So does that mean i got to sit on my billy tod lol
Come on its not that far off (i think)
Ohhh yes, so you did! Best buy a ticket then.
Sorted insurance first thing this morning so I'm covered as of tomorrow. Couldn't get tax today so thats a job for after work tomorrow.
Had a windscreen fitted at lunch time
Which allowed me to put all the wiper mech, wash bottle, scuttle etc back on
Got some brake fluid from Halfrauds (I love my new trade card!) and bled them through. This made the car driveable so I had a little go up and down the road, grin
Excuse the state of all the panels, they look terrible, but I had to get my priorities right and have it running first.
Front end is a bit low still, that needs lifting. The good news is that it drives
Back to work tomorrow so progress will slow a little, getting there though

Done about 100 miles in it now, all seems good. Such a good laugh and makes me grin like a kid!
With the pressure off for Oulton a little now that the car's running, I got chance to give the Megane a wash and put my new plates on too, i joined the T*PHY club
And glued the sunroof into the Clio. It was nice driving round in the sun without!

Yeah sometime soon, think we're about due one ^.
Chopped the 12" Mongoose tip off the backbox before and replaced with a bit of 2.5" stainless. I cut it to the same length as the standard tip and it looks a bit long I think, so will probably take an inch or so off at some point.
Got the RS2's on the front too and just about got them bedded in. Very impressed so far
Did the tracking this morning. I wasn't far out by eye, just a bit of camber needed taking off the one side.
Oil and filter change before wednesday and that'll about do it for Oulton. Fingers crossed

'Daz Clio Cup' on here has made a set of alignment bars which bolt together around the car, quite a riggy looking contraption but it works perfectly. Then put the relevant rim diameter into his spreadsheet and it gives me a figure for whatever degree of camber I want to achieve. 17mm difference top to bottom from vertical would have been 2.5deg, we settled at 15.5mm so slightly less than 2.5. Hope that makes sense, a picture would have helped.
