Lol. Is that it for another 4 years or plan to get her out a bit more often?

Remember tearing around in these in period. Lol. Drive it much?

Handbrake off On axle stands if possible Battery on ctek charger/conditioner Damp trap or bowl of dehumidifying salts inside. Soft cover if possible.

I imagine the shorter chassis with all the group a / WRC bits on with active diffs and all the trimmings probably worked to a degree, although it was never the dominating car in competition it was supposed to be. As a road car the shorter chassis just felt horrid to me and many other Ford folk i...

I dont hate it, its just crap to drive. Slow, doesnt handle, crap build quality, chassis didnt work as it was too short, the sierra was significantly better. Just a hugely overrated car. I get that its cool to look at and ive always been a Ford fanboy, hell ive worked for them for the last 23...

Agreed, 22B is nothing special but the Escort Cosworth is way shitter, it wouldnt see which way a 22b went! Doing so would mean you'd have to drive the Escort and that's a disappointment you really don't want. Bolt one to the wall and look at it, best thing for it. :D

Certain JDM imports had a 25 year hold on them. Once reaching 25 years they can be legally used in the US.

Haha. I remember turning these down left right and centre at £25k. Didn’t want one then and don’t want it now. Fair play to anyone who has one that’s now £150k up. 😅👌🏼

Reported 7.2kg for the Braids vs 6.5kg for the X3MA

For me its either another set of X3MAs or some Braid Fullrace.

This thread has reminded me i should really flog my Turinis and buy another set of 15s. There still isnt a great deal of choice is there.

This ^^^

Correct.

No use other than to help others, i measured the clearances on the X3MAs. EVO Corse X3MA 15x7 ET38 PMS 285mm Brembo kit with 285mm 2 piece discs. 5mm spacers (purely for aesthetics) Caliper to barrel clearance approx 3mm Caliper to spoke clearance 13mm (inc 5mm spacer) this would reduce to...

Louis, I clamped the bumper to the wing and drilled a 10mm hole through both at a suitable position. Then pushed a Subaru bumper clip through them to pin the two together. It holds the bumper perfectly aligned and can be removed without issue.

41c here and i had to turn mine down a bit as i was getting a bit chilly :D

First Clio turbo ive seen that looks like a genuinely proper job. Twinscroll with dual gates, proper manifold and management as it should be. Love it :)

AST if you have the budget, BCs are okay. Wouldn't touch anything out of the GAZ workshop myself. Junk.

Date Steve??

If you’ve got any spare ceramic coating for wheels, it’s works wonders on exhaust tips for keeping them clean as the carbon deposits no longer stick.

Dont do it... its a trap!

Ha, ive spent way more than that on shite i don't need. No justification needed. Lol Just be careful not to have a go in another clio with sensible wheels on, youre likely to rip the steering wheel off if you use you usual amount of input :D

Does when you swap them out for something that's reasonably light (circa 6.5kg). The difference in steering feel and response alone is night and day from a 3kg drop per corner of un-sprung rotational mass. They look cool though so i get it. :)

The 16" Turini is also 1.2kg lighter than a 15" 2118! 😂

Looks fantastic Steve, but you know my thoughts anyway. 😅

TH2s are some of the best looking wheels of all time imo. Possibly worth the weight penalty. TH2s, MO5s and 2118s. You certainly have an attraction to running the heaviest wheels on the planet. 😅

Been toying with satin gold on mine too but not yet seen one.

Owned this twice since 2011, bought at just 8k miles, I’m just about to clock 150k miles.

Thanks guys, however we are away on holiday. Have fun. :)

:( Thats not gone well... what caused the fire?
