New headlight bulb needed then shoppers!

Are those my old wheels? (The orange ones)

What size are the willy's wheels?

**Bruce - BHPerformance** · 09-09-2011, 21:58

Oh and if you want a nice 2.0l 16v Megane lump and the adaptronic map for it then I have them.

Plenty of grunt and no turbo lag. Win.

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

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 13-09-2011, 09:34

As of 1st thing this morning the car has a fresh mot certificate...

Now to insure it and tax it.

Mate i would love to go, & richardo even offered me a cheap passenger lift in his car, but have work & moving house in early october which means lowish funds & charlotte would kill me if i went

**Ricardo** · 13-09-2011, 22:27

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

**cazerooadoo** · 13-09-2011, 22:50

Congrats on passing the MOT.

Looks good but definitely agree silver wheels would be nicer.

**James5** · 13-09-2011, 23:01

Do the wheels yellow

go for the rhubarb and custard look

failing that silver or anthracite would look awesome

**Bruce - BHPerformance** · 14-09-2011, 07:59

I love rhubarb and custard.

**Big Steve - Raider** · 20-09-2011, 21:03

Just seen this now! Nice one Penfold.... Hope you keep the faith with this one.... Dealer!

**jesus in the seat of a 5** · 20-09-2011, 21:34

two weeks that ll be on my drive.....

, well done buddy with the mot , as said change the wheels to black wily reps......

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 21-09-2011, 08:24

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

The defenition of "A while" in Penfold's dictionary:
A while

waɪl, waɪl/ [hwahyl, wahyl] noun, conjunction, preposition, verb, whiled, whil·ing.

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.

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 06-11-2011, 15:50

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

Is the paint just faded or ?? If just faded give it a polish, preferably with a da or rotary if you kno what your doing

Bonnett is faded & has bonnet pins in (want to remove them & go back to standard)
Bumpers are smoothed so looking to get OE ones
Pass wing & door faded (could be restored) with a pro doing the work
Drivers wing has what can only be described as a burn mark on ie:Somebody got abit happy with a DA

**gttjames** · 10-01-2012, 00:00

yer probably a rotary, takes alot for a da to burn through. 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

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 28-01-2012, 19:52

Hmmmm sexual

**Alastair** · 28-01-2012, 20:00

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 09-02-2012, 13:47

My set have arrived...

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 02-03-2012, 18:33

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

**philr5t** · 02-03-2012, 19:22
