The new owner came a picked up the Tungston hybrid earlier.
Thouroughly wounded :( such a shame i had to get rid of her, put alot of work in but i guess things move on.
Hopefully the new owner will put as much time and effort in as i have!

I will be parting with the Tungy on saturday, so thought i'd pop out and find a good location in my new home town of Blackburn to take some final pics and have a final blast round the twisties......
Strictly speaking its not Blackburn though, Pendle hill, near enough :approve...
Are these standard on 182's?
I know on alot of other cars that your turn the light switch into a certain position. However there does'nt appear to be one on Anni's 182 .
Any help appreciated :)
Cheers

After the hybrid conversion unfortunately the tungy has been a little poorly :(. So she went of the Dr. Nick to have the timing set up and get her running right!
All sorted and is now running mint! Can't believe i even considered selling it!:eek:
Anyway got her back yesterday and treated her to...
:approve:
After a slight scare due to thinking the bottom end was nakered, and running issues with the new lump, alll 'appears' to be well the the Tungy now! Turned out that the adjuster bolts on one of the vernier pullies had worked there way loose causing some rattling and non running...
2000 X (one of the last?), from a dealer and its done 50k. They have told me its just had a major service and a cam belt with full Renault history also. Completely standard absolute minter!

After a bit of a road trip at the weekend, i collected thousands of bugs over my shiney paint :( . Excuse to give it a clean :approve:
Also removed my rear wiper in favour of a rubber gromet..
The 'Clio16v' will be ditched to make way for a carbon boot strip :D...
Thanks so Sam aka 'C.Slicker' for providing them! Loving this car at the mo! Hopefully secure a hill power engine by the end of the day too!
Planning a Ph2 upgrade to freshen things up and the turinis will be anthracite. So hopefully be a smooth looking rocket before long!
Thanks for...
These are going to have to be done soon. Was thinking by the end of the summer so there fresh for the winter!

Amir
So im nearly there!
Picked up the widetrack Thursday night, got it fitted saturday (Thanks to Brad Harding for lending a had :approve: ).
Was a big task with a few rusty bolts causing 1 or 2 problems but we got through!
Also lowered it all round!
Still waiting for my dam centre caps!
Anyway...
Wanting to paint my turinis, would like them the trophy anthracite colour, Does anyone know the paint code or a very similar colour so i can get them painted?
Cheers
Amir

I know that the Renault racing colours car Blue and yellow as on the F1 cars, the pattern on the seats and sticker on the door pillar on my Phase 1 valver.

Gonna be having my engine out soon to put in my other valver, gonna change the clutch and gearbox. Is there any trick to changing the clutch? Or is it a simple unbolt old and bolt on new?

Now, i have checked the fuse, its fine, put a multi meter on the pump itself and theres no power going to.
Anyome help me out?
Cheers
Amir
Well it was bound to happen after nearly a year and a half of trouble free motoring, she finally gave up :(
Looks as though some damp has got into the wiring and cause a shortage. Theres no power to the crank sensor therefor no fueling or spark.
So roll on tomorrow so i can get the damn...
