    Love cleaning cars that have been waxed tho is so easy.
     
  7. Washed, polished, interior hoovered and shampooed!!
     
  8. Cleaned it and got it prepped for the footy tonight!!

  9. I bought Rimbands :-)
     
  10. Why, have you fitted them yet, and if you have, are they all still on?
     
  11. I keep them in boot so far. Still thinking about possible tyre pressure issues, as I experienced it with Alloygators.

    Not sure if I will fit them.
     
  12. Got my .R spoiler fitted much better

    Thinking of putting it on a canvas
     
  17. Had a Scorpion non res fitted at Revolution in Gateshead, top service from those guys
     
  18. How much was it mate
     
  19. I kerbed alloy very badly.
     
  20. Having this fitted today [​IMG]
     
  21. Stu

    Fitted a set of Mintex M1144's to the front, so much easier with a set of Mr Pink's Pins!
     
  22. The aircon regassed but found out there was a leak when I got home despite the garage testing and saying their wasn't. It's on the black pipe at the front. Easy/cheap replacement?

    I adjusted the front bumper and on removal discovered a Forge intercooler I never knew I had.
     
  23. Had it on the rollers to be truly disappointed :worried:
     
  24. What was the results?
    I remembered the disappointment i had when i put my Clio Trophy on the rollers.
    It had ITG Maxogen, decat and straight through and it only had 160 bhp.
    Gutting
     
  25. It's had an rs tuning stage 2 map producing 270bhp, with intercooler, exhaust, Manley con rods, ARP bolts.

    Today.

    239.4bhp, something isn't quite right
     
  26. Who's rollers , maybe their out
     
  27. £485 fitted for the 250 / 265
     
  28. Rollers at ripley, all the other guys figures seems spot on. Mine 35bhp under and 50lbft.
    They can't be that far out.
     
  29. Dont compare brand against brand. It just wont work.

    Stick with the same type , eg Dyno Dynamics.
     
  30. I was meant to of gone on those rollers today
    Cliosport guys
     
  31. Both dyno dynamics chap.
     
  32. Does it feel like its lost power
     
  33. It feels quick and doesn't struggle picking up speed at all.

    I'm going to get Paul to check over it.
     
  34. Finally got round to fitting my front tyres which were in desperate need of replacing although they were legal in tread they were getting very low and my os front had a noticeable bulge/bleb which wasn't a pleasant experience as it had me avoiding fast roads and driving like miss daisy for the last week or so :worried:

    Whilst they were being fitted I had a chance for a nosey around as you do :smile: checking the usual suspects coil springs, cv boots, links and track rods.

    Bugger now got another two items added to my ever increasing todo list :worried:

    Very slight play in ns track rod (not enough to of caused premature wear but earmarked for next few months along with obvious tracking afterwards. I'll probably do both track rods at the same time as usually the other side wont be far behind and the brake pads are getting very close.

    Ordered the pads for next week as there more urgent just hope those pins when introduced to hammer and punch don't put up too much of a fight :smile:

    At least I have peace of mind with the tyres now and time to finally stretch its legs :smile:
     
  35. Re-aligned my front bumper. Which is the shittest design, and I can't seem to stop the corners popping out!.
     
  36. Got my car booked in to garage for Tuesday.
    knocking coming from drivers side front, again.
     
  37. I would usually say the heat plays a big factor but 50lb down. Boost leak, recirc, actuator...etc get paul to have a look
     
  38. Quickshift by Andrewjeffs, as well as waiting for my order, for PH2 rear lights, and Renaultsport Gear knob!!
     
  39. Took this shit off!! What a waste of 99p them mirror covers were!!
