decent, the billies are very good all rounders and even on the woeful roads on the hills around Derbyshire she copes pretty well. its a little bouncy compared to the daily 182 on H&R springs/cup dampers but its lower so to be expected.

and pic of it looking all shiny under the petrol station forecourt has made me look over the paint and decide....its not that shiny up close so think once I sort new front wings and get the side skirts off, painted and cleaned behind i'll treat the car to a proper buff to really bring her up...

My Andy of the Snap has refurbished two wheels for me too, although I am currently running the Sabelt wheel I think i'll chop and change as I please with them. As ever Snappy's work is second to none and proper chuffed to have the wheel part of the puzzle all squared off now :) had one done...

nice write up, and nice to see another one being looked after :)

cheers chap, Bilstein B14's are great for this as you just set the rear without the adjuster part of the platform in there and then match the front and its pretty much bang on everytime. although i think the front needs to come down another 5-10mm to be perfect

Few more just for good measure, can you tell I've missed this heap :love:

I murdered my iceberg, I'd of done it again too, that thing was a heap, lol Popped to see Danny at wraggasport this evening for some odyssey action

ah think i read it as 864 not 5 due to the snow ,lol

120k and off the road for 4 years, hopefully not dead

@ajrai agree, for me in the phase 1 its the colour that suits them best. I am obviously bias however

Nice spin out this afternoon to the mot station and a pass with distinction, good times

MOT passed today with flying colours

Great write up as ever matey, lovely stuff

Hoovered, new mats fitted, engine cover back on and new bumper with new fabia splitter all fitted and good to go. Just a wash and some fuel and she's ready, oh and refit front plate when some velcro coins show up this week! Cheers Ben

Nah be fine, I run f4r in my track car on full slicks and Gerrard's at Mallory proves no issue on stock baffles and 7800rpm limiter

As above, the ad08's are more road orientated. Get some Dunlop direzza or original version r888's for a more dedicated track car. Or cage it and get some full slicks for extra points

Right, decided about time dug this out for a spin soon. Since the mx5 sold last month the car is insured again, so mot booked for next weekend. Today decided to rip the old bumper off to fit newly painted one and at same time clear the usual crap out the arches behind the liners etc. So up in...

Happy 210 Thursday

what a heap, still loving it and I will buy one to enjoy the same pain :)

Gave the heap a wipe over too, cleaned inside and engine bay and fitted the night breakers from @imprezaworks , cheers! Cheers Ben

Just before lunch at Mallory, whilst negotiating the hairpin, I heard a metallic clunk and ping, but it down to tyre pickup as when I checked the car over nothing obviously amiss. Drove to welwyn garden for work and back Monday/Tuesday and tonight just had time to swap back off the track pads...

So did Mallory Park on Saturday, car didn't skip a beat all day again and despite the age of the tyres managed to get some grip. Weather was kind aswell, lovely all day. Mates k20 converted mk1 dropped a pulley on the aux system when I was in the car and spun us out when it overheated and spat...

Love all the phase 1 resurrection threads, old or new. Frankly as much as I love my RB the phase 1 is just closer to a proper clio

Oh for sure, still sought after by some as a rare part so keepers all round

The more I see the 16's the more I think they look over wheeled. 15" suits the phase 1 better. All the scrap looks excellent though, hoarder next door to the extreme

Ditched 🤪

Mallory Park on Saturday, weather was perfect for first trackday of the season and the little RB lapped it up all day. On track pics will follow when available

loving this thread, each post is like awaiting the inevitable alfa doom

Clios smoke from the engine bay on idle... From factory

Did you manage to peer through the window and check which number it was :unsure:
