do one every 12 weeks 😂.
I'll send you my 200 ASAP then, it certainly has more than its fair share of brown parts😂.
You've done a bloody great job there though, you might even drive the thing this year now then!
f**k me, we had an F40 the other day. A f**king Ferrari F40! And now we're expected to believe some fool appreciated spotting a mother f**king Nissan Karen wagon? s**t, @Yorkshire Pudding wheres the sea at? If this is how it's going I'm getting in there ASAP.
Welcome aboard. There are some epic track car builds in the projects section from budget track cars to supercharged nutters and even a few k-swapped clio's. All the help you'll ever need is here somewhere, just ask.
Surprised it didn't sell but if you feel like you'll still be competitive in it in the new class then why not build as required. At least you know it's a good base and doesn't need fixing first 👍.
...But when cleaning the trim I noticed the side repeaters have some green inside them so they will need replacing.
I just love the pearl :love:
I still had the reat of the car to wash but at this point the headlamp bulbs arrived so I decided to get that ticked off the list.
The driver side...
The mk3 has top mount covers but as you can see in my last post the top of the strut is under water. The covers have a bead of squishy foam on the bottom but as theres a gap in it its obviousley not designed to keep water out which seems a bit odd if the water level can rise high enough to flood...
While the bonnet was up I decided to have a look under the scuttle. With all that muck and tree deritus there wasn't much chance it would be dry. The wiper arms came off nice and easily so at least I didn't crack the windscreen like I did removing the 182 wipers!
There's drains in there...
Ah spring cleaning😊, lets crack on shall we?
The first thing I wanted to sort out was the divers seat, I felt like Short Round driving it where it was😆. I was happy to see that the seats are bolted from inside the car and the wires are also easy to get to. In other words totally opposite to the...
That looks very nice indeed (y). Door lock buttons are a common failure, at least it opens mine bloody doesnt most of the time🤣. I'm not sure you can get the micro switches seperate for the clio like you can for the megane though. I'ts something I'm currently looking into. The recaro base has 4...
If you get a starter from ecp do not leave the building without looking at it first. I bought the expensive one and it was fucked;
I took it back and swapped it for the cheapest one which looked brand new, but when fitted just didn't work. All available ones are refurbished.
I stripped and...
