So got the rad welded back together

Then painted bits and fitted all back up

And decided to take some bits off and well fix it.

I have received my paited bumper and wing back


All ready to have a day on it on monday ill be re fitting everything and fitting the speedlines..

Also got some new side mounts on order for the drivers side

 

[Cliosport-carl]

Then put it all on and it looked mega



Rain stopped play a few times.



So day 2 of being off I finished it bumper built and re fitted

And decided to get my new wheels on



And gave it a good old clean. And it looked brilliant then I realised..

After thunking they stick out lodes and it looked tight i realised the drivers side was 10mm lower and in the 30 mins i had looking couldnt find anything wrong which done my nut it..

Since then i decided not to brake it and continue sorting stuff out. And over the next few days i removed my front spacers to get the clearance and took it to work

Only cup ones not cup racer sadly.

Well did some looking today..



Drivers side definitely lower than passengers. So removed the sock and found this..

What I think is a bent shock but need some more investigation
So for now #renaultlife

Well if it's bent I have one front and you have one front do you want to buy mine or I'll buy yours

If you think the hub has opened up you can shim the shock with thin steel to keep it at the right height we would have done this before with shocks in the yokes of superbikes it will clamp just the same as it will be at the correct angles of the shock to the hub.

I do believe it is the hub I have got one on order now so will check and update.

Thanks Carl

Well after much ffing around i think im done.. i had to cut the old spring cup off and make a new spring plate to use with the new adjuster. And have raised the drivers side up..

 

[Cliosport-carl]

So the car has been at my dads for a while as we have been selling the golf as the mrs has bought another french hot hatch. And ive decided to put the car back how it was after talking to some people..





Also another problem has arose when i was gettign the tracking done my car was there ticking over for ages all of a sudern over heating light came on thought thats strange nver had an issue before anyway long story short checked all the fused and relyas and found this..
