Anthracite 2118- R888 on ( for the time being)

Untitled by fletcher10, on Flickr

Future plans are.

Get the brakes sorted, fix seized 4 pot piston and fresh DS3000 pads.
Black tw*t strip. The low winter sun is a nightmare siting this low and having no sun visors.
PMS stud kit.
Safety Devices roll cage more than likely the 6 point.
More weight removal.
Full polocarbonate windows.
New exhaust system either Oreca Grp N or PMS system ( to replace heavy KTR stealth system)

Did you not get the caliper tool in the end?

No mate. I popped in halfords midweek, They wanted £35 for it. I've not been to Machine Mart yet...

Still unsure if it'll work though as Iirc they are for single piston caliper rewind?

tom172cup · Nov 30, 2013

Not sure what ones they are for just know they had them.

Reckon those anthracite 2118s would look so much better on mine

I'll give you first dibs on them if I decide to sell them Paul. I quite fancy a gold set of 2118s next

Tim. · Dec 2, 2013

Plans are looking good, Fletcher, I can't recommend the PMS stud & nut kit highly enough, I think it's superb, and you'll find it especially useful if you are to keep changing from one set to another etc etc.

I'm actually quite surprised how much of a difference changing to anthracite wheels has made to the overall look of the car. I can't quite put my finger on what it is but I much prefer the white 2118s. I say 'white', which they were once, but you know what I mean

Catch up soon

TimR26 · Dec 2, 2013

Anthracite > White

Suits those 2118s much better

Glad to hear your thoughts on the PMS stud kit are positive mate.

I do like the look of the white 2118s shame they don't stay white for long.

Hi Tim. I am not sure what I prefer now TBH.

TimR26 · Dec 3, 2013

Hopefully this'll help you decide, pics from when you first fitted the anthracite and white wheels.

Fletcher said:
Yep

Had the Hankook RS2s and 2118s fitted today, already very impressed with the grip levels from the RS2s :approve:

It'll be reet, but then it's not me driving :quiet:

Found this when looking for the pics which made me laugh

Paul172sport · Dec 3, 2013

Just take better care of the anthracite ones than the white ones

lollo a8 · Dec 3, 2013

Lovely!!
Very good conditions for the mileage!!

NorthloopCup · Dec 4, 2013

I vote anthracite! The gold looks pretty damned good as well tbf. Works very well with the silver.

Iain C · Dec 4, 2013

Looks great. Glad it's all working again.

Russ_16v · Dec 4, 2013

What about red mate? I think red would look great

Proper loving yours still, even after so many years

Thanks mate.

The white 2118s could do with some TLC, so they may still end up red ( track wheels)

Matt_90 · Dec 6, 2013

Be good to have a catch up! Mine is back on the road and should be almost done inside by the 17th if I pull my finger out lol!

TimR26 · Dec 6, 2013

Matt_90 · Dec 7, 2013

mr_n · Dec 8, 2013

Shame as i have wednesdays off so would of been ideal if it was the 18th

Fletcher · Jan 5, 2014

Just had a look through the Clio file, and added up my invoices over the past 8 years ( I've never been brave enough in the past

)

The total came out at £13,007

This doesn't include the purchase price of the car, petrol, tax, tyres and insurance, or second hand parts like 2118s cup spoiler etc..

On a brighter note. I should have a Safety Devices 6 point cage fitted to the car soon.

tom172cup · Jan 5, 2014

So in excess of £20,000 then. LOL!

That's precisely the reason I don't add mine up.

Rubicon_ · Jan 5, 2014

I never understand why people keep these spreadsheets, it's only going to end bad lol.

Djw John · Jan 5, 2014

Never add up. It'll never end well!

Fletcher · Jan 5, 2014

I was looking for a old invoice, and thought I know.. I'll quicky add them all up. I don't have a spreadsheet azza, I am not that sensible lol.

Yes Dan, well over 20k mate as I paid £8,000 for the 172.

I will never add them up again, that's for sure
