oh sweet, did you get RS monitor back on there?

I think if it was there before hand it should come back with the right settings. I can get you a copy of my settings later today

Made it to work and back with no issues at all. Drive is lovely 😁 Someone else also decided to drive their retro to work, so I had to park up with it and get some pics

Been putting a few test miles on the car. Luckily the steel wings were easily manipulated for a little extra clearance. Car rides super smooth on the big tyres and the speedo is only 5mph out vs GPS. Little bit of scrubbing on turning but it already did that anyway. Stoked so far, just need to...

joking aside do we have a rough date for tickets to go online?

Went for a little drive this morning and picked up a few bits. Potentially a chunk of it will go on the 8..... lets see where this goes

I was starting to look at meg 4manifolds and turbos as an upgrade to mine too... i think the meg engine runs a fair whack of boost though?

gave the car an oil and filter swap today, along with finishing up the brake pad change. Will try and get a video up regarding the new exhaust soon too (y)

well done for going into this to try and sort the issue. be very interested to see if its fixed long term.

Little update on the interior of the car. Gone for an 8 ball gear knob (matches the name and the 8's on the outside), ended up drilling it to suit and then using some epoxy resin to fit it in place. Happy with that. Also managed to bag some Alcantara covered dash trims and top. Covered by cobra...

I stink every time I work on it

good spot, could well be stock then

has it had a full boot replacement? not seen one with a trim on the bottom of the boot. where is it located?

no, its a cat back system I fitted

3inch dp and front pipe, de res pipe and stock backbox.

For some reason the exhaust got held up for 3 days in France, but, it turned up today. Nearly a week and a half of driving the mk2 Fabia VRS. Think I put more miles on it in that time than I have in the 6 months. Quality looks great out of the box though we will see how it looks after a few...

No such car as a renault 5 gordini turbo 1 or gordini turbo 2. Gordini turbo and turbo1/2 are different cars. One has the engine up front the turbo1/2 were homologation specials with the engine in the back

I was asked a while back if I wanted to be in a a YouTube video, with the car constantly being worked on it wasn't always on the road and available. Things aligned last week though and Will from Resto Revival popped down and we had a little chat.

there's adverts?

Ffs... if it's not one thing it's another.... so on the weekend it was noted that there was quite the exhaust rattle. Assumed it was the heat shields falling off in typical Renault fashion (they are) Driving to work this morning it seemed a tad louder, just assumed it was in my head. Driving...

Made a start on what was meant to be a quick job. New rear discs and pads. Though when I got there initially I found I didn't have a big enough socket. For future its a 36mm (cheers @DaveL485) Roll on the next day when I borrowed the correct socket, cracked on with no major issues bar the state...

So a little wrap up of the day. Top line power mapping resulted in pretty much the same peak power it already had (high 60s low 70s), all the bottom and midrange stuff was where we gained everything and not just on full throttle. Driveability is hugely improved and the engine itself seems...
