Who here owns a Renaultsport?

Oooh that's good, as although CS.net love them I hate the Yozza! Motorway drone at 80MPH is my main worry.

My Miltek is nice, it's louder thanI thought it would be when I put my foot down, but pretty good otherwise. Only gets drone on biggish hills on motorway/dual carriageways!

Ah good, that Orbisoud on CS.net has sold. That makes the decision pretty easy!

Just sorting out my vids from Castle Combe. My brakes are shot

Every time I touch the pedal its dudududududududududu...

Ouch, getting the calipers refurbed?

£240 for my F1's to get refurbed? Good price, bit high? There work looks pretty damn good and they are only a mile down the road from me.

Might go matt black and get some OZ stickers

How can I teach this guy a lesson?

This is his CS profile, loads of personal information available for him online. I can post all of our PMs if you want, he is an absolute joke of a human being and his last message has infuriated me so much.

I've got his:

Full name
Facebook Profile
Twitter profile
Xbox profile
PSN profile
Company name
Job title

Could probably find more. I'm not normally like this but his messages over the past 5 months have driven me to wanting to beat the living **** out of this guy!

Is it wrong I lol'ed at this bit?

Lucky for him I'm not that way inclined....or am I?

Have you gone to the CS Mods with it? I'm fairly certain you could get him banned or at least his market access removed.

I've got DS2500's on Brembo HC disks. Its an odd one, they seem to go when the car is left to cool. I think its going to be a slightly sticking caliper thats holding the pad against the hot disk when left over lunch. The vid below is the first run after lunch and the noise only just appeared.

I think I'm gonna get the front calipers refurbed before the next track day. Plus yet another set of disks

Surely this is where the small claims court would be beneficial? £200 is a chunk of money to lose. His responsibility for it to be insured on the postage surely? Therefore you have a claim?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I paid via PayPal Gift, which I think means I don't have a leg to stand on. Also, he lives in Northern Ireland.

He has agreed to send me a new wheel

Finally!!

So after the massive faff of getting the Scorpion RS192 it turns out it doesn't fit properly. The flange which meets the cat is slightly smaller on the rs192 and doesn't fit well with the exhaust clamp.

One problem after another!

Think that last post on CS did it. Good job he's caved

I could have told you that! Doesn't fit properly with the scorpion decat either.

My Miltek is a faff for alignment, still not perfect now! Lol


Gave mine a good clean and another layer of HD wax today. Shiny shiny!

A replacement centre section won't work then?

Brightside how did you attach your washer blanks?

I didn't Mine is a cup, so no xenons hence the blanks. Sorry!

On the subject of lights, has anyone corrected their headlights? Mine are awful so going to give them some elbow grease when I have a knee op in the winter so after some tips, will also check out the guide on CS. Also, due to.no.manual, how much of a faff are the lights to remove?

 

[Maccy]

I was going to get the headlight restoration kit from Amazon, think it was about £20. You can either attach the pads to a rotary or a drill, there's a guide somewhere.

 

[CaptainFail!]

I had a go at restoring my headlights a while back, they turned out pretty good. I could do with doing them again however but I can't be bothered!

I did it by hand at first with fine grades of sandpaper and used water to wet the lights. I started by doing vertical sanding then swapped to a different grade of sandpaper and did it horizontally then swapped to vertical again with a finer grade. After doing that I used some Meguiars scratch X (I think) with a soft applicator pad but they had some clouding on still.

I ended up buying a foam pad drill attachment then used it with the Meguiars scratch x which seemed to finish the headlights up pretty nicely! If you do this however, do it with the bonnet shut as I had scratch x dotted all over my engine bay (and still have in places!)
