It was reasonably short last year, but for me in the Mazda it was completely flat, although it wasn’t an easy flat as most people were lifting for the chicane. Sadly I forgot my GoPro when I did it last year so didn’t get any footage!

Absolutely worth putting an entry in. The atmosphere last year was just epic.

I’ll be there, but whether I’ll actually compete... I’m not sure yet.

Usually anything turbocharged gets a multiplier, IIRC it’s 1.4 down here. So 2.0N/A or a 1.4 Turbo. Assuming the class hasn’t got a specific N/A restriction. The normal class is 1.8-2.6 so 1.8Ts just fit in, so you end up against silly stuff sometimes. 450bhp A3s vs 130bhp MX5 FTL. On that...

We used to have great meets in the South West. As soon as I got booted from the rep job there’s been nothing, or at best a few turning up.

And by mature you mean anyone with a mental age above 17. Which is largely correct. Anything that isn’t functional, to be honest, is pretty ‘un-petrolhead-y’. The whole point of a car is to be driven so anything that detracts from the driving experience, be it 500kg of audio equipment and...

Proper shitter that a shunt that small did that much damage. I’d be tempted to not bother with insurance and just get it pulled, but if you do go with insurance it may well be worth finding out what the buy back cost is, because if it’s mega cheap you could sell it for someone else to break.

Differential metals. Nasty! Looks like you caught it in the nick of time.

Some cars are awful with it, some you don’t notice. The C30 literally hoovers s**t up and attaches it to the window, as did the 172, but the 1.2 didn’t.

Quite cheap for a cup TBH.

I love it when all the channels I watch refer to each other.

To be fair when you put that much detail into a game it’s not something you can bang out a new one of every year. Especially when you are still releasing content for the existing one. GTA is probably the best attempt to capture ‘the world’ in a game yet seen.

I class that as f**king awesome, not extreme :D

Dual optics are good with HIDs but sadly with the new rules it’s an MOT fail. Easy enough swap but IMPOSSIBLE to post them without them breaking. (Dual optics weren’t just for V6’s, they were standard on 172s and optional for normal clios)

Common for drag racing. It’s not running long enough to overheat so the strength advantage is worth it. Helped by cool-burning Methanol too.

That bumper is on/from a Clio 172 Ph1. It’s a stock car. I would just save the money tbh. £1k is a decent chunk towards a 172/other hot hatch, and, speaking as an ex 1.2 Grande owner, it’s spending £1k polishing a turd. Any exterior mods have to be declared just like engine mods, so it’ll bump...

I’d make the perfect 1*2 by getting a Ph.1, throwing a cup gearbox in it and doing a Ph.2 dash conversion, and leave the other mechanicals the f**k alone. Okay, maybe a fatty induction kit, the bwaarp is nice. But everything else standard.

I’m going with the pour 3 tonnes of concrete idea.

Magic hole un-drillers are hard to come by,

No, it really was nicked.

Yeah, I’d easily say it was the cleanest 1*2 I’ve seen, and probably on par with Phase1sr’s 172. It was THAT good. And, topically, sold for £4,500.

Basically as above. Bloke bought it and did this to it;

Minis are small enough inside already TBH. Since it’s primarily a road car a cage is not really necessary.

Nobody wanting to buy a Clio for an investment is going to buy a 172 cup. It’s one of the less desirable models TBH. And what kind of return would you get if you spanked £10k from the get go? Remember Lawro’s IMMACULATE silver 182? Yeah.

FLOL. Yeah, that’s gonna happen.

Engine and transmission are in AFAIK, ancilliaries such as AC and wiring still to go.

They will, but I might not live to see TWO of their projects finished!

Seeing all the interior going in is really starting to suggest that the end is in sight. Which would be a dreadful shame TBH.

I’ve not got huge experience with the 200s but I’d definitely recommend the Akra, having followed a 200 with one on the way to CSS one year. They sound fooking epic!

Fancy a real challenge? Try hotlapping the 'ring in a 2018 F1 car. HOLY f**k HOLY f**k HOLY f**k HOLY f**k waitwhat INSTANT DEATH. My fastest laptime is somewhere in the 6 minute region because I haven't made it around without dying painfully yet. (Car...
