    Spoke to him on the phone earlier... Jobs a good 'un.
     
  4. Needs new spark plugs spluttering quite bad and bigger turbo needed.

    277bhp - 325lb.

    Completely different to be honest, with how it drives but still far from happy.
     
  5. Whats the issue other than plugs ?
     
  6. He turned the boost right up and just wouldn't let him go for it.

    New plugs and a bit more fiddling would have seen mid 280's.

    I booked mine in to get its wheels refurb'd. Colour choice is certainly going to be marmite but i think it will look awesome and will certainly make it stand out :wink:
     
  8. stripped out some more un-needed weight from the race car... for future reference don't ever offer to change the entire heater matrix fan unit.. mine came out in several uneven pieces.. afterwards (because that's obviously the correct order to do things) i looked through workshop manual and they say dash bar out which requires doors off haha only renault
     
  9. Going for the colour suggested on CS?

    Just back in for what is becoming a yearly tradition, An Easter Sunday blast over Dukes Pass. Quite a lot of decent stuff out today, Must be the 18 degree weather. Roads weren't that busy either considering its Easter weekend and the weather is cracking.


    Highlights include an E92 M3 at full chat coming the opposite way followed by a OG RS250 behind trying to keep up. Spotted my first 991 GT3 on the road as well today. Again giving it the beans. Immense sound. The highlight had to be the 993 GT2 though. Hero spec car and was being driven accordingly. I sometimes forget how lucky i am to live where i do and how epic the roads are here. Roll on the summer.
     
  23. split loom and removed all unnecessary bits

    polarised bolts
    new spark plugs
    rear silverline indicator bulbs
    Rear shocks
     
  28. I was out and about yesterday and saw one go through Kingussie. Also saw a yellow 250 parked up at a house there too.
     
  29. Booked the car in for end of month to have r26r spoiler fitted & wing mirrors painted @http://repairandrestorebodyshop.co.uk/ :smiley:
     
  30. Booked the car in for a service with Mike@Diamond Motors last week, bought some interior LED'S from EBay, glued the rear window sills down last night so hoping looks fine this morning

    Rob at Dominion?
     
  39. haha, how did you know?!?!! I saw a post ages ago on meganesport from him and been following on FB for a good while - as he's booked for ages I was putting it off, but now I've taken off the bumper decals I think its worth getting it done properly, then with the 3 day correction it seems silly not to go for a long lasting coating.

    He is the only one i know of down your way LOL, Top guy and does some great work. If i ever decide to get a Pro to tidy mine up he is on the list.

    Should look great after he has finished with it, Especially with the Gyeon coating!
