[Knuckles]

i need to see this colour in person. looks amazing

 

[200 Alex]

Well when is the next car show?

 

[roystinho]

Just read up on this, can't believe the gearbox, well I can, but I never had a problem. Even had it checked over to see if it was me not noticing...

Glad you're enjoying it

 

[200 Alex]

Just a photo-stitch to show off the colour a little

On the plans side, later this month I will be ordering H&R springs and 20mm rear spacers.

I will post when I get them

Peace!

 

[200 Alex]

Ordered today was H&R lowering springs and H&R 25mm per side hub centric spacers all round.

The springs will be with me tomorrow and going on tomorrow too.

Will post a pic!

 

[200 Alex]

Sorry to double post.

The spacers will be around 7-10 days. But I will update when they are going on!

 

[200 Alex]

So to my surprise, everything came today, even the spacers.

Massive thanks to Larkspeed who clearly went out of their way to get hold of some for me and get them delivered next day! Stunning service.

Anyway, quick pic. It's all getting fitted Monday at once so expect pics then!

I take my hat off to people who modify cars within the warranty period.

 

[200 Alex]

Thank you, sir haha.

I have a couple of contacts at Renault so it's okay

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Ideal mate, not so bad then.

A guy i heard of bought a Cupra K1 a few years ago, had it Miltek'd/re-mapped the whole 9 yards. 400bhp iirc.

The thing dropped a piston a year into the warranty, "ah hello Mr McC**tyMug, that'll be 5k for a new engine fitted..."

 

[200 Alex]

That would suck horribly. I'm only gonna do things I can afford to fix myself haha!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

It would spoil your day, thats for sure!

 

[200 Alex]

Can't wait to get the springs and spacers fitted now.

Should look top.

 

[200 Alex]

Got springs and spacers fitted today. Here are a few quick iPhone pics. I will take better ones later this week when she is clean!

And a quick edit on the iPhone. It's terrible but hey.

Comments welcome!

Rusty nuts?

 

[Knuckles]

Rusty nuts?

ginger pubes? :dapprove:

 

[Knuckles]

love it! white speedlines would look awesome!

 

[Jekyll]

Or TPI polarised bolts

 

[Knuckles]

andTPI polarised bolts

i like your thinking!

 

[200 Alex]

New wheel bolts is a good thought actually.

 

[Barnett]

Awesome looking car! However I've never liked the rear end of the mk3s, think it's because of the lights. get some of these on it and it will be awesome http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-C...io|Plat_Gen:MK III&hash=item589626a5b9&_uhb=1

 

[Gaz_]

Not a fan of the spacers, but a clean example none the less

 

[200 Alex]

I have thought about different rear lights. Don't know if I could justify them though.

 

[Knuckles]

facelift rear lights could look ok

 

[Barnett]

Yeah facelift rear lights do look better, but i saw a picture of the ones i linked fitted somewhere and they looked awesome, i'd definitely get them if I had a mk3, they aren't too noticeably different either

 

[Barnett]

Here's a picture with them on, ignore the chavy rest of the car and just check out the lights http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-C...hicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563bdc2337&_uhb=1

 

[200 Alex]

What do the facelift ones look like?

 

[Andy P]

What do the facelift ones look like?

The fog light was moved to the bumper so i don`t think the facelift lights will be any use.

 

[200 Alex]

True.

Next up will probably be ITG maxogen or a Y-Pipe and re-map.

Just after Christmas of course.

Hopefully getting my private plate for Christmas.

 

[Christopher]

Nice!

What size spacers?

 

[200 Alex]

They are 25mm all round, chris.

The ride is great and no rubbing so far you should see my driveway, it's pretty steep and it still didn't rub!

 

[Christopher]

None at all? H&R springs too?

Even when you're chucking it about?

 

[LIL B]

Ring times affected?

 

[200 Alex]

Nope not as far as I can tell.

And ring times? Wtf? Haha.

 

[Christopher]

H&R springs?

I'll order mine ASAP if so. I need 25's in my life.

 

[philmots]

Springs look good. Think the spacers look ridiculous! IMO of course.

 

[200 Alex]

Yup H&R springs and 25mm H&R spacers. You do need them.

Had this just pop up, is this normal when they are warm or have I lost a shed load of oil?

 

[Impey]

i think your getting low on oil just check

 

[dmallett]

In the time you took that photo and posted it on here you could've check the dipstick!!

Car looks very nice

 

[200 Alex]

I did check. It was low in the end, popped just under a litre in and the electronic computer is reading full. 3/4 of the way up the dipstick.

I'll have to monitor it over the next week. It was only serviced 6k ago which is a bit worrying.
