Good day today at Oulton Park, pretty slippy early on but dried out well. Lots of fun, good mix of cars, impressed with the Clio good fun, I was pretty tentative on the damp track (which is good as I got to drive home) but once it dried out towards the end of the day the car felt great and...

Sorted this so ignore it was to hold the cam setting bar :) Was a bolt I'd found in case you wondered.....

Thanks, they are not standard silver (I'm told) almost shiny aluminium colour :) done at Aerocoat, if its nice later will get a non clean but lowered shot then we can see if there is much different :) as it was a little high before

Cars been to Birchdown today, new belts and Dephaser, lowering springs fitted, gearbox oil changed and abs lock ring replaced, feels great on the drive back and little ride out this evening.

Ordered some bits I didn't know I needed :) will see what comes

I bought a car with part history, (similar to you lost service book) what I've done is get a generic service book and keep a record of what has been done in there, and then a folder with as many of the bills and receipts as possible. I'd look to use a specialist and keep receipts.

Dropped RB off at Birchdown for few a bits and pieces.

I took it as that :) :p

:) I didn't fit it but point taken :) is a Skoda one though

Our RB

I put in a pair of Hertz DCX130 2-Way Car Coaxial Speakers, nice mid range sound, no deep bass but better than what was on the shelf, I am only powering them off the headunit, I run a JVC headunit standard fronts and these in the rear it's acceptable, it sounds much better than stock with this...

Not chrome no not that shiny more polished aluminium so have a grey edge to then rather than a pure mirror finish. Really very pleased with then and work well with silver billets, exhaust badges and towing eye :)

New rear speakers fitted and fitted a parcel shelf with no speakers

:) Thanks ;-)

Couple pics of wheels, now looking for lowering springs needs a little drop I think. Replaced parcel shelf that had some speakers on that didnt sound all that with replacement head unit, local breakers had shelf and now it's in, not the most exciting modification ever but looks nicer in my...

Couple of jobs done this evening Towing Eye Upgraded headunit for a unit with DAB and Bluetooth for the phone and streaming music Wheels are changed but too dark for pictures maybe tomorrow if its not raining

Rare colour looks good, be sure to post some pictures post details.

Looks great, love that colour

Might add sorting that to the list but that would be a 2014 project ;-)

Lol :) yep good run back and can tell it's going to be fun, thanks also for a straight forward transaction and the answers to all my questions was all appreciated :) good luck with the new motor. RB will continue to be looked after.

Yes the previous previous owner did red and there is no other red on the car!! Odd, silver would look better i think too:)

Picked up RB today, all good drove back 70 odd miles 40mpg which was nice, first modification done new mats and an air freshener, few little bits to do want to get the cup wheels back on as prefer them to the black wheels and get the tyres sorted. Few pic up pictures. Drive nicely engine...

A sticky tyre thread would probably be good or an FAQ type article, I searched on tyres there is lot of detail in here, but it does depend also what you intend using the car for so would need a couple headings Track dry Track wet and dry Track wet Suitable for Track and Road wet and dry...

Thanks, and Yes is bonus two sets of wheels creates options :)

Agree, RB looks nice IMHO with white wheel but the cleaning burden is just too much :) something to admire on some else's car

Thanks does look high :) cup suspension too
