Dremelled the new laguna top brake light into the v6 rep spoiler, tool all the clips and s**t off the back of the light too, next to get it painted and I'll get the bodyshop to fit the light perfectly, it's went well so far

With the light now fitting the spoiler i wet sanded all the marks out of the brake light and machine polished it up, looks alright now, to be sealed with gtechniq c5 soon

Great looking car mate, like mentioned beforehand - those Willwoods look the absolute business.
Don't think the Superturismo's complement them though? Not sure what wheels do fit over them, but I think some ultraleggeras/1.2s etc would suit the car better - or even Turini's if they'll fit!

Thanks man! I do like the superturismos but I'm actively hunting for a set of 15" ultraleggeras but they always come up in 16" or 16" superleggaras, on the hunt though!

Excellent, the refurbished alternator has shat itself, great fun

Got my original alternator refurbed and it isn't charging properly but would do for now... If that wasn't from the incredible heat and smoke pishin out of it, fuckin absolute fuckin nightmare. The guys at fgs are helping me out so much they've been life savers, super disgruntled customer phone call coming tomorrow for forth auto electrics, they still have the one that's being fixed under Warrenty but they'll be footing the bill for fitting this time

Sounds like a right ball ache pal. I hope you get a satisfactory result from them.

 

[benji93]

Phoned them today, the other alternator will be fixed today bit f**k knows how long itl last from these people

alternator being dropped off to the garage tomorrow, what a nightmare its all turned out to be since i'm working away till Friday then supposed to be driving to Runcorn for efi at the weekend, brutal! hopefully their third attempt at a refurb if sound

 

[benji93]

Got a text from fgs today, forth auto electrics delivered the alternstor to them... For them to find out that fae have fitted the wrong casing to it. BANTER, they've either picked it up or will be picking it up tomorrow and returning it, cutting it fuckin close for Sunday! Rediculous it's taken an auto electrics specialist 4 attempts to fix a fuckin alternator, absolute joke

It would appear 4th times the charm for the alternator, huge thanks to FGS for sorting out the whole thing, not all heroes wear capes!! Touch wood this ones all fine and I'm good for my trip DAWN SAUF on Sunday.
It looks like they've put the effort in this time as the casing has been sandblasted and it seems to have been rewound aswell. Thank f**k for that!

Interested to see what results you get with that mapping of the SM inlet

Awwwwww yeahh!! Left the car with Carl today and wandered the council estates of Wirral aimlessly all day, one step further! More on mapping tomorrow

It's been an emotional day, car ran 191.6ho and 145lb ft of torque at efi with the map, car soundsds incredible and has the littlest of pops when you come off throttle, the hp was a bit lower than I really wanted but apparently my cams aren't very aggressive, so I'll be replacing them with 197 cams at so e point and going back down, all went well, finished mapping, went to test drive and of course, at this point my alternstor died. So we sat for hours and the car is now on a recovery truck and we're heading for Gretna, to be put on another recovery truck and taken home, it's gunna be a late one.

Car is getting g dropped at fgs and theyll order me a shiny new alternator from Renault.

CLIO BANTER

At least the alternator waited until the nappies done before dieing again!
Is that 191 with just the inlet and exhaust? That's not bad to be fair, so you know what it made before with standard inlet?

 

[benji93]

And piper BP270 or 40 cams, which apparently aren't much better than standard, made I think 154who on last dyno run at GI motorzport, will be Goin back for another run for a proper comparison

A bittersweet result . Good HP for somewhat basic mods, goes to show the potential of the SM Inlet. Well done. Damn shame and about the alternator and your cracked splitter.

Alternator will be sorted once and for all with a brand new on from Renault, and I'm phoning up tomorrow to claim for the splitter, guy admitted fault and I've got everything to sort it out, hopefully [emoji23] that's me just touched down home, it's been a long day
