Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[Fletcher]

Sounds like you've talked yourself it that job Chris

Fletch and I will supervise :rasp:

Sounds like a plan, Mel will have to some bacon rolls again

If ure talking about nick172cup, his are bolted into the floor iirc.

Ive got the omp subframes cos im a shortarse and like to sit a bit higher

lol Dave.

So the OMP ones will fit ok then?

 

[Christopher.]

i think its just best if we get your recaros out asap and in to mine then we can worry about yours at a later date (if ever!) lool

 

[Fletcher]

[Will.]

How do you plan for it to stand when you bring it to Combe Fletch?

The seat/s will take between 10-28 days to arrive!

Hopefully have a Revolution and Harness fitted by the 9th though Will.

Gave the car a good clean on Sunday.

Rinsed
Citrus snow foamed
Wheels cleaned with Bright wheels non acidic cleaner
Clayed
2 bucket method (Megs Shampoo +)
SRP'd
EGP'd

Removed the RENAULT and Sport badges.

I removed lots of the stickers at the rear of the car, and took off the H&R ones I had front and back (as they had gone manky) I think it looks a lot tidier TBH.

A pic Matt took of the rattle bus last night.

I also had confirmation today that my Corbeau Revolution has now been despatched, so should be with me tomorrow I just need to sort of a Sub-frame for it!

 

[Christopher.]

looking good mate, need to attack the tar patches still tho in the back and spray it me thinks

Yes mate. Not sure if I am going to get another Carbon Kevlar or GRP passenger seat yet. It depends on what I think of the Carbon/kevlar when it arrives.

Urban Cammo

Yeah great picture

I went for a blast with Tim on the way back from the Southampton meet, and had a great drive. The car running very well ATM (touches wood) :approve:

 

[Christopher.]

They look immense Fletch, we will try our hardest not to scratch them. But what are you gonna do about a passenger seat for all us who want rides ?

Did you get any bolts or screws with them ?

Tim <3

Cheers Chris.

I'll have to sort another one out soonish.

Two bolts in each side of the seat, that the sidemouts fix too.

Have you got some bolts for the OMP sub-frames mate?

 

[Silent_Scone]

very nice seats them, get it fitted!

 

[Christopher.]

Yea il nick some from work mate. Hopefully have my new wheel fitted by the weekend

 

[Joah]

I have these same seats ready to go into mine, shame mine arent exposed weave like that tho (and like said mine are slightly scratched too), very sexual.

[Christopher.]

Your R26 does handle well for a big barge Tim.

I had to stop at Shell in Winnall, just after you joined the M3 mate, as I was running very low on fuel..lol

What size is that wheel matey?

You need 2 x 3.9Ω 0.6W resistors. Bought them from Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/1-ohm-to-8.2...sistors-341668

Hardly a barge it's not much bigger than a 197/200!

Not surprised you were low on fuel think we drove about 30 or 40 miles criss crossing south west Hampshire! Good job I'd already filled up because I averaged 19mpg!

[couzens]

fletch where did you get the seat from? really want a set of these, but £400+ for each side is going to kill me! haha
