Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[TimR26]

Tom said it was seated properly so I trusted him.

Bollox them bolts were looser than a whores hole

That's because the back wasn't seated properly.

Slopy shoulders.

At least it sounded pretty epic

I jumped out of my skin the second time I fired her up!

 

[Russ_16v]

Fair play on that result mate!

Cheers Russ, best result yet! It seems the F4R gets better with mileage (touches wood)

 

[Russ_16v]

Like we always said!

Just need to bung an RS2 and a set of ARP bolts in it now We can talk about in at Combe

My ph1 made that on 40k at RS tuning.

Just saying. [emoji23]

 

[Joah]

Great result bud, the PMS exhaust is a work of art got one on mine

(touches wood)

Is it just me that chuckled at this?

 

[RMDavis]

Car looks great Fletch! What are your thoughts on the PMS exhaust?

Good stuff, hopefully get to see you car in the metal again somewhen this year mate.

It looks very well made mate, I haven't fitted it yet though

Look forward to seeing the update once it's all fitted bud!

I hope so mate, although looking at moving house now so progress has slowed somewhat!
They are an easy fit!

Quick update:

Dropped the car off a Rentech to get the ktec stealth removed, and a PMS exhaust fitted, cheers @Mike@Rentech :smile:

Only done about 60 miles with it fitted so far, but am very impressed it sounds great, very raspy!

And these arrived yesterday morning. Chris Powell 280mm Brembo brackets.

Currently running standard calipers, Brembo HC discs, Goodridge lines/ ATE super blue and and CL RC6 pads, so don't really have any need for another set of 4 pots, but like the weight saving, and being able to run a less aggresive pad (to stop ruining wheels etc)

...Hopefully give it a good clean over the weekend, and get some go pro footage of the exhaust.

 

[Martin.]

You reckon there's much in it with the weight saving? Especially if you go for bigger discs with the Brembos..

If I do go down the Brembo 4 pot route Martin I will run standard Brembo HC 280mm discs, to get under my 15" wheels.

My old Compbrake B4 4 pot kit with separate bells was much much lighter than the standard calipers/ OEM Renault set up.

What was the reason you got rid of them again?

 

[Stay Puft]

Saw this again at Rentech on Monday, cool as always.

Mike was saying a few expletives about some of your exhaust bolts I think haha!

 

[Christopher.]

What was the reason you got rid of them again?

Because Fletcher!

 

[Fletcher]

The cost of replacement discs was the main reason IIRC they're now £130 for each disc!

Cheers mate, yes Mike said it was a nightmare job.

Because Fletcher!

Shut it you

Can't beat £45 delivered for a set of new standard discs. Proper cheap consumable.

 

[TimR26]

Exhaust looks good mate

 

[Iain C]

Love the exhaust. Is it decat? Get a video up fella

Yes mate. Only managed to upload a short video, as my MacBook was playing up.

 

[Christopher.]

Sounds almost as good as the gti

 

[Fletcher]

Sounds almost as good as the gti :wink:

How does your gti sound compared to Chris's 106 rallye mate?

 

[TimR26]

Sounds great!

 

[Christopher.]

Mine is very tinny. Sounds epic in goodwood tunnel.

Il actually be around next weekend so we can go for a blast then. Will be on the standard wheels then as well.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Is that camera attached to the car with string?

 

[Jekyll]

Sounds great that.

Go pro suction mount

 

[Iain C]

Sounds awesome! Good go pro sucker skillz.

I have a rear bumper for sale if you want one with no cut out to make a smaller cut out if it helps

Hi Russ, thanks for the heads up mate, but I am more than happy with my current bumper

 

[TimR26]

A smaller cut out would mean less weight saving as well :tonguewink:
