What have you done to your car today ???

[DaveDreads]

Figured out if I blip the throttle before turning the engine off.
the bizarre morning start up problem goes away,
don't know why but it seems to be working so far. :S

 

[DaveDreads]

^^^Yeah, that's not working anymore. :dapprove:


Today I put some coolant in it, as it's below minimum.....it's still below minimum, as I only had a quarter of a bottle.

I topped up the oil as the warning light was on because of the slight sump gasket leak it's got.

I also did this, the last badge to be sprayed. I'm quite chuffed with it tbh.

I't's always annoyed me when people 'anthrasite' their badges and leave the button black,
it just doesn't look right.

 

[NickM5c]

A good wash, clay and wax.Used some Autoglym leather treatment on the inside plus a good clean out.
Repaired the ECU bracket which I noticed had snapped.

 

[micheal leck]

Spent bout 8 hours cleaning it wiv a hangover lol

Spruced the engine bay up with some paint and a old carbon engine cover and washed it.

[RDH]

MOT'd it! Down to BTM next week and she's as good as new!

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Drove it to get it dirty, so I had an excuse to clean and polish it.

Looks quite shiny I think




Got the Brillo pad on the inside of yozza too

 

[jamesd1263]

Silver visions front and back

Then took it for tracking all before 11am

 

[iOllieSM]

Painted rear drums black, front calipers "marine blue" , and then cleaned it. All in all, a day well spent!

 

[Stefan.]

drove it, and bloooooooooody love it. its in the best nic it can be everything has been done (mot, serivce,belts,dephaser) so am now enjoying it for what it is

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Changed front discs to some brembo hc ones and fitted some standard pads over some mintex ones that were foooked. Not bad really

 

[markkram]

Fitted new OEM discs and pads on the rear.
Started painting up the spare inlet matte black to match the fuel rail guard. Hope to get them fitted next week.

 

[welshname]

Driven it on some of the best roads up here roughly 270-280 miles in total into North Wales, did the Horse Shoe Pass, drove round North Wales a little, back towards home, into Macclesfield then on to the Cat and Fiddle, back into Macclesfield and loads of other localish roads.

Back is killing me...Bloody coilovers.

 

[Harpham]

Cleaned it for first time in 2 months. f**king love it when its clean. Even as a swirlbus, it looks amazing.

 

[Brian]

It's not been 2 months, but then mine isn't a rusty old sunflower :rasp:

Cleaned and put away safely..

 

[Scrooge]

Flol Brian, I bet you've been giving it an extra long break after it was driven a little hard at the Grasshopper meet.

 

[Brian]

LOL, Iain was very gentle

 

[Scrooge]

Everyone actually thought you'd been hijacked lol

 

[JayJones]

Today I washed and waxed my car, caring for the Clio

 

[marinemackay2003]

finished fittting my aero catches and greased them up

 

[Silent_Scone]

you can tidy the edging up on that, they look much better if you re-lacquer them too. Gel coating is trash

 

[pastieman]

A little clue

Very pleased waiting for the a pillers, sun visors, hand brake trim also the plastic trim re coloured in Matt black to turn up

 

[Ricardos]

RB 015 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Fitted the new Cup spoiler rear brake light and new rear wiper blade too, i love my Renault bits

RB 012 by Ricard o1, on Flickr

 

[tom172cup]

I brought this today because 331hp is not enough :rasp:

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Filled it up! Cost 61 quid! 1.44.9 a litre shell v power

 

[roystinho]

Got a new tyre to replace the dodgy Chinese one that was on it when I bought it. Now got matching hankooks all round ready to be burned off for something better long term - fun time. How quick can you ruin a new set of tyres?

 

[Jimbo_M]

Got the Turini's back today from being refurbished

 

[MartinR]

Removed a rather large dollop of bird poop

 

[nathdawg]

Fitted rear sivervisions, a Rs 200 badge to blank off the holes left from the 'Clio' badge and some stickers as well as a wash and wet wax (this was all yesterday btw if that still counts).

 

[welshname]

Ordered loads of maintenance parts to fit at the weekend

 

[DaveDreads]

Topped up the coolant so it's no longer below minimum and got a replacement Ph1/Espace V6 standard filter,
now I can clean my Pipercross foam filter before the West Mids rolling road day in June. :approve:

 

[aucky]

Applied C4 to the upper grill, then spilled most of the bottle on the floor and gave up in a mood.

 

[Goodj]

Yesterday I swore at it, a lot.

but it couldn't hear me over the sound of rough bearings.

 

[MarkCup]

Today I drove my 200 with the lightest foot possible while still making progress. Trip for the full 26 mile commute says 43.1 mpg.

LOL

 

[len_beach]

I picked up a set of Brembo HC's from G172 then fitted a new coil pack and crank sensor, bought and fitted a new silicone elbow and crank case breather and cleaned the air filter.

All of that was overshadowed by taxing my M3 which makes me hate the government.

 

[chillbill]

Bought one ca an hour ago. Here's a pic:

I'm situated in Estonia and the car's a Jap. import Clio 172. It's getting registered by the seller as we speak.

Tomorrow brings new summer tires, a new bulb for the rear blinker, MOT (has got quite a loud Fujitsubo exhaust, so fingers crossed) and insurance. Can't wait to take it for a proper drive on the weekend.
