Tyres fitted today and clean (ish) bill of health for all 5 F1's. Two with slight buckles but barely anything and everything balanced up fine so I'm more than chuffed in all honesty. I'll seal them up and get some pics once the centre caps are back from the paint shop! Worst wheel took this...

Subframe won't need swapping, in all honesty too think the valver stuff will bolt straight on

Can just do engine swap on that too f7, likelihood of gearbox or something else in drivetrain dying though is pretty high

Should be fine, only like running 7mm spacers

Bad call tbh

I think around 5 years ago they were ripe for killing as finances made sense. Now unless you need a load of bits it's just hassle. Then again maybe I'm just old and lazy now, I dealt out the final hand to enough cars I think and nagging regret over the Williams' I've murdered is haunting me still

return to stock and sell on imo

Road car just standard tbh

inner tie rods and rack mount bushings plus ARB bushes and wishbone bushes are all likely to want to doing and rod ends and lower ball joints if not already done MOT pass doesn't mean not worn, these cars are pushing 14 years now

Just free off the rear sliders, more than likely that's the issue as the caliper isn't floating fully on them anymore

Lovely progress, love a clean bay

Depends what your expectations are, imo a couple of grand will buy you a solid enough car. But the truly good ones are going to be more to prise away from thier owners

Looking good

Do the full aux kit not just the belt

Welcome

Welcome Mine also had a top end rebuild just before my ownership, common fault lunching the belt and taking the valves with it on these lumps

Yeah looks spot on and pretty much yeah move the platform up 20mm and you'll up the ride height by that too

I'd clean the throttle body in the first instance see if it's just sticking slightly

If you have a jack and basic hand tools have a go yourself, it's a very simple job and if you are worried about the top mount nuts just pop to a garage first and ask them nicely to buzz them off for you. Obviously retighten to sensible level before venturing home

Nice mod plans My RS2 has transformed the car, 2nd gear on trackdays is a thing of the past as I've actually got torque at 2500rpm now. Peak means nothing, who needs an extra 10lbft at 6800rpm? Need bhp then, not torque. Went from stealing second from time to time at cadwell to 3rd pretty much...

Found some pics of my old titanium, may of posted them before but wish I'd never sold those wheels !

30-03-2018 Arch Painting Weather was okay first thing this morning, so badly masked up the arches and set about them with the stone chip. Got two layers on and then naffed off out, so left it to dry and got back in time to cover the car back up before the heavens opened. I'll attack the lot...

Savage

Correct unless you're lucky enough to buy it back

Not the car admittedly but the wheels are back!

Mega! 172 should in theory drop straight in as chassis takes the f7 engines that the mk1 clios then used and the f4 bolts straight into the clio too

Yeah it's a very fine flake so doesn't look. ... s**t Lol !

Didn't realise you are an RB owner too chap, best colour! Nice work and engine bay looking clean now, huge improvement

Oh weighed the bare wheel too, 7.6kg

29-03-2018 Wheels Back Collected my wheels today from the powdercoaters, happy enough with them it's a decent job for the price and should last a while. I ummed and ahhhhhd for a while about what to go for, flat silver or metallic sparkle. ....flat would of been more oe but couldn't resist a...
