[Tom-173]

Completly stripped, corbeau buckets, roll cage in satin black, gunmetal grey inside.. Ph1 airbox, orbisoud cup racer exhaust, poly front windows, ktec coilovers... For now

 

[Breamy]

Another week down euro rates have improved a little as well.

Was Hoping to finish getting the car sorted today but weather looks like it's not going to help

 

[DannyR]

I've got a day off too and yet to open the blinds! It's sounding windy.

Need to get my rear spacers sorted ideally as too much camber. Do you think a washer on each too bolt behind the stub axle would be fine on the too to bring it out?

I can't see any problem my self but having never done anything like that before unsure on if its safe or not!

Also need to go to Halfords and get my broken bits replaced, the torx bits are made of chocolate.

 

[Breamy]

No day off should be bit early home. Day off =not earning
Halfords torx sockets aren't the best. I've got one that's actually twisted!
As of this morn the ring fund is officially full

 

[DannyR]

Yes one of mine is twisted and one is broken. Ones also in my engine bay somewhere as the magnetic bit in the holder is broken!

 

[Breamy]

I dropped a sensor from the inlet manifold into the bay last weekend. Took me an hour to find it. What an arse!

 

[DannyR]

I looked for the torx bit but its the same colour as everything and my garage lighting is crap! Inlet sensors aren't something you can just leave though, ha!

 

[Breamy]

Ye I've dropped a little socket before. So hard to see.
Car seems to be running better since I put new plugs in. Previous owner put denso iridiums in.
Changed them for ngks.
Only driven it once though since I fitted them. With this weather it's tucked away in the garage

 

[dmallett]

I had a Torx bit once, Rhys broke it!

 

[Rhys Beal]

I had a Torx bit once, Rhys broke it!

Whoops

 

[dmallett]

Whoops

It was pretty comical though!

hope the build goes well tonight, im still at work and im starting at 6am tomorrow ha

 

[Breamy]

well opened the curtains. its very white. No working on the car this weekend

 

[DannyR]

everything just feels good on it at the moment which worries me.

Remember when I said this last week?

Drove car out of garage yesterday and my less than 1000 miles shocks were pissing oil everywhere! FU Renault!

New one will be here Tuesday for warranty replacement luckily, but that means I need to take this off today, I've not looked outside yet but it sounds windy as f**k!

 

[Breamy]

Thats a bit shocking for an oe part!

Wish i had a double garage could work on the car in the dry then!

Hope next weekend is better weather

 

[DannyR]

I can just get up the side but could get behind to do the rear shock.

 

[Breamy]

Ye I have a bit of room to work on it but can only jack one side up.

Just ordered a roll bar mount for my go pro

 

[Breamy]

Well I braved the melting snow today as my drive was clear. Oil change done. Just brake fluid to go now

 

[Rhys Beal]

You lot are quite organised...

Today I removed:
-All brake lines
-Pedal box
-Servo and master cylinder
-Pas pipes

Then I have washed all under the bonnet and de greased ready for me to rub down tomorrow and Tuesday so Wednesday it can go for paint.

 

[dmallett]

I'm going back wards, got pulled and fined for my plate so that's £60 out of my ring fund!

 

[Rhys Beal]

They have got it in for you lately

 

[DannyR]

You reminded me dan, I need to order one. Gem got pulled for hers last week.

Was it PC Les-Amies?

 

[dmallett]

They do like to pull me as of late, my fault anyway.

It was a lady with Brown hair, I knew she was coming for me so I pulled over and got out. She was actually really nice bar asking if I do drugs flol!

 

[DannyR]

Lol were you looking tired.

 

[dmallett]

No I just look my usual self ha, apparently I smelt sweet then I explained all I'd done was eat coulliflower cheese and watch the formula 1 high lights, she must of thought I was a right **** tbh. She complimented me on how pleasant I was, but still fined me. Being nice doesn't work

 

[dmallett]

When I say sweet she meant sweet like a cannabis smell, need to change my deodorant obviously lol

 

[Breamy]

This is why I don't bother with the small plate. More hastle than its worth

 

[Scott H.]

I've had one 2 years and never been pulled, and I drive to Cambridge and back everyday lol

 

[dmallett]

I do about 4k a year, typical of my recent luck tbh.

 

[P17 TOO]

No probs with mine so far either but I guess it's got to be driven to be a prob!

 

[dmallett]

62days now i think, just seen theres still snow on the ring! Hopefully when we get there we hit the hot weather again

 

[DannyR]

61

Just saw that photo too! It had cleared up during the week, was watching some industry testing videos.

 

[Rhys Beal]

My car looks about as ready as the track..

[Rhys Beal]

[dmallett]

Rhys <3

 

[Rhys Beal]

I'm spraying the primer on tomorrow morning then my mate will top coat hopefully in the afternoon. Just going white.

 

[dmallett]

Still happy to see it progressing! I might head to rockingham on the 6th to watch the racing toastfrenzy/burpspeed should be there. If im not working you fancy it?

I also need to get that spare wheel back off you before the ring lol

 

[Rhys Beal]

I will be working hard on the car mate so won't make it. Want to get it all done asap so I can get a few miles testing under my belt before it goes to Germany lol

Will sort the wheel out

 

[dmallett]

No worries, ill no doubt be at work anyway ha.

ill swing by a get the wheel

 

[Breamy]

Got my gopro cage mount today and been out for a little play while it was dry. Car feels really good
Been thinking of changing it but then I drive it and love it again
