Cheers mate

Took these a while back and forgot to share them on here. Never attempted before but me and a mate tried doing some rolling shots one evening.

Doubt it mate. It's a proper shed and the paint is terrible. Was tempted to sport rep it but not worth it at the moment. Going to drive it until it breaks.

You can peddle well that's for sure. It looks pretty forgiving too when you push a little too hard. Still miss mine really! Ticks every box for a fun daily car.

Been a month or so since I last updated on the car. With FCS and the weekender events out of the way the car has now been sorn at least until next year. A lot of people think i'm mad, asking "why!?" especially given the time of year and to be totally honest it's the running costs when I want to...

Sprayed with Halfords satin black paint a year ago. No chips yet 8,000 miles later. Car doesn't see much of the motorway though. I didn't prime the grill first, just cleaned it properly, painted and then applied lacquer. Really happy with the results. Also did the lower grill and fog surrounds...

Were you driving back through Tunbridge Wells yesterday evening (Wednesday) as I spotted a Cup which matches your description. Looked nice if it was. I was in my shed daily DCI.

Sound advice @bashracing :up:. I'll get it tested and if it is the headgasket i'll chuck that in.

Cheers @Scrooge i'll try and get one done on Monday.

Long story short, i've bought this Cat D 113k DCI 80 off of ebay (went to see it first) on the cheap to try and fix up. I was told it needs a new water pump as it eats coolant and sure enough during the 34 mile trip home it went from maximum to minimum on the expansion tank. My concern is that...

Cool car but the colour makes it look like a cream leather sofa with wheels.

What's the appeal of these exactly? not saying it isn't cool. Once did some work on a guys house fitting a compressor for his car ramp inside his garage. Amongst the Wraith, Slr Mclarren 722 and countless other nice cars he had one of these. He showed us around and was most excited about a...

Yours sold almost instantly though didn't it? because it was worth every penny and probably more IMO. Was a very nice car. There's a guy selling my old Cup atm on here, "J17 CUP" and he wants £2500 for it. I sold it two years ago for £2750 when it was mint. It looks pretty unloved now tbh. Don't...

Try finding a Cup that is low mileage, does have good service history, has original turinis and doesn't look rougher than a badgers arse. People's standard of 'mint' varies so much but for the most part even low mileage cars look terrible compared to the ones that have been shown some love...

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay at the end of the day. It's probably the second most desirable car of the MK2's after the Trophy IMO. OEM+ versions are hard to come by these days, but as @Cribert has said there's not a lot of difference between the one he sold at £2500 and the one...

Mine leaks like this and I can't be arse to seal it up or do anything about it. Is that bad? I just keep it topped up.... It's free rust prevention.

I run 10mm at the front to clear my brakes and use a stud conversion. Works well. As above the most important factor whether you run studs or longer wheel bolts is getting a good torque wrench and checking them regularly.

How on earth did the GSXR manage to do that!? sorry about the Cup mate. Hope you get it fixed asap!

Amazing car mate. Wish I had gotten some of the engine bay and inside.

Couldn't agree more mate. Was probably my favourite car there!

Genuine Cup shocks and Eibach Pro Line springs. I wish it sat about 15-20mm lower really. I might get some cooksports soon Thanks mate, appreciate it!. The Williams 1 was No.1 and so was the Trophy so both very special cars.

So today was FCS. I was on the CSOC stand but had a good look around the .net stand as well. There were some nice cars on show!. Was brilliant to meet old friends and make new ones. Here's a few photos of the Cup after a mammoth 4 hour clean the day before. I just had to include some of...

Clio Williams 1 No.1 & 182 Trophy No.1 :hearteyes:

Sounds like a good plan mate, would be a shame to break the car.

Cheers pal, fingers crossed! It could have been. I let the car run right down to nothing before filling up yesterday and the problem persisted after but perhaps it just took a while to clear. I always fill up from the same shell garage with V Power though. I won't run it down until the fuel...

A 60 mile trip up to see Alex today and the car seemed fine upon arriving. It's almost as if a long run on the motorway actually improved the car. It's not been on the motorway in about 5 months. Alex drove the car himself for quite a while trying to get it to have the flatspot, pop or even...

Nothing looks that loose down the back but i'll bare this in mind. Very kindly Alex who works over at ED has said he'd have a look at it for me tomorrow so i'll update on here if we find the source of the problem. Cheers Graham I'm going to check the Lambda tomorrow and see if it makes a...

Sound advice. Thank you @Christ Almighty

I've done a quick search prior but couldn't find anything useful, i've also asked elsewhere on Facebook but thought what the heck - why not bother everyone on here as well. My car has developed an annoying flatspot at around 5k when under full load in 3rd and 4th. There's a dip in power for a...

Few updates, an another issue which has put me in a predicament concerning FCS. Car is still holding back and has a flat spot at around 5k. Engine Dynamics are taking a look on the 6th but have advised to use the car as little as possible as a precaution until then - FCS plus the trip to see...
