Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
Refurb looks good
You probably already know this, the top mounts are sided. Hopefully you know which is which but thought I'd mention it incase someone used your thread as inspiration to refresh their suspension and didn't know

Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
That S3 is a lovely looking car :agree:
Rebuild of the front susp looks good!

:agree: Nad the s3 is stage 2 custom map running just over 270 bhp and 280 in torque so does go quite well, was completely standard when bought it, only done 55000 miles now so low miler

Didn't know this mate as I'm going from phase 1 setup to phase 2 how do I know what side to put on ?
Nice one Trev hope your cool :agree:

Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
Right I need to find out what top mount was the gold one lol :confused: my mate welded a new bolt on one the other day think that was the black one ? Have look at some pictures
-
Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
They're different colours :laugh:
From factory one is plated & one is black
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...ight=Top+mount
Black o/s
Gold n/s
https://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthrea...ight=Top+mount
Pictures in there show which side is which, side by side they should be noticeably different, I was a little concerned you have two the same but can't tell from the pictures
-
Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
Cheers mate looking back at my pictures the gold one was the one with the duff bolt that my mate fixed so will put that near side :agree:
-
Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT

Re: My Electric Blue Renault 5 GTT
Instead of repainting one why don't you simply and neatly mark them up as drivers side or d/s and passenger side or p/s? I would still forget which side the gold one is, lol.

Ye my mate is always going on about him when his car comes into conversation, well when it's broken. He did want to take his there but the distance stopped him. The only maps I'm good with are the book type :laugh: so you've lost me. A bloke at work has taking his 61 plate audi (not sure what it is but it's red and very nice :ashamed:) and had no problems and another work mate will be taking his 10 plate skoda Vrs there soon so they can't be that bad. But hey what do I know :laugh:

What have you got to do to the arb? Mine is still off the car as I couldn't find the right inner bushes to fit.
