Sprayed the lower inlet.

Sprayed the lower inlet. View attachment 128944

What paint did you use for that. Looks really really good.

 

[Jekyll]

Just some etch primer and halfords renault iceberg silver.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Fitted my alpine head unit.

Removed passenger seat to remove the standard disc changer, and fitted a 2 channel amp in its place to power the front kicker impulse speakers. Had to clean that mess up first though!

Fitted my mats.

Fitted a "ktec style" filter. Sounds fuckin nuts lol

The whole thing needs a decent clean now, its filthy!

 

[Jekyll]

The IK sounds awesome doesn't it?!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Yeah, took me a bit by surprise lol

 

[Mike@Rentech]

New wiper blades and got a set of misting washer jets on order.
Brembo calipers from a clio 200 next I think.

 

[Jekyll]

Just need to tidy up that bay now James

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Just need to tidy up that bay now James :wink:

I know mate its awful. The rest of the car is just as bad. The previous owner had it for ten years, and it must of been parked in a field for the last 5 years of their ownership lol. There's all green moss in the boot shut, and its covered in weird black spots all over that nothing chemical wise removes.

Really nice stuff there.
The induction kit sounds fantastic doesnt it.
You can run the cables under the plastic trim to the left of the seat.
Oh ...and did you have fun running the power cable to the battery , absolutely hate doing that.

 

[Namod182]

Fitted these

Yeah all cables are under the trim now mate. I've cheated slightly with the power cable though. It goes to a spare slot in the fuse box in the dash.

Will run a proper cable to the battery when I swap the amp for a more powerful 4 channel one. I want a small sub running too. Take it that's a pain in the arse?

The little black dots are probably sap mate, absolute terror to get rid of but it will make the world of difference. I actually used TFR which I might get shot for but it worked and it looks the nuts now

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I'll ask in the detailing section see what people recommend

 

[JD_RS172]

Yeah probably best mate

 

[Rubicon_]

Mounted my kill switch, not the tidiest but does the job :smiley:

 

[gemma.l]

Put a new bulb in the 197 and still giving her a good clean.

 

[jamesycc]

Went to the French Car Show.

 

[Ills]

Lowered the drivers seat, adjusted the gearstick back so 3rd and 5th aren't such a long reach, fitted new handbrake cables, discovered I need a new NSR caliper and cleaned the drivers seat belt.

Just need to do the other side now!

 

[Mr R.]

Bottom ball joints on the wife's volvo.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Headlight refurb and a wash

Before

After

Changed the oil in my old mans Scirocco aswell

 

[The Russian.]

Gave it a clean,

Need a new machine polisher as my g22 has broke

Swirl city.

 

[Paulm73]

sold it !!

 

[Namod182]

Washed and used this great product....

The results are awesome...

 

[Mr Plums]

At 1st glance i thought you had a big dirty key mark and a dent on the door.

 

[KitsonRis]

Fitted new rear discs and pads. No pictures though as I wanted to get it done. Hopefully will sort out the awful humming noise of what I thought was a rear wheel bearing.

Tomorrow is to change the spark plugs and put the new painted inlet on to tidy the engine bay up

 

[hammytrumpet]

Had an annoying metal on metal sound on moving off and had a hint it was the passenger side mount.
Lifted the battery and yo ho the bolts where needing tightened, as they were not tight at all and hey presto it's sorted.
Also had drivers seat belt which kept locking and eventually it wouldn't come out at all. Had to take the whole thing out and work on it. Very interesting system in the mechanism. Jiggled about with the ball bearing and sorted. Also ordered a spare belt mechanism from renbreakers for £9.23 delivered!! Cheap as chips, just in case I haven't really fixed it.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Reached this... finally!

 

[Simmie]

I fitted a new gear linkage seal, aero catches to my boot lid, new towstrap on the rear & fitted a pms gear shifter kit too

 

[hammytrumpet]

Oh, and during the week resprayed the wheels ford graphite grey. Pretty pleased and much better than the white the previous owner did them. Nightmare to keep clean.

 

[The Russian.]

Both cars cleaned.

Love the twingo, so much fun.

 

[V6Dan]

Cleaned it yesterday and used it to kill as many bugs as possible today.

 

[cat171]

Washed it yesterday as it was hanging!
I might even get round to starting my refresh list at some point!

 

[ALD]

Pictures when finished but hope to get some good gains when fabricated.

 

[ALD]

Anyone with a high spec engine but still on standard inlet wth dyno sheet that might want to try out the above manifold when done?

 

[boomerbang2006]

Had rear brake discs and pads fitted earlier in this thread ready for MOT tomorrow....fingers crossed straight through.

 

[jamesycc]

Fitted 172 door cards to get alcantara in my life.
