Isn't it sad to do/see? 😧

It's exciting really! It's not ruining a Clio, it's just changing the purpose of one

You can always put it back standard if you keep all the parts too

How many hours so far??

 

[imprezaworks]

Needs a pms shifter

 

[Matthew]

Are you weighing all the stuff you have taken out?

 

[Inequality Street]

How many hours so far??

Not that many tbh. It's really easy to do.

Are you weighing all the stuff you have taken out?

I'm going to weigh the sound deadening and the carpet/foam yeah. Not bothering with the trim.

I can't get over how much the carpet weighs! Mental.

I'm not scraping for every gram or anything silly though.

Fitted the Evol Race Dogbone mount at the weekend with help from @fairm010 - I was positive it was about 1mm too small 😂 but he managed to squeeze in the bolts.

No pictures of it fitted, so here is a floaty car instead

Rear arch liners removed and cleaned up underneith, haven't refitted yet as I want to buy new bolts for them.

Pretty gross under the front ones..

Whilst the front arch liners are off (and whilst I order new screws to refit them) I'm going to sort out ducting for the brakes from the fogs, similar to this (sorry to whoever a pic I stole)

Ordered all the bits, just finding time to do it now.

Still cracking on with removing the tar, just the rear to do now, then on to paint. Really enjoying this so far!

 

[imprezaworks]

Ryan do you still need these springs, in guessing not mate, which is cool.

Hey Dan,

I did promise I'd buy them, so still happy to mate. I have no idea what I'll do with them though 😂

 

[imprezaworks]

Will pm my PayPal mate


Not, lol. Probably just go the tip tbh

 

[Inequality Street]

Oh I also bought some silver hammerite, to paint my calipers. Will get the Mrs to do that, I hate doing that sort of thing.

 

[Inequality Street]

Ordered new bolts for the arch liners, and new clips.

Also ordered a blanking plus for the steering stalk controls for the radio, from the Kangoo.

Part number 8200050034 if anyone's interested.

 

[Mr R.]

I have new in the packet Renault plastic push in plug things for the front liners

Let me know if you need any bud.

Ah! I bought some of those on e-bay a couple of days ago, thanks for the offer though!

 

[Inequality Street]

Keep me going for a bit

Easy enough to remove the bumper? I'm looking at fitting washer blanks

Yes mate, first time I've removed one and was very surprised how quick it was.

Remove he screws that hold in the front arch liners, then two bolts on the undertray. Pop the sides of the bumper and and off it comes!

I'm tempted to paint the lip of the ducts white, but unsure if that's a bit OTT.

 

[imprezaworks]

Cheers. And imo no to white

 

[cpaterson76]

Looking good mate, keep the good work up:up:

Some RB n white motivation for you below.......Some photos of my mates build :smile:

 

[Inequality Street]

Whilst the bumper was off, I have spent some time sealing it with Tough Coat and dressing the plastics.

Will give it another coat tomorrow, then at the weekend give it a top coat of wax.

[Jekyll]

Just so you know, I took inspiration from this/you and have removed my fogs and I'm getting the same bass ports as you.

Much love and ideas fellow RB brother.

 

[Inequality Street]

Been a while.. This hasnt moved for around 4 - 5 months now. Fully stripped of everything, running just the upper flocked dash. Rear safety devices roll cage with Bimarco Futura bucket seats. Not installed the Harnesses yet as they're only 3 point, I want to go at least 4 point.

Getting a new garage door installed within the month, so this will be dry stored from then onwards, I can then fit my WRARB, Aero catches, light wieght door cards etc which are just sitting here at the moment.

Oh, it's now on H&R Coilovers too, and got a Sabelt wheel. I'm also accumulating alloys, having Turini's, Standard 182 and F1's.

 

[Inequality Street]

My car has a house.

[Mr T 909]

Hi what bolts did you replace the arch liner bolts with? Thanks

I haven't got that far yet, still arch-liner-less at the mo.

Getting there.

I'm only 50/50 on the sunstrip though, might be a bit much.

It's now also sporting a SafetyDevices cage, H&R Coilovers, Bimarco Futura buckets, Sabelt wheel, Whiteline rear ARB and so on.

Had the guys over this weekend (THANK YOU so much for your help BTW) @optical @fairm010 @dann2707 @Steven103 @jaswalker24 @Alistair14 - changes oil and filter, box oil, coolant, brake fluid, fitted the aerocatches, Anti roll bar, new Alternator with aircon delete, installed new subframes on the Bimarco's and so on.

Great progress!

 

[dann2707]

My boy!

 

[Louis]

I wasn't so keen when i saw the photo on facebook, but now i've seen it on here it's grown on me! Think if you have black aerocatches it'd look better with the white strip but awesome nevertheless.

Do your bassports need pushing in a little more? Offside one looks to be sticking out. Do you also know what size ducting/where you got it from please?

 

[imprezaworks]

Cs ftw. That looks spot on mate.

Nah on the sunstrip. Or maybe not white

 

[Scrooge]

Nice work Ryan, coming along well!

Yes bassports are sticking out a bit, they caught on something whilst putting the bumper back on, just need a good push.

I'm 50/50 on the white myself - Will leave it a bit and see if it grows on me.

Ducting was from eBay but haven't currently got it installed, 60mm I think?

Sweet cheers. I'll have a look and double check anyway.

I had photoshop open so had a quick edit, beats doing my uni work...

Surely the ducting would be 100mm Ryan, same as the bass ports?

Glad to see it getting worked on and the boys giving you a hand. Like others, not feeling the sunstrip colour. A darker or tinted one would look better imo.

Why you been quiet anyways?

 

[Bluebeard]

That sunstrip needs to go!

Yeah the general consensus seems to be a no on the white strip. It is a bit in your face I suppose!

And yes 100mm would be right, I couldn't remember the size lol
