[Deaks]

Been looking through this thread and you know how to detail a car dayyum! What exactly do you do on the ships? im a geotech engineer for Fugro. Did my offshore survival training last week - great fun!

 

[Giles]

looking good mate!

Gave it a decent wash to get the salt off, needs a proper job to get rid of all the tar that's still on it though!













Looks pretty decent with the white wheels on, I just wanted to make sure they were balanced before Oulton next week.

Red and white = epic.

Not that I'm biased

 

[N0ddie]

White on red does look superb.

What track rubber did you opt for?

 

[Rogue]

I'm not sure I like your plate. Its like you're driving around telling everyone that you think your car is crap lol

Ironically, its looking great tho!

The wheels came with nearly new Toyo R1R's on so gonna use them and them try something else next.

It's a clio. They are a little bit crap

 

[Giles]

white wheels......brave

 

[Iain 007]

Went on track again at Oulton, Toyo R1R's held up nicely, not that much better than Conti 3's IMO. I'll wear these out though then get some more aggressive rubber!

NW rolling road day today, ran 202bhp and 163lb ft.

Pretty happy with that!

 

[Willis]

Your method of "kicking her tits in" to run her in worked a treat then mate!!!

 

[Jonesy]

wow, that at the fly or wheels? either way thats very strong

 

[henderson]

great results iain,what engine mods have you done?

 

[N0ddie]

Track pics are superb. Really looks the part.

At the flywheel I think. I think 169 is at the wheels?

None, completely stock.

Track pics are superb. Really looks the part.

Thanks, does look pretty good on the white wheels, pain to clean after the day though!

 

[Iain 007]

De-badged the car today!

Looks much cleaner from the rear now, just need to detail it now.

 

[Ashton]

Looks great mate. Strong figures too

 

[Iain 007]

Going to PH Sunday service at the weekend, decided to detail while the weather's ok.

Used a lot of Wax-Tec gear that I got recently but hadn't had a chance to use. Well, what can I say aside from they're top quality, made it go a bit quicker than usual with a bit less elbow grease (still took me 7 hours mg: )

All done by hand, can't wait to get a DA later in the year! I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.






Shame the light was getting a bit low and made for not so great photos, I'll probably be sticking another coat of wax on tomorrow then doing the interior so I'll most likely get some better pictures tomorrow :headphone:

Looks great mate!
