172 Cup
Well had the cup over 3 weeks now and I'm so happy with it.
Sorted some of the things that really needed doing...like a good service, feels 100 times better now, 2 of the plugs were nackered and it really needed new oil. Had the gearbox linkage lubricated too as 1st and 2nd was very stiff, much much better.
Also had the power steering sensor(?) plugged back in again, no wonder I was finding it hard pulling off and manouvering.
Got a new piece of plywood to go across the bottom of the boot too as the original one had sagged in the middle, now much neater and can hold weight better too.
I've also had the engine bay properley cleaned by a friend of mine....chemical degreased, pressure washed and dressed. I'm so happy with the results, it was a bit grim before.
It was Supaguarded before I bought it and the bodywork is immaculate which is one of the reasons why I bought it. So far I've washed it and topped it up with Collinite Wax a couple of times
The owner I bought it off wasnt quite as enthusiastic as the guy previous to him, so he didnt see it as his pride and joy, but looked after it reasonably anyway. Now its in my hands it will be treated very well
Anyway......here's a few pictures taken over the last few weeks, after washes etc and in various places.....also with my new Sony DSLR camera
Engine bay sorted..
Got the Cliosport Sticker on
And here maybe you guys can help me?
Myself and the mechanic I use (who used to be a Renault Technician and is now a Merc Technician) are quite sure the exhaust isnt standard.
Its a lot cleaner than the cat and the downpipes from the engine (suggesting its newer) and it seems reasonably loud. Dont get me wrong it makes an awesome noise but I'm pretty sure its not standard....sooo me being quite new to RS, I cant really tell which make of exhaust is which.
So I took some pics, What do you reckon??.......
Anyway I love the car and have a few more plans for it...some Sportlines hopefully, wheels refurbed in Silver (as standard) but maybe some sort of flake so they really shine, uprated front discs and pads, paint the calipers...and probably more. But keeping it reasonably standard
Thanks for looking
