Ford Turbo's make awesome wastegate noises :) That looked like fun.. Do all rally drivers left foot brake or is Marcus special?

regardless of the name, Bodywerx in Radcliffe near me are brilliant. My mates iceburg 172 bonnet catch failed, the repair shop messed up painting the bonnet so he took it there. to repaint it and its a perfect match and a really good finish. Cheap too, 0161 725 9721 and ask for Jonah.

Hai, can we please stop arguing about the integrity of rota rims in this here media thread, its been covered plenty of times and any-one who is actually concerned about buying a set after reading things on the internet can start a thread in the tech sections. Cheers guys.

Re: NW/NE Meet, 30th Jan. If you read through the thread on the link there you will see that its going ahead, what with the replies and list of names going etc etc..

Ask him to give me a free set of SA3Rs?

So you also know it was Advan who named it an SA3R to make it sound sporty, not us ;)

So you need internal drive nuts how short do they need to be? I'll see if my cousin can get any at work for you... PM me ;)

They just happen to be skin coloured pants? Cars lookin good Laura, hope it makes it to some meets when its done ;)

He got the pikey spec version :( No turbo ftl..

PM Rarerims about the wheel nuts, Bens a good lad I'm sure he'll help.

Chris is on ignissportoc if you wanna check up on it aswell mate ;) My Ignis was possibly my favourite car I've owned so far, behind my 197.

I've got one you can borrow if you need to, Im in manchester tho. PM me if you want it ;)

I'm not very mechanically minded so I'll have a look and see if I will be able to take it apart without breaking it, but its not promising lol. There is a knocking/tapping sound but after hunting around a bit I've found its in the frontpipe on the exhaust, so its probably a missing blade or 2...

Lol, the V8 will end up in there I promise. I am gonna get it into DCMS and see if they can sort it out, as it still runs its just got the misfire and lags until about 5k revs. The local mechanic thinks the lag and to some extent the misfire might be because I have a T28 on an otherwise standard...

yeh twin three spokes the ones im looking at are polished lip. They are advertised as a bargain price so with the money I've made from selling the Rota's I've bought a Front mount now I just need a boost gauge and to swap for a stage 2 chip and it should have some speed aswell, should have...

no not RGs, you'll probably not approve tbh. SA3R 16s haha.

I didnt Watanabes came in 17s :o I've only seen them on a couple of AE86s and they looked 15s max heh. Either way I've just sold my Rota's and am looking at replacing them with some Advans lol

Mine look kinda like superlites but 17inch and with some nice dish.

:( I cant find the 'real' version of my Rota's...

Yours is a ph-quick though its cheating lol. When I ran my 197 against my friends 172 it was completely even, who-ever hit the pedal first pulled a car length at the most ahead. Saying that though Christopher had me by a car length or so from a rolling start :(

bah, mooved it.

For the record the 197 is even stevens with a 172, and a 172 is arguably even stevens with a cup. The differences come with the handling, the 197 is awesome and much better than my 172 is. I cant comment on trophy or cup though.

All of the pointless arguing has been removed, next post thats angry/argumentative/confrontational/off topic gets points. Thanks

Prospeed

if its 1500w RMS then you need a 1500+ amp to power it. bin the 6x9s and get some proper components in the front.

Black wouldn't be as hard to keep clean aswell..

I like Titanium rims but cant justify the price of them. Just like I want a titanium exhaust but for the S13 they are £2k!!

A really really tasty S15: It even has a carbon fibre sunroof :) Build thread: http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/51649-my-s15-spec-r-revamp.html Some more S15s:

If you get an airfield it wont all be straight line surely? And even though might not be fun it would be a good way of showing that you dont have to have loads of cash to make a quick clio. There are loads of people on here who tell us the best mod is to shed weight from the car, yours or jords...

It might be an idea to get whiteley/Jords F4R'd mk1 down there to see how they compare to the ITB'd/SC'd/Turbo'd cars. At the last meet I went too Jords mk1 looked about as quick as Bens ITB'd mk2 but then they didn't go drag racing to see which is actually quicker heh.
