What have you done to your Car today?

Two it is then.

 

did you not clear coat them after?

 

and how the fk do you get out that car with the width of that garage?!...unless you resemble Mo Farrah!..or get out the boot

 

Yeah course mate, needed 2 cans of base colour

Theres more room than you think

 

did you use 1k or 2k lacquer?

 

Just hycoat clear lacquer

 

Took Meg for a good run, that's what she likes best!
Bumped into this little beauty!

 

Spark plugs gapped, interested to see if I'll notice a difference?

 

Almost me, yes!

 

Car felt good today, it always does to be honest! Glad I've done it though.

 

What did you gap them to and what mods do you have?

 

Just a panel filter, will do some more over time. Gapped to 0.6mm on recommendation from @andrewjeffs, they were all at 0.7mm.

 

I do have Rsmegane.com sticker, that's quite a mod!

 

Hahaha! Yes man, I want one of those too!

 

Fitted black (very dark grey) diamonds and also plasti dipped the exhaust trim.
I'm happy with the result.

 

Had 2 Eagle super sports fitted today with new TPMS valves, only to find a crack in one wheel, so will now have to sit on my drive until I can find a decent used replacement

 

Refurbing swivel bearings ready for winter overhaul. Gives me something to do on lunch break lol

You have such a looonggg lunch break

 

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.

orderd a set of custom focal renaultspeaker set for my RS 225

 

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 in my opinion anyway.

Hahaha! Absolutely agree,I just was sarcastic

 

Watched it drive away from my workshop with its new owner

 

you sold the beast Ian?!!

 

Yes
Gone
R26 track car is now under way

 

Anyone on here had it?

That’ll give us something different to spin into the gravel I suppose

 

yes, Adrian (Castle combe 250) bought it

Always good to spin something else

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

I used a ratchet spanner, but it’s still awkward as **** chappers.

 

Mot today
Got the Williams out today for it’s yearly mot flew straight through

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.
