Think they suffer from valve stem seal issues which causes the smoke. My friend had a Z20LET in a Corsa C and it smoked cos of the seals. Wasn't a hard fix though I don't think.
I know someone with one that's going to be pushing 700bhp, so I think they can take plenty of power. As with...
I really like them. Yes they're chavvy, but who cares. I think they're a great looking car and I would have one over an Astra H VXR all day long.
I don't know how good the gearbox is - are they five or six speed? The six speed boxes in the VXR vauxhalls are pretty shonky by all accounts. My...
Hasn't it had a lot of the juicy bits removed though? I'm sure I read that it wasn't running the proper engine etc. Understandable though, parts are getting quite hard to find for the S11/S12 etc, let alone for one of that age.
I know what you're saying, but I think this has perhaps gone a bit too far. To put it right is going to take massive, massive work. He said he paid about £12k for it and it sounded like the history was a bit sketchy when he got it. While good ones are worth big money, I think this one is so bad...
Copied from the Ford thread, as thought it deserved a place here too!
Here's one to make the enthusiasts cry. I had a couple of parts advertised and the owner of this came to buy something. When I first saw it, I assumed it was a rep, but no, it's a genuine Cosworth.
It was, to be honest, an...

It was, to be honest, an absolute dog :( Obvious it was filthy, but the paint was dull all over...
That's mega. My new favourite CS car methinks. I loved @NorthloopCup's car, but the engine moving into this is next level. What type of flywheel is it running? I know it's a revvy engine and close ratio box, but the way the engine builds revs on the dyno is mental.
Can't wait to see it in...
Are extinguisher rules changing again, have I missed something? I have an RRS kit with six nozzles, I'm just going to let the car burn if that's now wrong lol
Pure Motorsport do one. Don't know if anyone on here has tried it yet?

I'd probably have more faith in the above than the Comp Brake one to be honest. CB don't get...
Ah ok. Thought the light might stay on if the wheel air bag wasn't connected.
One thing I would take from this is that, if it's a road car, I think I'd just keep the airbags, it's a lot easier ?
As far as I'm aware, if the car had an airbag from the factory, it has to have one for the MOT, unless the car has clearly been modified for competition use.
You need to find yourself a friendly tester, or strip the car out and fit buckets and a cage ;)
Not sure it will go full EV, but the next R.S. Megane will have some sort of hybrid tech in it at the very least, 100%. A lot of OEMs are going to start introducing mild hybrid systems to try and keep legislators happy, so I think sporting models will be ripe for it.
Isn't that something that's been widely debated? Talk of sticky tyres etc. Not really relevant to the point I know, but thought I'd throw it out there lol
