What have you done to your car today ???

[StuOwen86]

Another frustrated injured tinkerer! I was knocked out after a fall at work on Thursday, still don't feel 100% but itching to get at the Clio again as the brakes haven't been stripped and cleaned after the last track day 😧

Haha yeah I hate it not being 100% had quite a bit too do as well on the car and on the house but all on hold. If you look a couple of post up you'll see the calipers that were taken off on Sat and replace with rebuilt ones. @MarkX

 

[Joew182]

Ordered carbon effect dash and steering wheel inserts yesterday, as well as finally ordering......a fabia splitter for the BG

 

[KitsonRis]

fought a losing battle with the tree my car is parked under. :rage::weary:

 

[Karlos182]

Nothing too thrilling for my Clio today - just fitted some new Michelin Stealth wiper blades from Costco and ordered some Xsara fan washer jets. I'm planning on removing my alloys tomorrow, giving them a good clean and waxing, and rotating them front to rear. The rear tyres are a pair of Exaltos that are 9 years old so they need wearing out on the fronts!

 

[British_Tommy]

Just bedded in my new DS2500 pads.... and remembered what a monster she is... (the car not the wife!)

 

[charltjr]

It's in for a total suspension refresh.

Nothing major then

 

[dajones]

Wired up some tweeters, my car is one of many 200's that didnt come with dash tweeters and wiring for them. Trip to local scrap yard and got 2 tweeters and plugs for £10 nice cheap mod with loads of improvements.

 

[fivepointnine]

Tightened up all the bolts/clamps on the exhaust, no more blowing mid-section now! And later on I might go ahead and paint up the fuel rail cover and that metal brace by the battery and ECU box, those are looking ratty.

 

[RS Charlie]

Well, my car is at BTM getting the belts changed. As for what else have I done to it? I gave the car a vacuum yesterday.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Front spacers on...



Couldn't be arsed to get all the stuff out do the rears.

I've also sent of the code to henk to get my unlock code for the RS Tuner

 

[MATTJRALLYE]

Got bored and decided to paint my calipers silver to tidy it up and sprayed my spare wheel to experiment with some colours as im getting the f1s blasted ...

 

[Mr Plums]

Love that mate that blue looks great.

 

[raviedavie]

Bought some primer and Matt black spray paint to do my grill..... Rock and roll !

Do some pics when you do it mate as I want to do mine

 

[Mr Plums]

Dont mate it looks s**t when it chips,get some good quality trim restorer on there, it might sound daft but the best thing I have found for the 1*2 grill is Maguirs endurance tyre gel.

 

[MATTJRALLYE]

Cheers, its Skoda Race blue metallic
looks a bit like mondial blue on the cup i think

I've got some of that! I just hate the grey look of the grille though. I'll try the megs gel mate cheers

It's got a lot of silicone in it, just like Back To Black, so it would make sense that you would get similar results, although the Meguiars is a gel so might last longer than traditional spray on stuff.

 

[tom172cup]

Found out it's been bodged by a specialist

 

[Will 172 Cup]

I collected my v6 this morning from SG Motorsport after leaving it there last Saturday to have the following work done:

Cam Belt change
Aux Belt change
New pulleys
New lower engine mount
Water pump replaced
New clutch & slave cylinder
4 wheel alignment
New discs and EBC redstuff pads all round
Goodridge braided brake lines fitted
Brake fluid flushed through and replaced with ATE Super Racing DOT 4 Fluid

All this work has made a huge difference to the way the car feels, the 100 mile drive home was great fun!

 

[dann2707]

Fitted 172 headlights

 

[benji93]

Fixed new exhaust hangers

 

[Matt e]

drained and flushed the coolant

 

[welshname]

Yesterday I spent the day searching for a misfire. Found it was cylinder 3, swapped coil pack, leads, plugs...still on the same cylinder.

Managed to get hold of a couple of injectors today which I've sent my Dad to go and get so I'm just about to start removing the old ones ready for him getting back.

I would of used C4 trim restorer but previous owner has sprayed bumper with grill attached so it's covered in blue overspray. Will try spraying and if looks crap I'll get it carbon dipped

Swapped the injector and all is well. Thank god for that.

 

[Diagro]

Fitted a set of Wishbones.
These are special though, Made for a rally car.
Black Powerflexed welded corrected and then Powerder coated all over.

Was a pleasure fitting these.

No more creaking when i apply the breaks and also for some reason no more wobbled and vibration on the motorway at 80

 

[sabian92]

Had the coil pack and leads done to cure a misfire... which it sort of still does. Still got a lumpy idle.

Oddly though, my MPG has managed to go from 46-ish to... 51.3! Keep in mind I'm a driver for Domino's so this is all stop start stuff. Had to drive like a proper old man though!

 

[josh11490]

Removed a sticker from the back bumper, Ordered fresh number plates including smaller front plate and also a new head unit and adaptor for steering wheel controls.

 

[sfacey]

Service ready for its MOT this month!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Started my wheel refurb

I'll get a progress thread up soon

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Be interested to see your thread.

Had poly Bush dog bone fitted and one of the scienic mod shifters fitted. What a brilliant addition to the car!! Can't wait to give it a proper test!

 

[Will 172 Cup]

Fitted one of my new seats this evening:

(iPhone Picture, so not great quality)
Hopefully I can get the passenger side fitted tomorrow.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

How the vee didn't come with these as standard I'll never know. Good choice.

 

[GrahamS]

Filled it up with fuel for the second time this week.
Took delivery of a new rad, coolant, turbo and a few other bits.
Tried to get the A/C working but failed again.

 

[iacabu]

Spent a few hours cleaning, polishing and waxing this afternoon. Finished just in time for the rain!

 

[StuOwen86]

Fitted a new set of CL RC6 ready for Oulton next week. Need a stud kit, wheel bolts are doing my head in lol.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just fitted 10mm rear axle spacers. What should be a simple job turned into a nightmare due to a rounded torx bolt. Sorted it in the end though! Cheers @Josh_F

 

[McGherkin]

New headlights

 

[dann2707]
