Mondial 172 Cup OEM+ / Rolling Resto

[Bleu]

OEM dust covers/bump stops fit fine on fronts. Rear dust covers not so much, on mine one has fallen to shock housing other stays up. Have asked two others who’ve had these, they didn’t have issues but personally would see if you can find a suitable aftermarket option before fitting. Haven’t had time to look myself yet but sure there’ll be an option that’ll fit and work appropriately.

Looking at your pictures again, you only get front shocks?

What springs are you going to use?

Thanks 👍

Yeah, front shocks only, I've got a set of GAZ adjustable dampers for the rear. Already running eibach sportlines on cup shocks at the minute so will be re-using the eibach springs

Got my new seat thanks to @Maccy for sending it on to me, it's a Driftworks branded Cobra imola, I don't love the DW branding but for £140 I can live with it Vs spending £640 on the cobra nogaro Ive had in my watchlist for ages.

I'll see how I get on with it at CSF, if I like it enough I might black the logos out with some fabric dye.

Also picked up a PMS shifter and a set of scruffy 182 wheels with AD08RS tyres on out of the classifieds.. I'll get the AD08's put on my turini's and probably move the 182 wheels on as I've no real use for them.

Really need to get my finger out and start fitting some parts but the landscapers have stuck a skip and two pallets of flags on the drive so I can't open the garage door 🙄

Done a little bit to the car today as the landscapers weren't around needing access to the skip.

It's done 1000 miles since the engine and box went in so I've dropped the gearbox oil and put some fresh millers crx oil back in it, took an age to fill it as the only clean hose I had was about 6mm ID

Then I dropped the engine oil and fitted the oil cooler

The hose is secured to the rad bracket with a cable tie for now, but I've ordered some 20mm P clips so I'll be able to secure it to a threaded hole in the alternator bracket when they arrive.

I'm pretty happy with how it looks, can't really see it behind the bumper other than the one AN fitting, I should have bought black but the red and blue ones were on clearance and I love a bargain.

I've gone back to a 5w-40 oil too, rather than the Total Quartz 10w-50 that was in it before, it had a little bit of lifter tick on cold start with the thicker stuff, and I don't think it'll need the thicker oil with the oil cooler stopping it from getting too hot. The tick has gone again with the Fuchs oil in it.

I also spotted a little coolant leak that I've nipped up on, it had lost a little bit since I filled the system initially, so I'd put a bit of UV dye in it a little while back and spotted it today with the black light.
