New rear badges fitted to No63 at the weekend - front end to sort next.

 

[Brigsy]

Looks great Nick. When weather gets better need another ride over to the motorist to catch up.

It's a shame the Renault day at the Motorist is so early in March - not sure if the weather will be good enough to get them out Jon.

Didn't fancy the new years special? Was like a bog on the videos I saw 🤣

 

[Clio_fool]

It kt like the Renault days attract any more any other day there 😂.

 

[gavinf91]

Every time I’ve been it’s been dead. New Years special and the Sunday after looked like Glastonbury.

 

[NickReilly063]

Lovely day to get No63 out of the garage yesterday - gave her a quick polish and a little drive around the block.

Not seen her outside since I meet Jon(Brigsy) and Andy (Andyr1) last September

Also just fitted a Genuine rear Renault wiper arm - only things I’m not replacing is the number plates as there the ones it came with new - rear has never been removed in nearly 18yrs.

If anyone requires any steering wheel / gear knob protectors seen me a Pm and I’ll post them out.

 

[Clio_fool]

Just think of all the muck behind that number plate 😂. Besides that it looks brand new😍.

 

[gavinf91]

Must be a Bradford car if it’s from Sunwin with a YB plate?

 

[NickReilly063]

Yes Sunwin Renault Bradford - Old chap bought it new from them before he part exchanged it with us for an Astra.

Paid £12995 new.

 

[NickReilly063]

Just got a new daily driver - it’s still got a bit of Trophy Red on it - Roof - Mirrors - Callipers.

Sorry it’s not a Renault Guys.

Also when did hard work car cleaning get called detailing - is it an age thing ??

 

[NickReilly063]

No63 is now finished finally - new splitter / fogs / badge all fitted tonight.

New plugs with gaskets / pollen filter / oil pressure switch / 02 sensor from my old manifold and a slight adjustment to the other one in the cat -

I can honestly say it now drives like a modern day car and is smoother than my JCW which says a lot.

If anyone is local or passing it would be awesome for someone to drive it and give me there opinion to back up my feelings on it - no wet days though ??

 

[Stay Puft]

That’s gorgeous!

All i’d add is a set of clean plates and raising the exhaust a tad. Top work, well done!

 

[NickReilly063]

I’d love to change the plates however the rear one has never been removed in the cars 18yrs - I think that’s how the original exhausts hang but I will look into it -

 

[Brigsy]

Looks awesome Nick. I wouldnt mind a passenger ride in it to see what oem sachs are like.

 

[NickReilly063]

You can drive it Jon - I trust you ??

Can I have a passenger ride in yours though when we catch up next time

 

[Brigsy]

Cheers mate! I Just want to see what a stock one is like. Wont rag it as im not that kind of test pilot these days.

Your welcome to passenger ride in mine. Itll be taxed and back out next month..been dragging my heels a bit due to dieting and low energy levels😆

 

[Louis]

Clio looks awesome now Nick, did you have it out today? Weather's been a bit peaky today and yesterday.

I've been meaning to pop over to get a drive in the JCW! Would be happy to give it a drive if you'd trust me. You can drive my rusty heap aswell if you want a completely different experience 🤣

 

[hopgop1]

Looks awesome mate, a real credit to you.
How are you finding the tyres? I had P Zero Neros on my previous 182 and felt they didn't inspire nearly as much confidence compared to PS3s. That was over winter though so perhaps they're better in the dry.

 

[NickReilly063]

Yep had it finished tonight Louis - taken off the K-Tec splitter and replaced it with an original one.

JCW is always parked up at work so anytime - going to order the tuning box so I’ll let you know when it’s been fitted

Wheels got done last week - all 4 diamond cut - and new 330mm Brembo front discs with pads.

 

[Clio_fool]

That looks amazing, better than new! Taking it to the motorist for French day on the 17th?

Probably take them off and put a set of PS3’s on it - it’s taken 2yrs to get the restoration done so not really driven it far yet.

Hopefully I’ll make it up there weather permitting

 

[Mr Underhill]

Just stunning 👏🏻

Thanks Mr Underhill - means a lot coming from the master of Clio restorations

Nice of you to say but mine’s looking filthy underneath compared to yours. 🙈

 

[Krarl]

Considering the first time I saw this car it was a bit run down and just generally neglected it doesn't even look like the same car anymore!

Proper credit to you Nick, it looks exactly how a trophy should look

 

[Louis]

Ping me a message when you've got it out Nick and I'll pop by after work.

Saucy! 😆

 

[NickReilly063]

Had a little time today to clean under the bonnet of the T .

I’m hopefully going to get up to the French Day on Saturday at the Motorist - is anyone attending ???

I'm going up if my car hasn't melted.

 

[Clio_fool]

@NickReilly063 were you at the motorist today? I was in the cafe and spotted one right in the corner but by the time I got out it had gone!

 

[NickReilly063]

Yep I got there at 9.30 and left about 12.30 - Shame I missed you -

Not a great turnout today

 

[Clio_fool]

Yeah I got there at 12.15 not much to see by then but was a nice first run out in the car after nearly 6 months.

 

[Brigsy]

Spotted on the motorist page on fb Nick, looking clean as usualWould have popped down but in Turkey for 2 weeks.

 

[NickReilly063]

Hope your both having a great time in Turkey Guys - I’ll catch up with you soon 👍

 

[Clio_fool]

Piss poor excuse really. 😂

 

[NickReilly063]

I've just bought a Stable Mate for No63, Renault Megane RS265 - Demo plus 1 owner who has done only 11600 miles -

Unfortunatly it's not a Cup car and has got the Full Leather Electric / Memory / Heated seats not the Recaro's - so maybe on the hunt for a LSD gearbox and then paint / refurb the caplipers in Red ???

19s - electric folding mirrors - sat nav - upgraded 3d sound - Renault Sport Red design pack.

It really is a Minter which is what atracted me to buy it however it is going to the bodyshop for a full flat and buff.
