RS-1 Engine Bay Progress + Stuff

[RichMcc]

Aint posted anything for a while so since the sun was shining I thought I would document my progress, believe it or not I couldn't be bugged to clean it but it still looks shwing imo.

New Toyo's

Colour coded handles

DVD :rasp:

 

[Clio 1.216v Dynamique]

That looks spot on mate

 

[RichMcc]

Cheers, its no where near finished yet but its coming along slowly. Need samco's now but Ive spent more time fixing it than modding it lately

 

[E-ray_172]

looking good fella.

on the side it says you have a 172 stipped, how much you took out the car?

 

[dalla]

Looks proper good... Very nice work.

 

[Adam]

god thats shiney

[fUbAr]

how the hell did you polish the small detailed areas like that?

looks stunning... i got bored after 8 hours on the fuel rail cover! lol

 

[Dave S2K]

Superb, one of the best i've seen that!

 

[blue nose]

bling bling very nice matey

 

[Jonaldinho]

Very tidy mate, good job!

 

[caymanr26]

your doing my head in - each time I think Im happy with my engine bay I see yours again and start spending money! Please just leave it alone!

seriously though does look wicked- top job

 

[caymanr26]

heres mine at FCS today

 

[Maz]

Very nice .. how did you get it sooooooooooooo shiney ??

 

[RichMcc]

Hehe sorry Tim! I told you it had progressed

Theres much more work than meets the eye, the front fuel rail has been faced off so its totally flat with no bits sticking out, the top has been smoothed off so the small ridges are gone. The TB has been completley smoothed off, the throttle cable brackets polished and obviously the rest. I dont want to give away all my plans but trust me this is only the beginning
Should be mind blowing by next FCS

The car was stripped but I put it all back in to move house so I didn't loose bits lol.

 

[RichMcc]

Btw looking good tim, love the caps, cover and tank, I need those....git

 

[caymanr26]

thanks - have you painted that strut brace your self?

 

[RichMcc]

yeah it was mint but now theres a ding in it where it catches the bonnet

 

[caymanr26]

why does it catch the bonnet?

 

[pecan]

That looks amazing. Please don't put an engine cover on it! These engines look so much better without them, plus you don't want to cover up that bling!

Question: How do you polish the tight spots, like in and around the Renault Sport lettering?

 

[john.med]

yeah, how did you do that?

Looks great mate. Jealous, but wouldn't entertain the work involved.

 

[RichMcc]

I could tell you....but then I'd have to kill you :clown:





shaken, not stired

 

[GarethM]

[paul_h172]
