Hey peepz!!! i have been on and off with my car for a while and havent been really interested in it to be honest. But i need to get back into the swing of things so heres a little update enjoy:


i finally had my ARB kit fitted today, an all i can say is the back end is definatley stiffer. Im hoping to get out tommorrow just for a little run to get used to it.

Looking good and plans so good to!

 

[one in a million]

Ha ha thanks dude!, it has been sitting next to my fish tank for months on end lol, I will let you know what its like.

 

[one in a million]

FINALLY!! i have been after a set of turinis for a while now but they've always popped up at the wrong time. Today i have finally got round to picking them up thanks to B4RK3R on here. With the help of Mark (Dr jekyll) who has kindly donated his time and effort of putting them on and he has also helped me spray and clean my engine bay and it looks much better. Anyway the pics are to come later tonight.

Once ive sorted out all the pics i'll upload them on here. The anthracite turinis look good on. We also did the upper inlet and fuel rail guard in a satin black and i tried to be a little creative with the "renault sport" emblem. Really pleased with the way it came out but above all, chris is happy

 

[Kieran..]

Can't wait to see chris!

 

[Wick]

PICCCCCSSS!!

 

[Jekyll]

Uploading as we speak. And i got the colours out again! lol

 

[Rob]

[Jjay]

Chris i see this every time i drive through orp and still stare at it

 

[one in a million]

cheers guys, lol yeah jay thats where i live now. At me other halfs, been sitting around for ages an now its time to get back into the swing of things and get it on the road more. thanks again for the comments

 

[Jekyll]

As Chris said above he finally purcahsed some turinis in anthracite today. We had arranged to meet up today to get he's wheels and paint he's engine so after we picked the wheels it was back to mine, with a sneaky burger king breakfast along the way lol

Old Vs New

I got Chris to do the easy bit while i took off the upper inlet and fuel rail guard

We noticed he had RS stamped inlets too

Got the brillo pad to clean the cam cover and inlet, throttle body and rail guard which all came up really well tbh

we then gave it all a coat of heat temp satin black and stopped for a bit of lunch

After lunch the paint had dried so i thought i'd try and be a tad artistic lol

All the new parts

All fitted. Chris is now a happy chappy

 

[Jekyll]

Should work now, stupid photobucket

 

[one in a million]

yeah lovely mate, they all work now, i hate that photobucket! O an just for everyone to know, your see a pink flowery ironing board in the garage and YES it is marks hehe

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks for that

 

[one in a million]

lol, sorry someone would of spotted it, you know what these eagle eyes are like on here.

 

[HartZ]

loving what you have done in the engine bay. Havnt seen it painted like that before

 

[one in a million]

thanks. mark and kate certainley had a good design on the colour choice, its satin black just to clarify with you all. thanks for the comments.

 

[Kieran..]

Much better chris!! Any more plans?

 

[one in a million]

yes mate, next month is to change my new tyres from me old black wheels to my turinis and have the tracking done. Oil change will be needed, plus i need to sort out my window as it clunks on the way down which sounds nasty. Last but not least, a set of sportlines just to level me self out as its just a wee bit high, but just want to keep everything subtle and standardish. future dream would be to get myself a cup spoiler as well.

 

[Wick]

Looking epic dude! Tidy's up the bay a treat and the wheels look spot on!

Mark, lovely ironing board cover :rasp: nice garage as well. Bet that is a touch in the new place!

 

[one in a million]

thanks sam im well happy. marks living the dream mate, his even got cupboards full of sweets and JAFFA cakes. not that ive been nosey or anything

 

[Kieran..]

what you gonna be doing with the 182 wheels chris?

 

[NFox]

Love what you have done with the bay!

 

[Jamie16v]

Love what you done with the engine bay. Looks like a clean car!

 

[one in a million]

thanks people! as for the wheels keiran, they will be going up for sale shortly, unless you know someone who wants them brother, then i can hook you up with a deal, considering you helped me out on the suede boarding, its only fair. but the wheels will be advertised soon, an only the alloys will be for sale, not the tyres on them as their going onto my turinis soon. hopefully.

 

[Kieran..]

Pm a price chris and I'll see what I can do

 

[one in a million]

anyway i ordered a set of mintex discs an some ds2500's pads for my car and had them fitted today, i havent had a good go on these yet, as i have driven 100 miles today making sure there bedded in nicely, any way im looking forward to it. So heres some little snaps. O an the wife traded in her mazda 3 today due to drinking petrol, so she chose a mazda 2 sport instead and my o my, what a lovely car. Enjoy!

An our latest addition to the family!

The blue one in the background was the old one . good bye !

Anyway thats all fokes!!!!! thanks for looking

 

[one in a million]

Had a good go in the car today, and i must say the brakes are such an improvement over my old ones, an i must add that i have currently clocked 33,000 today. No doubt the mileage will be climbing once i start my new job lol.

 

[Jekyll]

33k!! It's not even run in yet!

 

[Kieran..]

Jesus didn't no it was that low milage lol

 

[Jekyll]

Chris AKA One in a million/Miss Daisy! Lol

 

[one in a million]

lol ok cone head enough of that lol, yeah low mileage just how i would like to keep it, an then one day it might be worth money lol

 

[one in a million]

Latest update, I eventually got annoyed with my hazey looking headlights, so I plucked up the courage to buy the kit and give it ago. Here are the results of before and after

 

[Wayne-G]

Looks sooooo much better! Where did you get the kit if you dont mind me asking, mine need some serious attention lol

 

[one in a million]

Ebay, was 19.00, I could get the info for ya, if you like.

 

[stevescort172]

Can get of the 3m website, its where I bought mine was pretty cheap I think around 13quid, also be surprised if they weren't on ebay

 

[jesus]

Good effort on the headlights!

 

[Chi]

Headlights really set it off, looks like a new car..
