The Farrow's Nimbus F1 #472 and Ultra Red 197 *pic heavy*

Thread looks great mate, had a good look through from start to finish! Keep going :smile:

Thanks man! Slowly getting there, still plenty to do! Waiting on the garage to pick up the car. Tyres have come and wanted them fitted today and tracked in. Next is belts/waterpump then gearbox and clutch! Expensive times ahead :tearsofjoy:

It does take a while doesn't it haha! What tyres did you go for?

I'm also having the gearbox done at some point as 4th is crunching, nice to know I'm not alone in the gearbox front haha! Its an expensive jobby though haha!

Eagel F1 asymmetric 3's, they'll be going on the front then the current asymmetric 2's onto the rear. Yeah my brothers crunch in 3rd/4th too :') trying to find somewhere local to do it!

Ouch! Expensive rubber haha!

Where abouts are you located?
 
So finally got the car back today, Dash isn't lit up like a christmas tree anymore. The abs fault was due to the rear hub being corroded away and made the sensor rub against the back of the abs ring on the disk. New rear disc's and hub was needed. My bank balance was not happy!

Only issue is the other side is pretty bad too so that could be an issue later down the line!:confused:

So it's been a while... The time as come to move on from the R27, it will most likely be sold to my mate. Which means track days together which I'm super looking forward to. Especially in the car I've replaced it with.

So an unfortunate update, my Clio R27 which I sold to my mate, he wrote it off,hit a curb in other news I've already sold my Hawkeye, bought a mk7 gti which I'm already considering selling... Which means a new car, Im hopefully coming back to a Renault! I miss the French car community and their hot hatches. Any guesses as to what I'm getting in the near future?
