What have you done to your car today ???

[scotiamr2t]

Dropped it off at SWR to have it it checked over and a few things done.

 

[Jekyll]

Had tyres fitted and made brake ducts.

 

[Jekyll]

 

[Mariusz]

Changed the oil and air filter. Both were grim

 

[Jekyll]

Damn bro, that be black yo!

 

[RIC172]

Fabia splitter and acoustic valve removal on my 182 today (popular mods I hear). I'll soon do the fatty induction kit too

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Investigated a strange noise that I had on the clio....turned out to be a loose wheel...

Also swapped the upper engine mount

 

[Impuzzable]

fitted recently acquired Monaco colour matched dash trims, gear knob insert, and flat matched door bullets (all spray shack). Pleased with the look!!
Also fitted a Monaco matching "Royal" retrimmed steering wheel (temporarily) as the original is off to snappy soon for him to work his magic! All fun easy stuff today.

Wow, you was lucky!

Also, I take it your old mount was shagged? Any noises you had before you changed it?

 

[Tommo.]

Bled my brakes using the MityVac kit. Very impressed with it, made bleeding the brakes so simple and the pedal feels great now.

 

[N4TH4N]

Washed it! Wheels refurbed too.

 

[mikeclio99]

Fitted stainless steel exhaust including sport cat

 

[Clio_fool]

I hate this thread, it makes me feel so lazy. Oh wait, I am[emoji38].
Warm all week when I have no time and now it's wet out when I planned to do the exhaust brakets. Think i need my garage back.

 

[Mr R.]

Had the clutch, flywheel, gearbox and diff oils replaced.

 

[mikeclio99]

Smashed my windscreen when the bonnet blew up

 

[Clio_fool]

Pulled the washer pump and trimmed the rubber valve thingy. I now have the squirts front and back. Also cleaned all the bits that nobody willl ever see, well while you're in there why not? :smile:

 

[clc0608]

Cleaned her.

Replaced a centre cap. 4 for £8 off eBay and then hand painted with Halfords touch up paint. Beats the £20+ each Renault wants!

Then decided to undo all the cleaning, and went for a drive.

 

[Mr R.]

Gave it a wash after it looking like a rally car......

 

[azzaw93]

Acquired this beast

I fuckin love GT4s! Needs bigger wheels but that is lovely!

I will be after a second set of wheels for semi slicks but I think 17s are a decent fit.
It is abit of an animal compared to what I'm used too, and the noise is epic haha

Welcome. A proper car. [emoji41]

 

[azzaw93]

Not a bad idea! Will be very slow going though!

Welcome. A proper car. [emoji41]

I've been lurking for a long while after owning a 172 cup a couple of years ago, mainly return for the funny pictures thread haha.
But yeah after a string of not so aggressive cars (1.6 mx5 eunos, 4.0 v8 soarer) it was time to get something abit more me haha

 

[DannyR]

I'd love another GT4!

 

[Mar172]

Taken the car in for a big service

 

[scotiamr2t]

used it to commute as i've now sold the daily, now but was surprised at how frugal it was when driven normally.

 

[Mariusz]

Put my car in for it's MOT, passed first time :up:

 

[guysy]

^ I spent the evening last night checking over most things, cleaning bits up pre MOT. checked most things bar the xenon washers.

Knowing my luck it failed on the N/S - it worked but with not much pressure, I've spent the whole f**king day trying to get the jets as they are leaking anyway, but as an afterthought I changed the dedicated pump for the xenons. what a ball ache ! I cannot believe it wasn't just an advisory. I needed the car on the road i.e. passed today.

 

[jamesycc]

*yesterday
new steering rack and powerflex purple rack bushes. New discs and pads all round. Just need to tweak the tracking and bed in the brakes and then fingers crossed pass its re-mot...

 

[Perry]

Washed and polished it and drove it yesterday, which was also the 8th anniversary of buying it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Polished with duragloss 105, running out so need to find a seller

 

[197.]

Took the throttle body off to clean and washed/re-oiled the panel filter. Such an easy job that even someone who isn't mechanically inclined, like me, can do it.

 

[imprezaworks]

One of my first jobs I did years ago, really easy. Didn't tempt fate after that though, lol

 

[Mr R.]

Did my first trackday at Bedford.

 

[imprezaworks]

NOW!!!

 

[Mr R.]

NOW!!!

I'm fucked mate, I'll sort it this week if it's any good.

 

[imprezaworks]

How did you get on? Surely your cleaning ocd would have been off the scale lol

 

[Mr R.]

Lol, I'm sitting here watching the TV with the wife thinking about how dirty the car is....

It's going to have to wait until the weekend for its wash.

It was good mate, car was spot on and not one bit of brake fade all day from the Performance Friction pads.

One bit of bad news it seems my turbo seals have gone, rebuild time and time to billet but it's come at a bit of a bad time so may have to wait.

 

[dann2707]

Made and fitted my custom dash panel with switches. Really happy with it
