LMAO technically you were overseeing the operation so its all your fault
but yes, by 11pm he last thing I wanted to do was mess around with bound & rebound setting lol
fitted my new rear carbon fibre spoiler this friday, was a MAJOR ballache as this one doesnt fit like the OEM renault one, the holes are slightly different. same with the cage from the same company, but hey ho I haven't bought from them and managed to fix both situations.
I dropped 4 screws into the boot, took me 3 hours to do a ten minute job too.
to top off a poo day Riad kicked the spoiler when I had it resting on the floor ready to go on, it chipped the lacquer a little but these things happen and it was an accident.
excuse the crap pics, had a reallllllly busy weekend and it rained dropping half the volcanic ash on the car today so they are all round rubbish!
its not that noticeable as the pics make out, I think the camera settings kind of bling it up a little when in reality its quite subtle if I'm honest.
impressions... well its bloody light, 1.5KG saving over the renault one I'd say. I keep thinking it will rip off at speed, but CF is very strong and if it flexes then its ok because formula one cars wings flex and that gives them better top end speed
its got rid of the centre hole that the OEM one has too, I wasnt sure at first, but its growing on me every time I look at it. Best of all I sold mine on and got this at a good price so it cost me less than a night out... I'll get some better pics this week when I fit the new induction setup and rip some more parts out.

yes you're missing something. its how i want it, not the masses.
RB 182 Cup
I obviously am as I've seen a few RSs with them (albeit Clios) about. I worded it quite strongly it seems, not my cuppa imo.
took the car to the lemans 24hr last weekend (big review to come this weekend) and what can i say... she was amazing.
pre trip i had the airbox out, refurbed it, tightened a few bolts and had the cage made to match the car
also had some part worn dunlops put on the rear as the mich's were tired and inside would of died in france due to the camber the V3's give.
big thanks to the tyre place in Nottingham, family run, very professional and cost effective, also told me i had small buckles in my rear tyres but new wheels soon so i'll grin and bear it... I fitted my vinyls for France which I made myself, I thought they stood up well... considering I payed nothing and did them all myself... sod paying £100 for a company to do it.
without going into detail on the french trip i'll just say the car sang, ate miles and not a single thing went wrong well one major thing did but i'll detail that below, and tbf it was nothing to do with the car).
cutting a long story short I had a new windscreen 4 days before I went to France, when I got on the toll road 30 mins into my journey I could hear a loud rattle/vibration, thinking it was something inside the car I continued on... it was only when i stopped at the services I realized that the trim had come lose on the top of the windscreen and was basically banging against the paintwork and roof of the car... realizing i was in france and had no support I could only gaffer tape it in, but the damage was done.
shortly after, in what can only be described as the worst weather I've ever seen a large crack appeared in the windscreen... i had to live with this over the weekend and It was a little embarrassing.
granted most wouldn't care but when you plan for months and a 4 day old windscreen fails at the worlds biggest motorsport event it kind of puts you down.... but everyone agreed it was a decent warwound
back in blighty, i contact my broker and autoglass and get told that 'a local guy can spray it or look at polishing it out'... I laughed and walked out.
After contacting my insurer direct and basically contacting trading standards and being advised by the small claims court, Autoglass have now agreed to replace the screen and pay for a respray/repair on the roof of the car... Its my job to now find a good repairer and invoice Autoglass...
the meg did 1600 approx miles, played with some exotica, turned alot of heads and struggled to hell in the campsite with the flooding etc but riad sorted that by sitting in the boot and raising the front
on the first night at the site i didnt get in to early and hence the pitch we had wasnt very flat... this ground tore my front splitter off and disconnected my front bumper, it also cracked my boot floor (which on the meg is plastic)
lucky for me i have a spare boot floor in the garden and i screwed the bumper on when i moved the car to another side of the dirt-track on flatter ground.. not ideal but hey ho.
this weekend i'll be getting quotes on roof repair and fitting the ducting into my foglight holes
oh and i also got to 'race' i mean erm drive down the Mulsanne straight and Arnage on the sunday night (best feeling EVER)
(apologies for the quality on the pics, photobucket has Massacred them and its the only uploader i use)

the parts breaking wasnt a biggy for me rob, the boot I have one spare, the bumpers been off more than jordans keks so i can live with its just the 4 day old windscreen, gaffer tape needed and autoglass's attitude until i got technical on them that pi55ed me off... but it'll all get sorted.
graphicwise I just sat in for a few nights with beer and dvds, kinda went for a 'ghetto RAF' setup... the NA is my initials and RA our kids.... turned alot of heads, even though i pulled them off on the last night as I wanted some pics on the circuit of just the car lookng as she normally does.
off to DANMAR in Wigan next week to have the exhaust reset and tightened too, so many holes in it now... although the popping and banging in every gear is addictive!
