SBV116's Renaultsport addiction, 172 cup content!!

[SBV116]

Well, after selling the 200 due to lack of use and having a fair amount of cash tied up in a car.... my not needing a car theory didn't actually last that long, about a month before i got the RS itch.

Picked this up through ebay outside of auction, 2002 cup, 2 owners, 59K last owner since it had done 10K.

Lady owner, not the best service history and never had any belts!

so it begins.... unfortunately didn't get any pic's before i raped it...lol!, thanks to gaz-kev who was my helper for the night!

Have a yozzasport race system on order with frederick, complete with decat, hopefully he pull's his midland finger out and get's the job sorted soon!

Gave the engine bay a quick wash, as it was grimey as f**k, removed the bonnet sound deadening and fit some sticker's to the grill, as it's had a bumper / headlight at some day and age!

Turini's off and goig for refurb next week, staying silver also going to need 4 x new tyres!

Sidestrip's etc are removed to be painted, had a box of bit's roll up today, new bullet's, cambelt, dephaser, rear discs and pads, filters, exhaust fitting kit, cam seals, type D, clear repeater's, etc etc etc!

Will update when i do a bit more, got some good plans for it i hope!:approve:

 

[Bluebeard]

Will you be sending it to angel works?

 

[Gray]

You just can't stay away

Sounds like a nice little project Kev!

 

[Gray]

Will you be sending it to angel works?

OUCH..... ouch

 

[SBV116]

Actually, it will probably be visiting the same industrial estate! But i won't be leaving it there.

Edit : Thought of you when i picked it up danielson, sold on ebay, lady comes to collect car...only got half the money, wanted to pay the rest in 3 weeks after payday....lol. Would have loved a daniel response to that!!! Hence i bought it out of egay.

 

[R-Sport.]

Nice-

A few quirks- but easily sorted in your workshop-

good luck with the new cup-

Steve

 

[Brian]

It WILL be nice, that much is certain.

Look forward to seeing it decent

 

[Brookie.]

Sounds like a good project.

Is the bonnet partly open, or has it had a bit of a bump?
Also, the RS badges seem to be sliding down

Look forward to seeing it done!

 

[p@blo]

This looked to be a nice solid project platform Steve, with what you said you had planned it'll be minty fresh!

Will enjoy following the progress on this pal

 

[Jonny1*2]

very nice. I thought from the first few pics that the woman was driving it round on steelies.lol.

 

[SBV116]

Done a wee bit more like, trying to spread it out over time, had a couple more hours!

The door mouldings and mirror cap have gone for paint at the bodyshop, and the alloy's are away for refurb and rear pad carriers are going to be powder coated.

Removed the rear arch liner's and bumper go give them a clean / refit them properly, the N/S rear arch liner isn't even the correct one.

after :

mans jetwash.....

Got some underseal / paint to tidy all under the arches / behind the bumper's up.

sample of what i am hoping for when properly dried :

Had a box of goodies turn up from renault :
Dephaser
Cambelt kit
Aux belt
Side repeater's (clear)
Front and rear cam seals.
Eaxhaust fitting kit, genuine not cheapo s**t.
Exhaust centre mount
Bumper stickers ( little black ones, bumper has been painted)
New silver bullets
Type D coolant
Elf 5/40 and filter

Expecting delivery of a yozza on thursday, had a phone call today and also ordered a prima rear mount, that should be here soon.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Claire called you then?

no warranty on your exhaust if you use that mount, IT IS NOT NEEDED ON A YS!!

 

[R-Sport.]

Make sure someone reliable fits the belts-

Happy days Steve, sad to see the 200 go but no point having it sit there not being used...

The 172 looks a good place to start a new project mate.

I'll be in touch in the near future, need a few things sorting.
