Sam.
So sorry to hear that your selling.
I had read your previous thread about the engine issues.
I fully understand your reasons for selling, as when you've not bonded with the car and this happens its devastating...
If I had both the time and space id-ve snapped this up, as it could be made...
There must be loads of 182 engines about with reasonable mileage on them...
If I had space,, and the time ide be making you an offer,,,,,, but I have neither...
Has the previous owner tracked the car at all..??
Hi folks.
Does anybody have any pics of the recaro trendlines without the seat covering on.
I realise these seats come in numerous different cars, EVO,s Honda type R,s etc.. Are these any different to "our" Renault recaros..
I know its a strange request, but im looking into getting a "cheap" set...
Flippin heck , what on earth did you hit to do all that damage, although I understand it looks worse that it was due to the fire brigade cutting the roof off.
Doesn't look like a "slow speed" impact....
And you only sustained a broken arm and shoulder. Im guessing the air bags did there job...
Just wondering where people host there images now that photobucket has changed there policy...
Preferably one thats free....
I used photbucket for years and now they want £££ for doing the same thing. I would like to put some pics up, but have nowhere to host them.....
Ta..
Its difficult to tell what side its from, but I think it might be the new Renault top mounts. Theres a thread on Cliosport about the subtle differences..
http://www.cliosport.net/threads/standard-top-mount-differences.810985/
Ive fitted new mounts which came without the inserts, so i fitted the...
Just wondering if this ever got resolved, as mine seems to have developed a similar sound.
It isnt engine mounts as they are new , 1000 miles old anyway.
Although it has happened since i had the front struts off, whilst they were off ,,,ive replaced the top mounts and bottom ball joints, and...
So ashton, do you happen to know the code of the powder coat colour that they used.
Itd be a MASSIVE help, not only to me, but to others that might want to get theres done.
Ive had one set of wheels done, but they have turned out a little bit "bronze" anthracite in colour, rather than the...
All this wheel refurbing chat is good, but it hasn't answered my original question...
IE the colour code of the powder coating that's almost thye same as the Ixus paint code.
Hoolio. What did you use to polish up the Renault logos.?
Ive removed the logos from the caps, they just need either...
For those folk that have had there Turinis refurbed.
Have any of you found a very close match of powder coat colour to the original Turini colour.?
I know that the exact powder coat colour doesn't exist, but there must be one that's very close.??
Im after getting a set done, and have been told...
Hi all.
Im after a set of the Renault logo,s that clip onto the wheel center caps.
Ive had a set of Turinis refurbed and my plastic chrome logos are a bit pitted, so I thought , if reasonably priced, I might get a set .
Anybody know where I might get some.?
Ive looked on ebay, but it seems the...
Looking sweet Ben...
Thanks for the part numbers etc....
Yes i know the feeling about entering the garage each morning... Been there done that....
Gordon.
I had a whitelinbe arb on my car for a short time, but removed and sold it as i wasnt keen on the handling, but others love them, its a...
OOooo eeeerrr. Nice shiny new bits...:sunglasses::sunglasses:
Itl be better than new ....
Im interested to know how youl find the powerflexed rear beam, over the standard bushes...
My car when I bought it had all the front bushes replaced with the purple powerflex jobs, and I always thought it...
Personally im not keen on them, as they can scratch the paint, as when the wind blows the cover can move around, also if its wet for any prolonged period the car doesn't dry out, and can "sweat" under the cover...
I have used a "carcoon" in the past, There like a bubble,,but they don't come cheap...
Ben.
You mentioned about removing the rear axle mounts, are the bolt heads captive in the body, or did you have to get a socket on them from above.??
Are they easy to both get to and or replace if needed.?
They don't look too hard to remove, its just the threads on mine are a bit crusty...
Personally i fitted the Brembo HC discs with a set of Mintex 1144,s. This was what George had reccomended...
The previous owner had the ds 2500,s on but i didnt get on with them...
Ive found this combination just right for my use...
