a quick hello first, my names stu and a few of you may know me from my epically OTT 106 build, the almighty "rattlebox":
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v11/slammed106/?start=all
this has temporarily been put on hold as after driving a few "beginner cars" (1.0L 106: aka-the 3 stud assassin, and a 1.4 polo:aka- the PLOP!) she has built up a few years NCB it was time to introduce the bird to the world of overtaking, after looking at a few potentials i heard a friend of mine (matt@ TDF) had this for sale so after a quick test drive a deal was struck and the missus had this:
as some will know this is warrens old car (some others on here may well have owned it too) it has some tasty bits..
KWv2 coilies
whiteline rear ARB
TD pro race (something) alloys
v6 airbox
momo steering wheel
momo recliners
yozza stealth system and decat
camber bolts (wound all the feckin way in!)
some other bits-n-bobs lower engine mount.. hids..
in an effort to get this a little more "everyday car" we had a drive down to hatfield to collect a full interior (leather and alcan)
so these got took out:
and a return to renault lovelyness!
a few suprises!!..
the rear cards that came with the car had some HUGE alpine 2ways strapped in so i dremel`d the new 3/4`s so they fitted nicely and wanged them in
the new 3/4 cards from Hatfield had some E-drive? alpine 2ways in there so they have migrated into the front doors
the bird did a good job of stripping the door cards off! she might even have a talent for this spanner lark!!
we then sat down and wrote a TO DO list:
*drivers side Apost trim needs securing
*resistor needs banging into the steering wheel airbag circuit to kill the SERVICE light
*needs a bonet stay clip for under the bonnet
*bumper lights seem inactive
*need an aerial adaptor for my old headunit
*drivers side skirt has popped out of the clips and is gaping away from sill
*a bit of flaked paint on the front bumper needs painting
*the hands free kit has left 3 screw holes in the dash that needs repairing
*theres a stereo stalk behind the steering wheel but i`m guessin i need a certain connector and headunit so that will have to wait
*personally i think the steering wheel is too small
*windscreen rubber trim has broke on 1 corner
and that is about it...
in time i might replace the TD`s with some std 172/OZ rims done in antracite but the more i look at it and drive it the more i like it.. the birds smitten with it so think all the trick bits may well stay...
