What have you done to your car today ???

[birdhead123]

its halfords high temperature paint metallic black, its a nice colour slightly darker so the renault sport stands out once its cleaned up.

 

[Laine_16v]

Just to state the obvious it looks like a light metallic grey rather than anything close to black, is this my eyes / photo playing tricks or is it like that in real life, i only ask as i want to repaint mine this week and want to get it right first time

also did you use primer?

[Pops52]

Matched the inlets and refitted with new gaskets. Sorted the stealth exhaust so it actually a stealth again...

 

[scotty10]

replaced parcel shelf today no more 6x3s or whatever they were thanks to danny_172 for saying he had one to sell and was local and saved me a few quid if i was to get one from a breakers

 

[StuPh1172]

I cleaned up the headlights a bit, far from where i want the to be but much better

 

[Mark_P]

Today I got the manifold-centre section join on my exhaust sorted. Turns out it's been needing it for a while..... and the car seems too quiet now

 

[scotty10]

gave the bean a clean today first time since september

 

[Mark-F]

ordered some 2118's....

 

[Feates172]

Fitted a new battery and KTR induction kit. Then washed/polished/waxed.

And put new personal plates on, as retention was running out.

 

[rdoxenham]

Today, fitted silvervision bulbs, replaced crappy standard rear exhaust mount with prima racing one (awesome mod) and replaced my wheel bolts with TPI Polarised ones

 

[Laine_16v]

Fitted new spoiler high level brake light so it will pass the impending MOT!

 

[The Navigator]

Full auxiliary belt swop and tensioner / pulleys. No more pulley screech and the nasty power steering scream has now gone too. So thats everything done..............for now

 

[BeXE]

Put four new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on

 

[Joe#]

12 months road tax, and ordered a few nice parts

 

[Canary172]

Replaced the thermostat, cleaned up the throttle body and fitted a Pipercross Panel Filter. The engine now warms more quickly and maintains a steady temperature, and definitely seems a bit more responsive. Happy!

 

[StuPh1172]

I got my members pack through today so put the decal in the rear window and added rhe tax disc holder

 

[JonC219]

[danh90]

Dropped it off to get some booost!

 

[sbridgey]

I had a right faff with my car today, my recently fitted exhaust tried to fall off, so under the instruction of Mick I went to kwik fit (who are actually pretty good for kwik fit), they refitted my exhaust, I drove back home and it then fell off again, now the car is on axle stands until tomorrow when i can refit it all back together, and hopefully it wont fall apart again!

 

[danh90]

Went to quick fit who are pretty good. Then on the way home it fell off again?

That good lol

 

[danh90]

Kwik

 

[sbridgey]

Well Mick@Diamond said they were good, and to be fair, I went up there on thursday with him and them seemed to know what they seemed to know what they were doing.

 

[Flat Eric]

You not coming meet tomorrow then si?

 

[sbridgey]

I have no idea, all depends on if i can find a quick solution to stop it coming apart.

 

[MarcB]

Due to a few minor kurbing issues i got my front wheels powder coated again today.

Going to get the rears done i think so i can get them looking new again

 

[Clart]

i bought another one...

 

[JonC219]

Drive it for the first time in a week! Heel n toe for the win...

And now currently sitting in it using the RSTuner...and hoping I've got it right!

 

[Addicted]

Thought about washing it, decided I can't be bothered, gotta ring Fred up though to book in again!

 

[birdhead123]

spanners out again this weekend connecting everything back up to my replacement engine, just the new belts to fit and the 172 will be back on the road.

 

[UKBraderz]

The 182 got treated to an oil change, new PAS switch (old one was leaky) spark plugs, fresh brake fluid, Brembo discs & pads all round & a coolant flush, then I gave it a well deserved clean! Bloody needed it too.

 

[clio37]

I decided to upgrade the seat...

For my son

To this

Enjoy

 

[Greeny.]

Put gearbox oil all over my garage floor

 

[.LiamC.]

Drove it for the first time in what feels ages! Don't use it for work anymore as I'm only living 1/2 mile away, so took it out early this morning for a thrashing . Also popped to Halfords and got some trim dressing as some parts were starting to fade and go white in places. Also got some metal polish for the exhaust.

 

[Sam@NP]

Looked at it and thought I should probably think about washing it

 

[BrianB]

Fitted my koni dampers and pure motorsport top mounts/brace

needs a good wash too but that can wait
