Just seen the video. Shockingly bad. That bad it’s almost comical. Worst driving i’ve seen for a while. Seems to approach corners by jamming their foot on the accelerator, turning the wheel and hoping for the best. It wasn’t my old hack. It looked like it had been boosted but then someone...

Not my old one then. I’m 99% certain mine is now split across 18 other cars 😂

What’s the plate? Can’t see the video anymore... Mine was broken I believe... 😔

I like you Jim, and your “give no s***s” approach to car ownership. It brightens my day when I know I can log into the forum after 3 days with the assumption you’ll have sold one car and bought another. Like a shared, perpetual car buying adventure. Volvos are also very cool. When done right...

Lockadile is in the water..... Never fear....

Was the traffic the same?

Welcome to the club! Cup looks nice.

Top, top work.

As others have said, focus on suspension, other handling mods and brakes. Then lighten it if it is track focused. After that, you have to spend a fair amount to get any significant power increases out of them.

That looks like some womble has managed to put the nut on “upside down”. Can you get a set of needle tooth pliers down there and unscrew it just one or two threads?

I’d start with the gearbox earth aswell. Clean the earth up properly.

It’s been in safe hands. Last owner who sold it was none other than our very own cup-a-soup. @NorthloopCup

:ROFLMAO:

Just popped out with your toddler then?

I ran brembo’s under 15 inch Willy’s wheels. Was tight and the brakes needed some minor modifications to fit, but the setup worked well once fitted.

Never thought you’d ask. Like all my christmas’ come at once. How long do you want off?

Unsure quite how to deal with this one.

Nom nom nom.

@NorthloopCup may have some good advice. Good luck with the build, look forward to seeing you out there racing as soon as possible. ?

There are 4 or 5 videos of it on track in my old thread. @Waitey - hope it goes well and you have fun.

Sad to see it go but glad it went to a good home and will get used. The PMS is one of the very earliest ones, hence it not self centring and is stiff. I never bothered swapping the bearing out because i’d got used to it, but as others have said you can upgrade the bearing on it.

End of an era. It is now at its new home. Good to meet @Waitey Enjoy it.

Maybe.....

I am much excite. Much excite.

I’m not buying it out of protest at the lack of campaign.

Cheers bud. I’m gutted, but needs must. @Addicted - got to get a house extension out of the way but I have my eyes on a Classic next.

SC’s are much more reliable than turbos IMO. It’s been SC’d since 2014 so it’s done 8k or so on the charger without missing a beat.

Cheers bud, yep be great to catch up. Sadly, life catches up with us all at some point! I’ve got an extension to get out of the way first, then i’m angling for a four seat classic a la 67 mustang or something.

Yep, looking forward to the weekend. I’m pretty sad about the clio, but it’s got to the point I feel a little sorry for it sat there not doing anything when it should be hammering around a track or b-road!

@Dr Jekyll The primary reason is it doesn’t have 4 seats. So it never gets used. It’s unfortunate, but life has other priorities sometimes!
