Little '09 Refresh

[Coby.]

OK so most know how the car looks etc but a quick pic of how it was as I have not taken any clean pics for a while

and how the Engine Bay looked

OK so firstly I finally decided to get round to putting the Stickers that I got from ADY182 ages on as i sprayed the Parts Last Summer -

Top Quality Stickers and tidy up the inside a bit and follows the Blue and Anthra Theme nicely,

Another thing I should have done 6+ months ago was fit my New Gear Gaitor Surround as the clips broke on my old one bloody ages ago -

also the car was coming upto cambelt age and miles so new cambelt and my radiator had started leaking so new radiator aswell

4 New Toyo Tyres all round aswell -

Took a trip to Powerflow who made me up a straight through Centre Section

they also put a flange on the end of my decat and cat to get rid of the crappy belled end design and no blows and it strenghtens up the system nicely

I also finally got round to putting in my new shiny engine cover bolts of Davo172

and bought a Mint Ph1 Airbox at the Lakesidre Meet to replace my tatty version so put that on today and trimmed up my Samco for a better fit

oh and also did a spot of weight saving LOL (I think they were the brackets for the Ph2 Airbox or something

Poor Pics and nothing special but just thought I'd update you with what I've been doing,

Also had Olly-Mango Setup my Coilies for me as they were too hard and slightly out on heights so a big thanks to him aswell and installed the RSTuner 98 RON map to my car (Thanks to Gregg for doing it) so the car is running much better than it has in a long time,
I also removed the CAF Trumpert and Fitted a Std Uncut lower grill but no pics of that yet but you know how it will look,

To come -

Waiting on my Matched Inlets from Jam-Sport
Picking up a Set of Cobra Daytona's Next week which need a lot of work
Connects2 coming with the Seats so can have the iPod in the car
New CF or Cup Splitter will be purchased ready for the summer season as my CF one is cracked to hell

Edit - Front Bumper and Bonnet respray required aswell as incredibly stonechipped

Cheers
Andy.

Cheers Fella.... Yeah I'm trying ot go back over the car and tidy it up as I do tend to rush into things and then leave them 75% Complete :dapprove:

 

[Hixle]

Looks great mate, love the 2118's and the stance looks spot on.:approve:

 

[Ali]

I like it but...Still think the white works better for the 2118's.

 

[Coby.]

I know you do Fella but I struggle to keep the brake dust off Anthra's let alone White and I still think White works better on Mondial rather then Arctic

 

[Middo]

white 2118's on blue work well. but nice car nonetheless

 

[Guppy]

Loves it!

Looked good in the pics from the Lakeside meet

 

[Ali]

I'd like to see it in real life. Maybe it would be different. What coils did you go for? FCS this yr?

Should be at FCS this year yes if I can get it off work.

Its on Dirt Cheap GAZ Coils and I've been tempted to change but I'm now pretty happy with them thanks to Olly

 

[Ali]

Will have a wee nosey then! Gaz! Spits! Broke a nail fitting a set of Gaz coils!

 

[Hugo-]

Looks good....one part lets it down for me and that is the location of the CAF.

Other than that, spot on!

 

[scott1205]

how much did it cost for the mid section

 

[db]

Looking good Andy! Looks awesome in the flesh! I've been spending a little bit lately... all to be revealed.

Everybody has there secret Plans LOL

Me
Richy
Olly
and now You

 

[Coby.]

very nice car that mate

how much did it cost for the mid section

I had a New Mid Section, Flanged Cat and Decat and they Rewelded the Rear Mounting Arms to get the Tips to sit better and it cost just over £200

IIRC Christopher paid £40-£60 ish to just get a New Straight through Centre Section at JP

 

[db]

It's nothing major... the house is eating all the dollar at the minute!!

 

[Coby.]

It's nothing major... the house is eating all the dollar at the minute!!

True.... I'll start saving for a house once I have done a few more bits to the car

Laura wants a few more bits done to her car aswellso while she's spending I will aswell LOL

 

[Coby.]

Looks good....one part lets it down for me and that is the location of the CAF.

Other than that, spot on!

The Trumpet has gone and a Std Grill is in place now.... Will just run 2 Short Feeds down in the Passenger wheel arch once I've boughs some more piping

 

[Guppy]

You had the belts done? where abouts?

What's the mileage now?

 

[Coby.]

That Mileage was taken today but a couple of hundred less than that cos I had it done a week or 2 ago..... Timmay's mate is a Renault Tech so he did it in his garage for a lot less than most places

 

[Guppy]

Need mine doing!

Think Birchdown is the safest bet

 

[Guppy]

So whats the mileage?

 

[Coby.]

So whats the mileage?

Sorry forget to post the pic of the mileage - 70300ish ..... 58k in 2 1/2 Years by me

 

[Guppy]

Good man!

72k is what Renault advise on the belts is it not? Im on 65k atm so not far away

 

[172head]

Loving the engine bay mate, and the car...

 

[Coby.]

Loving the engine bay mate, and the car...

Bay will be getting a good spit and polish at some point but just CBA at the moment but before the summer I'll give it a scrub up...... My Strut Brace keeps getting the Under Bonnet Heat/Sound Stuff stuck to it Presume that's why Makavelli had the Shiny Stuff instead.

Ditto on yours fella except your bits will be here before mine

The ride height is just how I wanted it as its low but still practical

Excellent, standard grill is much better. You going to do your feeds to where the standard one is at the grill in the arch?

That's where i've run mine...
