I have never seen a single example of Zagato actually making an Aston Martin look better than it did as standard. Bloody awful looking things in my view.

What. The. f**k.

I used a bit of a cut through yesterday to avoid some traffic at a busy junction. It's quite a fun little road, but only really used by farmers for the most part, so it was a bit of a mud bath. Impressive progress for one day, especially given how bad it was already... Pictures don't do it...

Why did you wipe it with black paint?

Got some snaps in Tesco car park: Cleaned the number plate on Thursday but it's starting to get grubby again already.

I do love a 106. Hopefully it won't cause too many headaches, but the throttle cable is a worrying start lol

My car is coming along nicely now. Will try and get some pictures.

This is the one in my local club: It's a nicely prepared little car. They seem to have a lot of fun in it. Do all sorts of events in it, road rallies and such.

But I can't be bothered to build one either. I want instant gratification lol

Weren't those 101 conversions meant to be taxis or something? Quite cool, but not exactly something to drive to the shops.

That's lovely. Don't suppose you want to sell it to me lol

Yeah no doubt.

I only ever bought one thing off him (a custom clutch hose for my rally car) and he was really helpful to be honest. A shame it ended up like this, but seems to be the way with so many small car parts businesses.

Don't really know much about them to be honest, but you'd be alright tweaking the spring rates a bit. As the rest of the suspension is new, that won't be an issue. I'm sure someone on here would be able to advise on some good rates to run with slicks. Spring choice on eBay is almost limitless...

It would cost a lot of money to get to 100bhp, so I probably wouldn't bother. I am not against modifying whatever you have though. If you like the car and can afford it, do what makes you happy. There are a few small-engined cars (including Clios) floating around the club motorsport scene...

I'm being lazy here, but what suspension are you running at the moment? If you're on coilovers all round, you could always chuck some stiffer springs at it, they're cheap enough.

Buy some good all-weather tyres for road/wet track use, then just fit slicks for the dry track. Go hard or go home.

Subscribed on YT and following with my three(!) insta accounts. You're welcome to follow back - it all helps lol

Welcome aboard! Make sure you get a project thread started, always nice to see more competition cars on here. I wonder what it is with Clios? People always seem to come back!

Welcome from a fellow 197 owner. They are great fun cars for sure. Where was the raffle out of interest? Seems a random prize!

The car seems to be receiving decent reviews so far. I don't mind the looks. Pretty inoffensive but it's just an average hatchback at the end of the day, so it's understandable. The race version looks pretty good. The ad is ok. A bit 'virtue signalling' but seems to be the way of things. If you...

That video proves why I couldn't be a co-driver - I would be losing my s**t with the guy in the Chevette lol Looked blinkin' slippery!

You're famous @robzracing! Picture of your car on the Autosport home page at the moment....

Dave, you are utterly mad, but fair play. Your love for the E9* is strong! Mega spec though, with that engine in an estate in the colour and with the options and mileage etc. The celebrity connection is kinda cool too.

Limited to 600 and a UK-only model, so pretty rare.

Sadly, that seems to be the case with almost everything now. Steering feel is becoming an extremely rare commodity!

100% The speed difference between all of them is negligible, so that wouldn't bother me. The Audi is nice, but the Golf is meant to be a bit sharper. I really don't like the interior or the exterior of the A-Class and the BMW hurts my eyes, so Golf all the way out of those four.

Would still have the Golf tbh

The proportions look ridiculous - it's so short! Should be hilarious with Meg running gear though.

Nice to see this still progressing.
