Previous owner contacted me saying they had been after this particular car and contacted me asking if I would be interested :smile:

This is very awesome, was going to say how did that come about but then read the above!

Friend of mine had a Nurburgring Astra when it was quite new, cool car too and the Remus exhaust sounded great!!

Ohhhh so true matey :wink:

A few small updates.

Trophy 182

Cooksport springs removed and sold on and red eibachs fitted. Cooksport were nice and low but a little crashy with the Sachs. Eibachs are absolutely awesome. Also had a quick wash:

Storm 200

An old update (Nov 2017) but a worthy update. Front bumper removed and stone chipped black plastic stripped and repainted:

R26

Replacement door switch console fitted. Old one scratched and marked. Replacement door card fitted (ciggie burns). Replacement rear lower bench fitted (ciggie burns). New wiring loom fitted.

 

[Daz...]

Cracking work as usual!

 

[imprezaworks]

Have you a pic of the trophy on cooksports

 

[182_steve]

Great updates once again all round but the trophy really does look awesome Paul! :up:

Well done using it in this weather too, mine's now been tucked away and locked in the garage since mid November, really should get it out lol

 

[mossyv6]

Have you a pic of the trophy on cooksports

Yes buddy, here you go:

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks decent on both tbf

 

[mossyv6]

Yes mate but as said the Eibachs run so smoothly in comparison.

 

[imprezaworks]

And that’s the aim

 

[mossyv6]

R26

New gearknob fitted. This was a b@stard to remove!!!

 

[imprezaworks]

Trophy or r26

Go...

 

[magic354]

Trophy for me all day long...

The Trophy is such an epic car - there is nothing I would change about it - so capable

If you were only allowed to keep one of your cars, which would it be mate?

 

[mossyv6]

If you were only allowed to keep one of your cars, which would it be mate?

That is a very difficult question - I would be split between the Clio V6 and R5GTTurbo to be honest as I have had the vee for 12 years now and been rebuilding the GT for the past 4 years.

You could build the r5 a lot quicker with the money you would get for the vee mate haha.

I know what your saying but the GT is nearly done and I have all the parts to finish it off but TIME is my problem

How did you remove it Paul?
And have you got a part no. The meg stick I've got for my 197 is torn.

Tried twisting it off but no joy 😧 so out came the big grips and just grabbed, twisted and pulled.
I will have to get back to you on the part number.

Edit: part number is 8200276415

Thanks Paul, do you think the 197 knob would fit?

 

[mossyv6]

Don't see why not mate as I fitted a 197 gearknob to my r26'd Clio 200 (has a Meggy gearstick).

Thanks again, I'll just try and swap my 197 one over then, once I get all the meg gear fitted. Does your storm run lsd?

 

[magic354]

Yes, I'm curious to know this too, I presume it's using the R26 transmission w/ differential included?

It's a R26 Megane gearbox ( rebuilt 5k ago due to snapped selector rod) with Helix paddle clutch and Helix solid and lightened flywheel.

 

[mossyv6]

R26

New door handle fitted - old end cap cracking - a very very common issue. New complete handle kit fitted.
Old:

New front speakers fitted.

Replacement auto dim rear view fitted - old one de-laminating so needed changing so went for an upgrade

R26

Recaro seat covers - fresh from Thailand via eBay - I was very very sceptical about these but are awesome and fit like a glove

STORM 200

Fresh MOT with no issues

 

[imprezaworks]

Bloody love that the storm Paul.

Whats the story getting that again?

 

[mintno1]

That storm does look great, I could definitely be tempted by one in the future :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

Its another car (200) i would like.

How does it compare to the Megane?

 

[Gus]

Have you got a link to the seat covers ? they look great !

 

[mossyv6]

Bloody love that the storm Paul.

Thanks matey - previous owner still on here (thanks to @charltjr) and contacted me when he was thinking of selling it - the fact it was a rare storm and already had the r26 engine transplant was a no brainer

That storm does look great, I could definitely be tempted by one in the future :up:

An awesome colour and car but in standard form the 200 is a little lacking in urgency

Its another car (200) i would like.

How does it compare to the Megane?

Quite different to be honest. The 200 is an animal with immense power where as the meggy is a more refined balanced FAMILY (lol) drive.

Have you got a link to the seat covers ? they look great !

They are really good mate - cost me £57 delivered (for the pair) and took 3 weeks to get here. I contacted them asking them if they could put Recaro on for me and sent a couple of photos of the script and was no issues at all and had great communication with them.
Ps: I have just bought another set for the Trophy
Here is the link mate:

[imprezaworks]

Ah it was his old car, I remember now.

Awesome.

 

[mossyv6]

Ah it was his old car, I remember now.

Awesome.

Yes and it's also nice that the previous owners were all on clio197.net so I have a great history on the car

 

[imprezaworks]

As a standard car (you had the ag) out of the two, 200 and the megane which one would you keep?

 

[charltjr]

I bloody miss that car, it's a proper credit to you just how far it's come @mossyv6
