I've just rand my mum and she's going to bring me some tissues to dry my eyes.
I've picked bogeys that are more intelligent than you. Being insulted by you means no more to me than a stranger farting in their own car.
Great little first car imo! So much better than the chav boxes you see driving about.
But if it was mine, I wouldn't bother colour coding it, but I would spend some money on some decent and drurable trim restorer as its looking a little tired.
Just managed to watch it in peace and quiet. (Wifes on the school run)
FLOL @ people calling him an average driver. I class myself as average because I haven't crashed for 13 years. This bloke is on another level.
Granted there are people that are better than him, but then my dads bigger...
The exhausts are exactly the same.
The chrome tips you talk of can be bought from Halfords et al and just bolted on.
Search for Bux on here. He fitted some to his Nimbus 197.
There's a group buy in the for sale section for £300 for a full system brand new RS192.
If you order it now/very soon you'll get delivery asap too from what I can gather.
But they're not! RS192 vs Orbisoud: The material is better and the welding is better for starters. And they're lighter. And they come with their own mounting system rather than renaults chocolate mounts....
I'm going to leave here now. Its going massively off topic.
You said you are very fussy and want the best. Spending £250 will not get you the best. That is all.
There is nothing wrong with a 2nd hand RS192, nothing at all. But don't claim to be fussy and only settle for the best when thats clearly not the case.
If you keep the original belts in it as well as the harnesses, it will make a perfectly fine daily too. Belts for daily, harnesses for track. Winner.
As for stripping, if you're going to keep the car forever then rip out as much as you can. If you plan on selling it, even if its in 3 years...
This is the order of what i'd do now if I was starting out again.
1) Do a track day as it is. See how you get on. If you enjoyed it...
2) Renew brakes and perishables. So fluid, lines, discs, pads, bushes etc With good kit. (not Euro car parts crap)
3) 4 new quality tyres.
5) Do another...
