following on I set to work on ordering parts and getting some stuff done , I set off with new headlight bulbs , new sidelight bulbs , mist washer jets (must have) new wipers , de badged and black Renault badge covers. Oh I also stumbled upon a nearly new ktr induction kit for £100!

Yeah was a great price . I much prefer the look at the front but I'm not so sure on the back . Time will tell . I may remove them lol

Don't do it. It's cool to have them silver not black. Everyone has black these days. Standard is the new modded.
 
It's been a busy day on the RS today

Started off with the fairly simple task of changing the upper torque mount bush to a powerflex one which has eliminated my knock I was getting . That went pretty smoothly then I tackled the exhaust ....



After lots of swearing and messing and tinkering plus a little more swearing I got it all to fit to find out the v band was blowing where it meets the manifold [emoji21]

Bit more tinkering swearing and some 'gungum' later it is fitted and appears to have no leaks

Also polished up the tips on my mates miltek

As always was a little busy and forgot to take loads if pictures . 4b44b6a0e4c325a72882093bcee229ed.jpg5760eec990a5b99367b403370db769a1.jpgf0a6fc392437d6ddb5f24e6bcaa16a1f.jpg3de462b9210c428b7e30900797d9bee3.jpg

Welcome mate! Car looks nice, don't listen to @LOCKE black badges are the way forward..

Grand job picking up a KTR induction kit for that money, hard to find! What exhaust did you go for?

Cheers mate . Yeah it was a awsome buy . I head good things about the toyosports cat back so I have bought that. Seems ok so far and reminds me of the miltek on my fiesta st .
