  23. You have such a looonggg lunch break :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:
     
  24. I got rid of the rusty old shocks and fitted a shiney new Bilstein B12 Pro kit.

    Then fitted the recovered alcantara steering wheel from Royal Steering Wheels.

    Painted the door handles white to match the rest of the car as I didnt like the silver.

    Replaced the drivers door check strap. 74e6c042b75e525d8936405280b33675.jpg 8edc5a73ed76e92b0c09a1c35a7703d0.jpg 2b4879f00c407e99f86f670d659e38a8.jpg e44b4c74f93eee07cf0a91c607af9e45.jpg 5a511537d885c77293a3ef324288bc05.jpg 936191b6c74f0a2b82f0de99bf707cbb.jpg

  25. orderd a set of custom focal renaultspeaker set for my RS 225
     
  26. Previous owner had fitted IKON 90 deg intake hose but not the air filter pipe so decided to go with the GT performance silicone intake pipe kit to compliment the black GT performance silicone coolant lines already fitted, looks nice :smile: in my opinion anyway.

    R26 track car is now under way :sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

  34. yes, Adrian (Castle combe 250) bought it

    Always good to spin something else :laughing::laughing::laughing:
     
  35. Well, you said bye to a black beast but say hello to another. I´m sure you´ll enjoy working on the project and a lot more when you finish it. Wait, I said finish? I forgot that word don´t exist in the RS world:tonguewink::tonguewink:
     
  36. I have always felt that the Mk2 was a better track car (for me anyway) will be doing a lot over the next couple of weeks, its already started.
    Powerfex engine mounts in
    Powerflex track control arms and anti roll bar bushes fitted.
    I've started to run the cables for the battery relocation.
    Refurbished the suspension hubs and painted.

    Loads of parts coming this week, so the engine and cylinder head will be taken to the engineering company too sort this week, then the engine build will start. :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

  37. Tried to fit my new ktec gear actuator with short shift. Couldn't undo the 14mm retention bolt on the side so gave up. Going to try a crows foot spanner and breaker bar if it fits.
     
  38. I used a ratchet spanner, but it’s still awkward as **** chappers.

  40. Looks lovely. Maybe a little low for my liking.

    What a great car.

    I remember seeing one pass me at a junction when I was in my 309 gti. Thought I would catch up and half some fun...... could not catch it. Fun trying.
