Thanks for the photo of the Hyundai [emoji108]

Going tomorrow [emoji30]

I will miss it absolutely. I’ve also got a ‘98 BMW 328i Sport, which satisfies my old car needs. Going to buy a brand new I30N Performance.

I’ve had a very strong offer on the car; looks like it’s sold. And sold within 2 days.

Yeah, that’s mine.

It’s going up for sale very soon. It used to belong to Brian, before we owned it. It’s a mega car.

Looch? I’m still good friends with him now.

Who else was in the V6’s? Was it Adam?

There’s a Focus MK3 ST3 Mountune also... hiding out of shot [emoji85]

Thanks Mark!

It’s not really changed that much since that meet in Lincoln all them years ago... just been improved with time over them years! That must have been about 10 years ago [emoji50] Was my first CS meet!

Hi guys, As some of you know I’ve had my 172 for nearly 10 years now. Ive owned a couple of cars alongside it, including a bat s**t mental 300bhp Mk5 fiesta. Anyway, I moved that on last year for one reason or another. Replacing it with a beautiful 1 of 9 BMW E36 328i Sport in Santorini Blue...

I may or may not be there, if I am. It won’t be until circa 2.30pm.

I don’t think I can make it. I’ve got to work [emoji20]

All is well now thankfully. Was all patched up when cage was fitted. I’ll update with progress on when that was done.

Yeah, I’ve spent about £5k on this thing in 5 months [emoji23] Realistically, I’ve got that to spend again.

It’s running Gaz Golds. It originally had dark lights in it, it’s now running tango lamps, so looks much improved. I’d love to run standard wheels, but the brakes won’t fit under there. I did try a set of OZ Superleggera’s, but they didn’t offer enough clearance and the brakes caught on the...

Yeah, they were notorious for rot. Shame, because as you say the chassis is so capable.

So bit of an update from when I decided to strip the interior. I wasn’t at all happy with the interior on the car, the recaro’s seats were not ideal - they weren’t particularly safe. The rollcage was a show cage and again really not up the standard I wanted. The less said about the harnesses -...

Won’t be doing that in a hurry. They left the factory with a load of corrosion iirc! Yeah, uses FRS MTX75 with LSD.

An update later? It’s repaired now, thankfully!

Floor!

You lot are in for a right treat when you see what I discovered under the carpet [emoji23][emoji23]

Yeah, the weight around 1000kg’s I think, this has obviously had a lot of weight removed from the inside of the car, but that’s only offset the weight of the engine and heavy MTX75 box. I had it weighed at 1025kg’s with a tank of fuel. Yeah, I had a standard ZS as my first car; loved the...

It feels quick - but I don’t think it feels overpowered for the chassis. I’ve not had it on a rolling road, but the estimation of 300 from the previous owner, is probably on the high side. I think it’s nearer 270ish. Even still, it’s a bloody quick little car!

First things first, collected the car. God it’s a riot, it’s completely unusable on the road but it’s a proper riot. Suspension is stiff, MPG is atrocious, and it makes some hilarious noises on overrun. Pops and Bangs, that a ktec map would be proud off. It was raining on my way home, and it...

So at the back end of last year I decided to take the Clio 172 off track day duties, I sold some of the track focus parts on, had the paintwork sorted, bought a set of Turini’s. I still had an itch I needed to scratch, trackday. So the hunt was on for a new track day car, I had seen a few...

GT cams, they was ones BTM used to sell back in the day. Not to lumpy, but make a nice increase and improve drivability.

Thanks mate. It’s got cams’ and an LSD, so it still goes!
