Another job ticked off, high level brake light not working, removed the unit, cleaned the circuit board with electrical cleaner and it came back to life 😀

 

[Alastair.]

Brake Fluid change today, painted the discs also, a-lot nicer looking through the wheels now.

 

[Stay Puft]

Discs look great! I need to do the same.. what did you use? Did you prep them before?

Next time you clean them, put some hydrate-80 or Jenolite on beforehand then paint them. They won’t rust through then.

Another job done, radio display bulbs x2.

 

[Alastair.]

Noticed a bulb out on the heater control panel last night so i got that swapped out today.

[Alastair.]

Nsf caliper has been playing up, binding etc. Got it swapped out for a recon genuine caliper, bargain at £36 deliverd! Sprayed the carrier to match. Will need to spray all the others now!

You can't beat a nice clean Cup, love it.

 

[Alastair.]

New front boots 👍

 

[Poopensharten]

Great tyre, they do well in winter if you can’t be fucked with actual winter tyres.

 

[Alastair.]

Managed to get the drivers front caliper and carrier tarted up to match the other side today.

Just the rears to do now.

Free Renault Sport rolling road day at CookSport, the old girl did well!!

 

[Ricardos]

Saw this yesterday, what a clean example of a future classic. Nice figures as well! 👌😊

 

[Krarl]

Healthy figure that!!!

Looks mint this, always give me inspiration to clean all my cars up... I never do but it's the thought that counts🤣

 

[Alastair.]

Rear carriers painted today, loads better.

 

[Adey.]

immaculate car in the flesh, love it

 

[Alastair.]

Out with the old bodged exhaust mount, in with the new.

Sorted out the drivers front sill on Sunday, alot better than it was. All the others are un damaged luckily.

 

[Alastair.]

New power steering switch fitted. Putting it away now until the end of the year, time to get the Porsche out and have some fun in that.

 

[Richyy182]

I think this weekend my cup is getting a good clean and a good drive!

 

[Alastair.]

Porsche has been put away for the winter, the Cup came back out today, straight through the MOT no advisories once again 👍

 

[imprezaworks]

Thought you had sold this a while back

 

[Alastair.]

 

[Alastair.]

Taxed it start of Jan, done about 150 miles so far, took it into work this morning for a clean.

 

[Alastair.]

Alternator packed up last week, only charging at 11.9V.
Managed to get another one, reconditioned valeo unit, same as the original one for £160 which was quite good i thought.

Very easy to swap out, 20 minute job tops.

 

[Bmac]

Looking really smart,
What paint did you use for the callipers, carriers and discs. I'm wanting to do mine and yours look really good.
