That would sell.

Thats feckin terrible driving. It looks like a posh form of banger racing. Bet its only a matter of time before someone gets hurt in that championship which will no doubt have repecussion down the line in other motorsport where people actually have some idea of how to race a car ie not like your...

Sounds pretty good. Will you be playing with the torque converters stall rate then for big launches? My mates cars are awesome on track but he has to cruise at about 95-100 to lock the converter out on the road. It's no big deal other than using about 2 mpg.

Will this be using an auto 'box when finished? The flywheel looks very similar to what's fitted to my mates dragsters which use auto's and trans brakes etc etc.

Yep, mk1/ph1's are always the ones best kept hold of!

I'm quite glad they haven't published an official lap time for the ring. Pretty bored of how manufacturers now use the ring as a marketing ploy or even a branded model like vauxhall has with Astras and Corsas. It means feck all really because it might do xx min xx sec around the ring but be...

I do think your quite right in think that but in reality they still get pushed pretty hard. The drivers aren't the owners much of the time and its bloody hard to take the red mist away from some drivers. Harvey pushed the 500 to breaking point at Silverstone Classic last year whilst trying to...

My comment was abit tongue in cheek tbh. A modern evo/scoobie chassis however would tear a lancia 037 a new asshole group b or not. Granted 2wd's aren't slow especially on tarmac but on gravel there is no comparison......other than how cool an escort looks at full chat sideways.

2wd rally car?.........not that bright! Lol Awsome car in my opinion. Imagination and a clear vision of what you want gets you something like that. Funds obviously feed the project though. Fair play to both the lad and parents/funder.

My advise would be go out your way and find a good ph1 v6 not a ph2. Ph2's have a better rep because they have a few more toys in than the ph1's and reno apparently "fiddled" with the handling. Its now 2014 and the cabin of either car by todays standards are toyless and you hear of as many...

If you like that car you should see his other Renault. Absolute perfect group B TDC Maxi 5 turbo.

More pics! Looks a great bit of work.

Had one of these last year as an alternative to a T5. Was a great car but the big end went one evening due to oil starvation. This was after saab fitted a brand new engine inc turbo and revised breather system so its worth constantly keeping check on the oil. I wish I did anyway as it was pretty...

Says who? Its all opinion isn't it? I like clios on speedlines dont get me wrong but its not to say that everyone who doesnt own a clio think so. Same can easily be said for other makes and models.

Yep yep, that could work.

No problem, just try harder in future please. Lol No offence meant by my post either by the way. Bit of advise for you though, put a "pop and bang" remap on it. 90% of the forum will instantly give you the thumbs up from that point on.

Ha. This thread makes me laugh. I have to admit, when I see your name next to the original post I was ready to dislike it. Truth be told that's because I instantly think "c#nt" after seeing your London video with your prick of a mate giving people abuse. You might be a nice guy, I don't know you...

Yes the AKM/Minisport iron head is hugely over rated. I built one back in 07/08 and it wasnt that great considering the initial cost of the head casting. It was a very simple conversion though. I'm currently building a 16v 970s which i hope will produce just shy of 130hp at 11,000rpm. It will...

Propper awsome bits of kit. Love their Cooper S more so than the spaceframe. Looks just like mine only with a different colour roof. Is it 7 or 8 port or full fat twin cam?

F40 is 100% fake. The large offset front wheels give it away. Obviously there disguising a narrower chassis.

So after 12 months driving experience, a possible 1 years no claims and a purchase of a nice 2 ton, 5 seater, 160 odd mph, high performance saloon to easily kill him and 4 mates in he gets a £1100 bill..........f**k OFF! Its a recipe for disaster in my eyes so any insurance company would have...

Would love a go in one of the Suzuki's. My missus had a shitty peasant spec 1.3 Ignis when I met her and I maintain it was one of the best engines ive drove in ages. Was so nippy for what it was and went like the clappers once above 4000rpm.

Bloody hell, Paragon is literally 200 yards from where my parents live. Road is hideouse outside there unit pothole wise.

I remember tuning the hell out of one of those engines a few years back for pennies. Would love a frame like that to do the same to. Had such a laugh doing it too. Heavily ported and polished, bigger valves, uprated cam, re barreled to 150cc, lightened and shot peened con rod, mocal oil cooler...

Haven't touched the car for a while but it was un earthed a couple of weeks ago now the weather is better. Last saturday was spent making a jig to replicate the clio's engine bay and trial fitting the new engine. The good news is that the wider 90* v6 fits beautifully where I want it to. Once I...

Looks lovely mate. Sooooooo nice to see a nice Ford with out tacky cheap polished and chrome parts fitted under the bonnet.

When I win £106,232,568 and 39p on the lotto roll over....zzzzZZZZZ..

Looks bloody brilliant IMO. Probably doesn't look so dramatic as people wish as its so effective at doing its job. I give it the thumbs up.

F1 and other high end motorsport has been ruined by strict rules in my opinion. Lets hope it doesnt go as far as killing clubman and lesser type motorsport.

Nice project. Cant beat a swedish wagon for a laugh. I've currently a V70 2.5 turbo with awd box and its funny leaving type R's etc behind while the Jack Russell licks the back window. I think the exhaust manifold gets abit restrictive north of 280. An S60/V70r cast manifold gets over that...
