my bad, thank you for correcting me

Personally I would just bin the tyres and the discs. Tyres are old shite. Discs and pads are cheap enough to replace. Out of curiosity, look at the manufacturing date stamp on the tyres as they are probably older than you think. (Box with 4 numbers in - 0525 would be May 2025, 0109 would be...

Over 12yrs and 7 months

Think there must be an issue with the diff for them to both fail like that. Both failed inner cv under load on right handers. Breaking the Golf now to concentrate on finishing the Mini Cooper S. Swift lads were very lucky. It stood up pretty well to be fair. That's why we have seats, harnesses...

Did better than I did in the Golf up there. 2 runs, 2 driveshafts. Wasn't happy.

Mate is also currently looking at using mk3 epas on his Mk2 Escort instead of the corsa b setup it currently has. Another video he has seen is of a BMW that's had clio mk3 epas fitted and it's giving a lot more assistance than clio mk2.

I havnt used PlayStation for ages, as the setup went into my lads room. He's been getting into drifting and rally games so we've just got him a Playseat Evolution from ebay as it was local too. So if anyone is after a stand, I'm selling the old one £25 collected from near Wrexham Even comes...

Clio Phase Poo

I haven't looked at car tyre prices recently so I'm unsure if the 'inflation' is the same as to what I am seeing with the van tyres! In 2020..... In 2021..... 2024 quote.......  

I've had 172 cups and used a 182 for a bit, and then had the 197. 172 and 182 great on fuel for what they are, and not bad drivers at all. 197 lovely drive, better handling, better brakes , soooo comfy with the Recaros but underpowered and crap on fuel in comparison. Swings and roundabouts...

He has another accident damaged Lotus Carlton as well

This chap has got a few

Ive got a rusty Mk5 GT Tdi. Had it 18 months originally as a runaround. Rusty wings, rusty sills, rusty boot, but it was remapped and had a lot of other new bits in the last 3 years like starter, battery, alternator etc. I had to get the belts done though as it looked like it was going to snap...

Remember the one I used for Sprints and Hillclimbs. That had done over 170k miles, was bog standard and when I put it on the rollers out of curiosity at efi it still had 160bhp. Serviced and belts done it wouldn't bother me.

Depends whether you want it for competition or just as a track car. Competition then need through dash due to rule change. Track car then dash dodger perfectly fine
