Selling some original mats I’ve had in the shed for years I know the drivers is very worn but seems these are very hard to find now so have put them up on eBay as maybe some use to someone...
few months back managed to pick up a pair of recaros for it , there not mint by any means but still look good in the car in my opinion
Done a few other little bits to the car as well like a pollybushed engine mount, decat and 3/4 plate . As I say though mainly just been enjoy the car getting...
Not up dated this for a while now forgot I’d even started it to be honest. Not much has changed on the car really just been racking up some miles and keeping it maintained. At the start of the year me and a mate had a trip up to Scotland and done the 500 we covered around 2000miles over the week...
Love it and the fact your doing it all properly. What happened to your old one did it end up getting broken for parts or did you manage to sell it as a hole car as was needing an engine if I remember correctly?
Did think this my self at the time mate. Tryed clearing it a couple times but it built up again so quick I just gave up and kept a close eye on the temp gauge:up:
As above at around 6 on Saturday managed to park next to it and grab a picture, seen the car around a few times but noticed today it had a cs.net sticker in the window so thought I’d see if your on here
Cars looking really good mate, Looks brilliant on the f1s especially being 16s they just make it that little bit different from others :up:
I’d be up for a local meet up some time to as I’m from the same sort of area as you lot
Yeah mate definitely a lot easier to take it out when you’ve got a lot of little jobs you want to do. It’s also a nice feeling when it all goes back together to know its been done properly :up:
The car also had a new comete drive shaft and two brand new mitchilen pilot sport 3s on the front for the MOT which was done last Monday as well as getting all the tracking set up again. I then had the remaining 4 days of the week to get a few miles on it driving to and from work before an...
Cheers mate , can’t rememberer exactly some bits I got through eBay, the wishbone polybushes were black series and believe I got them off someone on here but think they are around £100 new, the anti roll bar ones around £50 , steering rack £30 and the dog bone mount ones are about £40 I...
Just realised how many photos I’m uploading to the about of text however I’m trying to cover a lot of work here to catch up to where I am without boring people :up:
Now when it came to fitting the new cambelt and dephaser I had some help from a good relitive who has all of the correct timing...
Then set about sorting the engine. Removed the sump, cleaned and refitted with a new gasket as was leaking before
Also removed the cam cover to refit/ seal as was leaking
And refitted ,ensuring it was torqued down correctly with new cam end seals to avoid it leaking again
Also fitted the...
So anyway painted the front subframe and bottom arms as well as fitting the pollybushes to the bottom arms and antirollbar as I rebuilt it.
Also removed all the front arch liners and cleaned and wax oiled around the front end
This is all the pictures I got of parts but also got fresh gear oil , coolant, ATE type 200 brake fluid, genuine Renault front wheel bearings , fatty induction kit set up and probabley other stuff I can’t remember but you’re getting the idea:grin:
So I set about removing the engine and box from...
Full LUK clutch kit
NGK platinum spark plugs
Renault oil and filter
Gaskets sump plugs and washers etc
Brembo HC max front discs , ferodo ds2500 pads and rebuild front calipers
Rear discs were good so brembo rear pads
After using the car for a few months until the MOT ran out and with the cam belt being due I took it off the road to sort any issues and do the belt. Although I’m not very good at remembering to take pictures of everything here’s most of the stuff I collected.
Full pollybush set for the front...
