Took some time to find the right rims for the car :)
Super happy
195 / 45 / 15
Michelin pilot sport 3
After all the headaches its given me, the car is finally in a great place
I am going to put in a silencer first before removing the map, but at the moment its insanely loud.
It was fun the first couple days, and its still fun going through tunnels on the way home.
But droning on the commute to work
So after a lot of uphill the car is nearly where i want it :)
Just did the drive shaft, Gearbox mount, Shock top mounts, tie rod ends,
Phase 1 dampers, new wiper blades, New Eibach springs all around,
Stainless steel straight exhaust, which i will likely add another silencer too
Pops and bangs...
What i miss about my 197 was the steering wheel,
it was nice and chunky, on my megane f1 the comparison was huge,

Following stuff done in the past 5000km
Dephaser n water pump
Injectors
Spark plugs
Fuel rails
New clutch
New gearbox
Rebuilt most of engine
Fuel pump

Put a RSTuning pops and bangs map on...
Morning everyone
still busy on this little project and it seems i need a steering rack ?
Does it need to be an exact same unit or do other renaults by chance use the same steering rack ? if not any recommendations ?
Yep all sorted :)
Might end up buying some extra goodies.
I always pay delivery costs, but some of the places just dont get back to you, and i cant always phone cause of the international roaming number charges.
Also South Africa is insane, 650 pounds just for the front shocks with an 8 week...
I was just about to come back on and say Kam Got back to me haha
Thanks very much for the help, and thanks for getting back to me, wouldnt believe how many places i've been trying to buy from over the past week and just nobody gets back to you .
@MRBILLYUK Thank you for mentioning KAM Racing
