I have had a clio williams then sold it and got a Subaru Impreza and spent a small fortune on it but with a wedding coming up I thought I would come back to hot hatches always had a massive soft spot for them owned a few now xr2,r5 and really forgot how much fun a little frech hot hatch could be...
In the last few days drove to street for Dan@SJM to do my belts and pulleys which he did a amazing job on car feels so much better.
Then decided to try some of the demon car foam which worked really well car looks really clean now
I did my lights today as they were really bad started with them looking like this
Then lots of this
Makes them look like this
I am over the moon with how well they came up.
My brother in law had one when I had the Williams In a straight line I would lose big style he would just waft past me then on to silly speeds while I was bouncing valves out the bonnet.
But when it came to a roundabout or a really tight road it was a lot more even.
Thank you mate I have the car booked in for this Tuesday coming to have the work done.
Dan can you give it a once over when you have it as well to make sure it all good?
I am going to leave it standard mate after the money that was spent on the scooby my other half will kill me if I start to spend money like that again (might get a cheeky exhaust on it as the one rattles like mad)
I am expecting it to be different when I get it back as I know it's not running...
