Looks well!

What's next?

Like them in silver!

Another great write-up. Shame about the DNF, especially as it was totally outside of your control, but that's racing I guess. Might try and pop along to Snetterton if I can, would be good to see the car in the metal.

Lovely looking car that. Bet it sounds great and you've put plenty of nice bits on it already. The wheels would definitely look better silver, or with the ones on the red one above. You need to get someone to take some proper pictures of it though, yours don't do it justice. Need to get one of...

Yeah they're a very different beast really. I do prefer them overall I think though. They just give you endless confidence to push.

Shame but at least it's sorted now. Just get it out on some decent B-roads and you'll soon forget the setback!

Great write-up as always, look forward to the next installment!

Rallying is pretty much how they started. Most of the rally cars were broken up to build things like this ?

Eh?

Like it. Into these at the moment.

I've had a 172 Cup and a Meg 265. They're obviously very different, but you can sense the DNA. If you can afford it, I would go 250 over 225. They seemed to step up the quality a bit and a 250 is a nice, if slightly stiff daily. I loved my Clio, but the Mégane is in a different league really...

Good luck lad, hope you have a good one!

I think I prefer the hatch overall, but it's a car very high on my radar. Really want to try one. Like you say, pick one up with plenty of warranty left for low 20s and it's a very compelling package.

Matthew John Lewis on Facebook, has a white Escort Maxi

Corrected that for you ;)

Lovely build this, do like a track spec E36. Think I'd have to add some kind of dash though, looks a naked without.

Yeah it can pick up a bit of dust, but I just vacuum it with a brush attachment and it seems to work ok.

Just buy an ST and fit the Ford Performance wheels, job done. I don't mind the 18" ones to be honest. The 17" ones don't look as good for some reason. Wheels are an easy thing to change though. Alternatively, it could be the best car in the class and you see so many because you'd be mad to...

They're based on Performance Pack cars according to the press release and will have the LSD.

Ford have just announced a limited-run Fiesta ST Ford Performance Edition. Only 600 being made, come with Ford Performance Parts wheels and coilovers, as well as Deep Orange paint. They're based on a three-door ST3 Performance Pack. Not so into the colour, but the wheels look good. Those on a...

Yeah I'm of the same view as @Slamz really. I've tried to find some pictures online, but struggling a bit.

Well that's weird. I looked on Parkers.co.uk and it said 1600kg ? Is there a plate in one of the door shuts? That's where it is on the vauxpile

Be a nice result if you don't have to take the head off! Did you get a chance to check the towing weight?

A friend of mine has just bought an E92 Competition Pack in red, lovely looking thing. Need to have a go in it.

Did you drive the others you mentioned? RS or Civic? Would be interest to see how you thought they compared.

You'll be putting a lot of load through the pedals, so the mounting needs to be strong. Could you weld some bosses to the floor to bolt into? You could use those to set the pedals level at the same time. You may still find the floor bends a little. I'm not sure how stiff the floor is there really.

Glad you got them safely Neil.

Glad you're fixing it Jamie

Looking well Dave, the 335i is looking much better already. Did you get a chance to check the towing weight on the 325i? The Vauxpile broke down yesterday so now I hate it even more ?
