Beanys RB 200 cup

[Beany]

Well the day is here and she’s been dropped off at the garage :excited:

Just got to wait for that phone call now

 

[Big Ben]

Long day ahead mate. Hope there’s no hidden surprises in store

Let's hope it doesn't turn into a Two Techs kinda day!

Great start to a build thread. Obviously it helps when you have a car in the best colour...



Good luck today. Always a bit of trepidation. Hope it all goes smoothly.

 

[Jimmy]

Nice one Chris, good to see you've finally got a thread started for your little RB beauty

I hope all goes well with the cambelts mate, fingers crossed for you!

 

[Beany]

She’s back!!

Cost £680 in total which is kinda how much I was expecting. That inc all belts, water pump, full serving inc gear box oil change.

4mm tread on all tyres :/ so looks like new ones on the horizon... think I know what to ask Santa for lol

Glad all went well mate, sounds a reasonable price if you got the servicing and oil change in there as well!

4mm! That's loads left, I'd say wait until 2mm then change! Unless you're after some sexy new rubber for Xmas

 

[Big Ben]

Could’ve been worse! Glad she’s back for you mate. 6yrs peace of mind now

As said 4mm plenty. At least thrash the hell out of them before changing

 

[///M]

Good result fella. It's gone well to have all that done and for no nasty surprises to appear.

Always hurts spending so much on something you can neither see nor feel. But the show of love is always worth it in the long run.

Haha Trev was an option mate it’s just the past 2 services and mot have been in Stockport. it’s a trek to get over

 

[Benno]

Nice ballpark figure for me to aim towards after New Year, thinking Ktec but like you going to Trevor, it's a trek..

Agree with the others, 4mm is plenty!! Get on track with them and burn a few mm off!!

Any skin left on the back of your hand mate

Any skin left on the back of your hand mate

Done drivers side... lost my 10mm socket so struggling on passenger. However it’s not that urgent that one hasn’t blow yet :/ no but it’s cold and these delicate hands are suffering

 

[Jimmy]

Probably the best pictorial representation of what it means to have to change bulbs on a Clio 3 RS

And you picked a nice cold day, when the hands and fingers are already raw

I have £100 of bulbs ready to go in..I can't bring myself to do it. It's the sort of thing that would stress the hell out of me...

Stick your hand into a bucket of nails and have a rummage around - gives you a bit of prep for what to expect

 

[Beany]

Job done.... I’ll like to change my earlier statement @Big Ben my hand has afew bits of skin left however I’m getting over the trauma with a brew.

@Jimmy a bucket of rusty nails seems pleasurable considering the torture that is....
