Black R26 F1 - #1667

Discussion in 'New to the Club? Why not introduce yourself?' started by Topper, Aug 30, 2018.

  1. Evening all

    New member to the forum. Have owned my R26 for 6 months now and still love it and......

    nothings gone wrong with it.

    Standard at present but going in tomorrow for.....

    New brakes all round
    New exhaust
    New coilover suspension
    New tyres
    New intercooler
    Remap

    (but if the wife asks - it's just the tyres :wink:)

    I'm in Northants, if you see me around give us a wave.
     
  2. They'll be some expensive tyres on that bill...
     
  3. Advantage of using cash :tearsofjoy:
     
  4. If it's the same colour car when it comes back she won't notice
     
    Pondman and Topper like this.
  5. She might notice if she goes out in it for a ride :flushed:
     
  6. Are u changing the colour of the interior?
     
  7. What!? Nah, sound, acceleration & ride quality.
    My interior is staying stock, other than an up to dat double din head unit and upgraded speakers and plant of anti squeak tape oh and the odd sheet of sound deadening material :wink:
     
  8. No - it's staying stock exterior and interior for now although the garage have come back with their initial observations.

    Some of the nice to haves will have to wait until the have to haves are sorted.

    Here's the list

    • 3x Tyres Worn
    • NS & OS Track Rod Ends have Play in them
    • Front Discs & Pads Worn
    • Rear Discs & Pads Worn
    • Oil Leak from Sump Pan
    • NS & OS CV Boots Damaged
    • NSR Shock Absorber Leaking
    • Oil Leak from Cam Cover
    • Injector Seals Leaking
    • Cam End Cap Seals Leaking Oil
    • Brake Fluid Dirty
    • Anti Freeze Low
    • Front & Rear Spring Corroded
    I knew it needed some TLD but not this much, oh well.

    Any advice on what the best way forward is?

    New pads, discs and coilovers will fix some of the issues?
     
  9. Get smooth plain brembos disks. George rtr can provide them for 45 each for fronts.
     
  10. Thanks - I've just dropped him a message.
