I regularly come to the EoE meets so when there's one on next then perhaps it would be be good to meet up
Alignment has been done. The track rod end and rear toe adjuster arrived quite quickly. Apparently the alignment was a long way out so I'm hoping the car feels transformed when I get out for a good drive.
Whilst there I got them to service the car using Renault parts and carried out little strip and clean of the brakes.

Just been reading your thread Dan, newbie to the Renault scene mostly been Jdm.
However looking at the V6 that's looking mint are these quite rare now as I never see them on the roads.

They are a rare sight on the road mate. A matter of fact Iv never seen one on the road other than ones Iv been travelling with!
Mine are phase 2's who's I believe there was around 350 brought to the UK ( so never really that common a sight) how many left is now showing 146 licensed and 89 sorn.
I think there's even less phase 1's and they can be even harder to find a minter.
@cat171 Mine are road legal all year. Taxed and insured for 12months I am very selective over when I'll use them in winter but I honestly think parking them up for 6 months doesn't do cars any good and want to keep things moving. I know of a couple in my area but never actually seen either on the road.
Iv travelled with Stevo a few times and it's a great car to follow and there's not a car pass that doesn't look at it. His makes my normal vee blend in and the noise it made coming through the dartford tunnel:hearteyes:

Progress is quite slow. Iv purchased some new wheel valves from Renault parts direct ready for the wheel refurb when I organise it. Also some chrome effect valve caps to get rid of the black plastic ones.
A part from that Iv just been using it and enjoying it. I went to snetterton for a show/meet thing on Wednesday night and it was the first time Iv driven a vee in very heavy rain. I was very careful to say the least!
Iv had the rear bumper of tonight to check why it didn't quite sit correctly. The reason seems to be that there is no fixings in it!
I'm unsure wether who ever fitted the exhaust for the last owner lost them all or what's happened but hopefully I can source them and get it fixed a lot more securely. I knew it wasn't on properly as when I washed it if flexed a lot more than my other car.
Whilst it's of I'll give it a good clean this week while I try to source the bits.

I aquaplaned at one point which was very scary. Wasn't going overly fast either. I did slow down further and moved towards the inside!
Iv not spoken to anyone about painting the wheels yet as I want to collect all the bits. Only need new tyres now (until the centre caps get removed and fall to bits) but I think I'll try taking them to B A Wheels in Norwich. It's about an hour from me but comes highly recommended by other enthusiasts in the area and his work looks great in pictures.

Not much happened recently on this. Managed to get some original mats fitted. I think less is more and the plain design looks neat.
Iv got 20 new wheel bolts in the correct size with 19mm heads for when the wheels get refurbed. Which won't happen until next year now along with any paint work.
When I put the back bumper on I used fixings and it lined up perfectly (when I removed it I discovered there was no more than a self tapper holding the bumper on the sides under the lights.)
I'm still waiting for the little inner arch piece of plastic to arrive from France. There was no due date when I ordered it and it's been 2 weeks so hopefully won't be much longer!
Today Iv had new michelin pilot super sports fitted 205/40/r18 to the front and had some new number plates have arrived as the others are a little grubby.
I had the other one out of the garage when I was fitting the bumper back on so grabbed a quick pic of them together!

Awesome dan!
The technical grey without a doubt. I'm 99% sure it's the one I'll keep if one goes. Even tho it was once a damaged car Steve that rebuilt it did an amazing job. everything about it feels right and I'd value it equal £'s to the blue one where others probably wouldn't.
It has a few oem+ upgrades as well different seats, steering wheel, clear engine cover and some alcantara in the cabin. Iv also just bought some spacers to get the wheels sitting out perfect.
It's just a nicer place to sit where as the Illiad is standard bar an air filter and exhaust and currently not quite what I'd class as show condition. (Hopefully will be soon!) although it does feel faster!
Thanks :up: hopefully I'll get this one out to an event next year.
Colour alone I'd keep the technical grey. You're so lucky to have two! I'm sure you've earned them both the hard way, but you're still a lucky bugger! Haha.
Does the technical grey really change as much with the light as some of the previous photos posted to the forum suggest?

I have to disagree with this. I'm not sure it's ever a stand out colour!
I'm not saying it's a bad colour, it's just very subtle, I think I read somewhere it was labelled the 'thinking mans liquid yellow'
Thanks :up:
Cheers mate.
It's colour changes are subtle as I said above and it's really hard to catch it. Some days it will look like a light blue then silver and sometimes grey.

Yep I had it sorted for the end of season expo cliosport stand. I bought a new bonnet as the old one had some rust underneath and replaced the bonnet catch so It looks brand new now.

How much was the bonnet catch ? do you know the part code dude ?Ha ha I lived with it for 2 years! Now I can't lift my bonnet proudly
Ps, I thought it was silver! Didn't clock on that it was technical grey!
It was around £35 from Paul at rpd. Plenty of cheaper alternatives on the bay but didn't think it was something to mess with.
The bonnet catch I ordered was 8200069296
I'm unsure of phase 1 & 2 are the same. The sound of shutting the bonnet with a brand new catch is strangely satisfying!
P.s. When are you going to put your own thread up on your car?!?
Does he let you drive it?
There was a Mars red popped up cheap when I was saving for the first time. I couldn't sort out my money in time and it was snapped up in hours. From memory it was £13500 and on around 35k miles.
Cheers, mine has had one but it needs a tidy up
I'll see about that. If not, new one here I come.Dunno yet mate, next year at some point
That is dirt cheap! I remember 'rev it up' something like that, had a red one in for that sort of price years ago on PH, Subway off here's mate bought it, I went out in it before I got my Phase 1.
Look forward to it. Are you trying to get the car perfect before you put any pictures up?!
It was cheap and that's why it sold so quick. Literally hours and I think that there was a few potential buyers if the first fell through.
The rev it up car sounds familiar. I can remember whist saving searching for hours on end through every advert and car that was for sale and previously sold that I could find.
Back on track.
The inner arch piece arrived from France last week. Will be fitted when I get chance. Hopefully this coming weekend. Had to buy all new fixings with it for both sides as old ones were sized solid and chose to get a new number plate light at the same time. Should make the arse of the car look brand new.
