Yeah it's got front jacking point issues too and needs sills ideally. It was boosted but I got into trackdays and bought another one for that so grey one was decommissioned and has sat ever since Looks like this at mo

Glad to see the work going into this chap, should be lovely when done. Need to sort my old grey one out at some point but the fear of the rust has stopped me thus far

Look tidy, be shame to do anything other than keep it stock imo

Only tyre that's actively tried to kill me on the limit is the pilot sport offerings from Michelin, never again, evil evil semi slick crap that

Been sideways past the limit of grip plenty of times old bean, never felt the fabled 'snap' seems a bit like the bullshit 5k cam kick, not forthcoming ;-)

Never had that issue, always found them less snappy than the semi slick crap tbh

I've responded re wiring in your other thread too @glennbroad

Like that as well tbh, poverty spec with a sport heart should be a giggle

Subscribe up and open the forum for the projects threads etc and start one, great to see unknown mk1's come out the woodwork as as I'm sure you know there aren't many left.

Small update Due to my ongoing spending issues I acquired a set of pms lower arms with the spherical bearings and strengthening plates for a bargain so couldn't say no. No fitted pics but bit of struggle on the offside so had to 'adjust' it to fit but after a bit of loving persuasion they're...

Just seen this too All depends what you want from the car. Keeping stock interior you can decode the original ecu and relatively easily splice the 172 engine loom to the mk1 interior loom. My conversion is more straightforward, as it's a track car I simply transplanted everything from the mk2...

I don't have a spare setup unfortunately, however as a fellow mk1 owner and mk1 F4R owner intrigued to see details of the car etc, do you have a project thread or similar?

I've used the pre loved Michelin and Dunlop variants from the eBay ex race series suppliers for years, and even completely ruined they offer up so much more grip than anything else. For the price too it's a no brainer. Currently I'm on r888r's but they're s**t tbh compared but only running...

leave off, never been a fan personally

Cheers all, I'm getting happier with it. Project thread will be updated this week with what I've done recently and what's on the list going forward. Cheers again Ben

Submitted this one

New alloy bonnet, cup spoiler and rear bumper all fitted. Slapped on the refurbished F1's, got a years ticket on it with no advisories and went for a spin! ? Ben

Look super don't they? Silly KW with picking yellow.....Yawn!

Ai Renaults have always been numbered 'wrong'

Looking superb Mark

Jesus! Pattern part ball joint?

You mean Gerrards at Mallory? That's supposedly the engine killer although done it several times on full slicks and I'm not exactly a wheelman but there was some sustained lateral g and engines not gone bang. Was same on my old f7 turbo motor, no issues!

Lol, just realised after reading the thread back, fitted 10mm hub spacers to the car last year and totally forgot..... so that's 26mm rear spacing, thought it looked a bit wide, flol!!

20mm front and 16mm rear @rik220

I'm considering full original, so no spacers, original springs, pattern mild steel exhaust, remove colour coded strips and return orange to side repeaters and front indicators. And back to original spoiler..... But not yet! No rubbing issues as yet, but literally just driven it off drive and...

Oh forgot to mention, finally got rid of the skoda front splitter and refitted the much more appropriately sized original :-)

For the record the wheels look really dull for some reason in the pics, think due to overcast day, they're wonderful in person!

Well back enough into one piece now, outstanding are to try to bleed the brakes again and needs new rear discs, probably a bit more of a fettle with the exhaust but save for that she's back up and running! To then be consigned to the back of the drive for winter! Lol!! Fail! Couple of last...
