Lovely car this.

Not a lot. Most of his work was rally/track car builds.

MDA Motorsport used to do it in Ellesmere Port. He shut up shop as he was only running the business part time and wanted to concentrate on family life after having a second kid. Can ask if he kept the gear though.

That looks lovely. Were the door strips dull from the factory? They were always dull on my Cup but it had paint so I assumed they'd just been done badly, but they look similar on this. Pics really make me miss mine :(

That looked a really good condition car - even has the original splitter? Brave man to strip it and turn it into a track car! Looks good though, you've achieved a lot quickly!

I literally can't keep track of all of your BMWs ? Which one is the touring? Are you selling at any point (if it's even complete)? I'd still like one really.

I was looking at these recently. Seem to be able to get 2.0 TDI FR estates with sensible miles for under £10k now. Seems a lot of car for the money.

Nice job again. Roads looked pretty narrow. We're getting quite a respectable little rallying crew on CS these days!

Well done for getting the finish! Better than I managed on my first one! What brake set-up are you running?

I assume they're 4x108 so I would think so.

Not approved by Ford this time as they say the engine can't take it. Will be interesting to see how the tuning potential of these compares to the old car.

Yeah it's a very odd trend. One of the wheels on my Golf R had started to go before it was a year old. Ford have had loads of problems with some of their wheels. You'd think they would have learned by now.

Not sure they would do much for the ride lol

Yeah seems the 18" version is five stud only. I'm surprised they didn't move to five stud with the new car. Would look great with that style of wheel on it I think.

Good luck tomorrow Nath. Be interesting to see how you rate the Hoosiers and how the two cars stack up!

Can you get the Ford Performance wheels to fit these? Would look brilliant I reckon. Expensive though.

Turinis will finish it right off. Standard 182 wheels look pap.

Some seriously nice bits on this! Got a first event in mind?

What's it like at 4500rpm? I think you'd more likely be tested at that. Never been tested beyond 5k I don't think

Decent price for an LY and will only go up in value as people seem to love them in this colour. Set of anthracite Turinis would be spot on on this. Dragging up some older posts. Shame on you both for not knowing your 90s/early 2000s mods :confused:

Here we go:

This. Knowing this place, six months from now, you'll have another French hatchback sitting in the garage :ROFLMAO:

What's the difference between these and the ones fitted to the road car? Been doing some searching but struggling to find a definitive answer. I know the outer joints are different, but are the arms/bushes any different? Got a set sitting here and was wondering.

Been a while since I did a track day I must say, so you might be right.

Sad times :( glad it's staying on the forum. One of my favourites.

You're using a lot of revs aren't you? Most tests are more like 4500rpm

Just followed you on Instagram. WIll be keeping an eye on this. I did my first rally a few weeks ago after dreaming about it for years. It was a disaster in many ways, but totally worth it! You'll love it when you get out there properly. Sure you'll get over the teething troubles.

No problem. Totally different car but hopefully still some use! Just checked the Blue Book and it recommends that there is nothing within 3 metres of the vehicle to avoid false readings. That's when measuring at 0.5 metres which is the standard.

I can't seem to find the pictures I had under the car unfortunately, but this is the exit: IMG_20170507_163653 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr You can see in this picture that it drops down to come out under the side skirt on my car. I didn't want to cut the sill on mine, mainly because I was lazy...
