Haven't been on the forum for a while but it looks like you've been busy mate, great work.
Thanks Jacob, im looking forward to seeing how yours comes out with all of your plans.
Ta very much Chi. I take it you are going to Bedford?
Elo stranger, thanks Craig got to keep plodding away at it.
Thank you very much.

Got a phone call from the polishers on Thursday saying my exhaust was ready for collection. Shot over there on Saturday morning to collect it.
The link pipe was in quite bad condition and its not the best grade stainless so its not come out 100% but its good enough.
The other little annoying thing is that the guy didn't remove the rear box fixing band before he started to polish the back box.
When i collected it.
So me being me i had to take the fixing band and re-polish the box, i used 3M Fast cut compound with a orange pad.
The finish is lots better, just need to give the band a clean at work this week.
Ready to be fitted.
Don't think ill be using that pad on a car again.
Another job that needed to be done was to bleed the brakes and adjust the handbrake after fitting new cables.
I also fitted the front Hel brake lines and used the ATE Super Blue fluid.
My little helper, poor sod was out in the cold in his PJ's. Still his got to earn his keep...lol
Another thing is that the rear discs would fill up with water, this is not good as it will kill my rear wheel bearings.
A quick message to Adam and to covers where ordered.
Lots better.

That exhaust
Little bit mental, but i had the beam done which ment i couldn't fit the heat shields untill they where coated then the exhaust needed cleaning as it was looking old.
Bit of a knock on affect.
Elo stranger, thanks Craig got to keep plodding away at it.
Cant stop now lol.
Exhaust looks great, be good to see how long it stays like that for.
Cheers Craig, i don't think that the link pipe or the bit of pipe going into the box will hold up that well tbh (fingers crossed it does though) the quality of the stainless steel is not very good.
I do hope that the exhaust box holds up though, it should do as it doesn't get that hot and its quite easy to keep clean.
We shall see i guess.
Flol, it lives outside.
I might do something with the shafts if i ever take the g/box out to have a diff fitted.
No mate, i don't think there is such a thing in the Renault scene. I just want a nice car, although it will be nice if it wins something at CSS 14.
Most of the bits i have done won't be seen unless you get under the car.
Yours is looking great, i can't wait to see the results.

No concourse at FCS or Trax etc? I won a class at Modified Live with my Fez, if you stuck yours up on ramps with mirrors it'd surely win something!
Cheers mate
tbh its just a track **** really, the shell has a couple of parking dents, the rear bumper has a scrape and the front has a mark where whoever had it before me butchered it to fit a tow strap.

Deserves an award of something tbh.
Yeah I don't think the link bits are as good quality as the rest of the system from ones I've seen in the past.
Hopefully over time it will stay nice & shinny mate. I no my system didn't stay shinny for long after I bought it brand new & the car hasn't seen much rain or any bad weather since fitting it, just heat really.
I'm going to give it a coat of this. Fingers crossed it works.

Do you get scared to drive it, serious question not being an ass
Not taken in that way mate.
Hmmmm, the thing that scares me the most is if anything should happen to it. Im sure it wouldn't be that easy to replace.
If i take it for a blast then it always plays on my mind, "what if someone hits me". I don't drive it very offten and its never used to go to work in as i have my own van for that.
My misses also has her own car so if we are going out and about we use that, if its a nice sunny day and we want to go out for the day to the beach for example then we would take the Clio or if i go to a club meet.
It doesn't bother me if i get caught out in the rain as its not a show car, but i won't take it out if its raining as 1, Its no fun and 2, Other road users crashing into me.
I have it insured with Greenlight who have given it an agreed value which gives me piece of mind.
Ive owned it for 4 years now and covered 10,000 miles.
