    er! plenty of lag and no turbo springs to mind. stus 197 needed a kick up the arse out out of the hairpin at mallory

    Nice 1 Shoppers that looks good! Let me know when you want the cage sorting

    I think the wheels would look good either in anthracite or silver, the orange IMO don't give it enough contrast

    Congrats on passing the MOT.
    Looks good but definitely agree silver wheels would be nicer.

    Do the wheels yellow go for the rhubarb and custard look failing that silver or anthracite would look awesome

    Cheers for the comments,

    This car is going to be a keeper for a while as i will be using it as a daily driver come feb, hence after a 16v engine.

    Just need to sort the tracking and camber out & its all good. Cage will be going in shortly, then strip it out for a few local trackdays aswell

    Hopefully a ring trip in 2012 aswell

    noun

    1. A few weeks of joy & planning for a fantastic new Renault Based project. Explanation of what the car will be turned into and the big plans. Soon followed by a sudden loss of interest and a seeking to sell it on becasue of the next big idea/plan which is usually another Renault but can also be a House, Dog, Holiday, New Pair of Trainers...?

    A small update, I have purchased some Willwood 4pots with 172 280mm Brembo HC Disc with DS2500 Pads from BPD https://www.rtoc.org/boards/member.php?u=225

    The plan is to fit some Bike carbs on the 16v engine and maybe a mild cam.

    Bring on the Track days in 2012.

    Yes you shoppers.
    I'll sit down and work it out, let you know later.
    You or I will have to source a few extra parts, otherwise nearly ready to go.

    If anybody is interested in the wilwood 4pots let me know

    There is a chance the car could also be going if anybody is interested in a cheap 5, 16v with 9months MOT, front end would benefit from a respray (wings, bonnet, bumper, grill & windscreen surround) other than that a clean 5

Well theres loads of guides for da's/rotary online, detailingworld is the big forum for it, if you ever fancied it, yourd be surpised what you can do, cant find any pink to red cars iv done, this is what i did to a swirled civic, its a good picture showing what can be done

    I got some spare time this afternoon & decided to do something about my black grill...

    I had to repair 2 cracks, fiberglass & filler sorted that out, loads of rubbing down & have finished priming it, now leaving it in the airing cupboard to dry completly, hoping to paint it on sunday or monday...

    Am exicted about a few other bits I need to fit on the car next week....

    On another positive note car is now MOT'd, Insured & Taxed, after next week I am going to start using it on the roads
