Looking good Scott.
I remember you texting me about a year ago saying you want this car lol
Thanks bud, im looking forward to driving it again.
Hopefully in the next couple of months when the weather gets better.
Looking forward to seeing you again mate. :smile:
Cheers Arran, i have no idea mate. Hi-spec haven't got back to me yet even after i called them the other week and the guy saying he will chase the guys looking at it up for me as to weather or not the Monster 4's will fit under my F1's.
They still have my alloy bell and F1 and tbh i was getting a bit pissed off, after me paying Tom for the bells i wanted he kit so i could get it all fitted.
However my van that i use as my daily needs quite a bit of tlc, the cooling system is pressurizing its self, the cambelt needs replacing and the clutch isn't at its best. (it also has a few oil leaks)
So im going to get the van to my father-in-laws in the next few weeks and get the engine and box out, crack on and get everything sorted. The money i was going to spend on my brake kit is now going to the "Combo van fund" I've even been working every Monday as OT to get a few more quid together. :disrelieved:
If Hi-Spec do call then ill have to raid the kids piggy banks. (i gagging to chase Hi-Spec up as i want the 4 pots)
Just a little up date.
I bought a pair of new alloy pedal covers as mine where looking a bit worn.
Old pair.
Now i only fitted one as the black paint on the clutch pedal was worn in places, this could be seen under the alloy cover and i no that if i don't paint it then it will bug the hell out of me.
Ill get the pedal painted when i get some time then its just a case of pop riveting the cover on, ive also got to remove and clean the throttle cover and give it a polish up.
I was going to replace it but its only available with the throttle pedal which is expensive.
Next up is my steering wheel that i sent to Snappy, i sent snappy my original wheel that was on my car when i bought it but like every other PH1 it had fallen to bits.
Snappy had my wheel for a month or so but i wasn't in a rush as the cars not being used, last week i got a text from Andy with a few pictures of my wheel being trimmed.
These are the pictures that Andy sent me.
Wheel all stripped down ready for Andy to work he's magic.
Now as i wanted the wheel made thicker Andy had to trim the wheel twice, more expensive but well worth it imo.
1st layer of trimming on.
The stitching is perfect.
Looking forward to fitting it to the car, seems to nice to use but will finish the trim off perfectly.

Great update man. Your pictures are always so fresh too.

Car looks great! The attention to detail is beyond anything I've seen and it looked great at PFC expo.
P.S how much for your old pedal covers? :wink:

Not thought ablout one of the heel and toe pedals from the group buy? Still 5 left and they aren't expensive.
Cheers dude. [emoji4]
Thanks for the comment mate, unfortunately I've chucked them in the bin.
They aren't to expensive from Renault. [emoji3]
Thanks Mark, it is bloody nice. [emoji1]
Thanks Andy, its the little things that make a difference. [emoji3]
No bud, not really my thing. I'll just pop that one off and give it a polish up. [emoji1]
Do it Ben, i think its such a great factory looking but epic thing to do.
I should get it fitted on Sunday if i find time mate so ill get a few shots of it then.

Is alcantara a lot more forgiving than suede then for a steering wheel?
Love the wheel!
Annoying that you're getting messed around with the brakes.

Listen to the man! Buy a heel toe pedal, I love the design! You can keep your standard one too, and polish it til your heart is content, but you're upgrading the brakes, why not upgrade the pedal box to allow you to blip down as necessary whilst on those brakes
I haven't got a clue mark if im honest.
Hopefully it will be okay, as you know I do very little miles in the car and im always clean.
I guess that alcantara is hard wearing as they use it for seat's, time will tell mate.
Thanks buddy, yes it is a bit but at the moment maybe a blessing.
haha yeah, that's fair enough.
In regards to the wheel, I couldn't live with suede/alacantara. I too often drive with mucky hands lol. Would be black before you know it.
Not practical fr day to day use, but as Scott says how little he uses it, be fine.
I'd keep wetwipes in the glovebox though Scott, just encase haha

Scott doesn't drive it fast enough to warrant the bigger pedal!

Does he even drive it at all?

Barn find?
Its not going to happen mate, there is no point in me having a bigger padal. I can blip the throttle on the down shift anyway and i don't drive it mad enough for that left foot braking stuff.
Its not a race car and i would only end up crashing.
Haha, 30 mph is quite fast enough mate.
I try not to, its been 4 months so far.

With the new brakes they'll be no need for all that left foot braking lark!
Bit slack on Hi-Specs part tbh but as you said, its a good thing atm, moneywise.

At CSS this year I'll be all over it like a rash
So i was going to fit this tomorrow but as i had an hour spare i thought id get it fitted today.
So this is the wheel that i bought about 3 years ago, was never happy with it but it was miles better than the original wheel that was falling to bits.
