EFA. I often wondered what you could do with a bit of sandpaper and some time and simply smooth out the hack job they did, and how much difference that would make.

Yup, standard.

You never had me. You never had your car.

Yeah, Lee's done some bits for me too and very happy :up:

All together now... Sounds good, admittedly.

Those gearchanges sound very fast for a manual box...

Nah, it'd be getting polished. :D

I hope he didn't.

Anyone know if natural selection succeeded this time?

'Low cost endurance racing' Lol! Great build so far :)

Completely winning at life. This, a Z8 or an E30 M3.

One of the very, very few BMW's I'd ever own. Such a special beast.

Oh, yeah. That's where I saw it. Mk2 to answer your question though. Just leave the interior in it, and run something like Cooksport springs rather than coilovers.

Beautiful!

Most importantly pics are required of the Toyota, Alfa and 240Z. 'tis the law.

I have a serious hankering for one. Well, any clio rally car really, I'm not fussy. Keys in a stamped addressed envelope!

Aren't R3s the rally car, not the cup car? Didn't think they were the same.

Pretty sure the O-rings that you use on aircon systems are not the same spec as diving gear. Unless you're using green O-seals on your diving kit :hushed:

You almost had aircon? You never had aircon. You never had your car.

It's not the sound. It's the feel.

That's not a good idea though. I bet it gets pretty warm charging under there. Plus if you've ever seen a LiPo battery go bang I can guarantee you wouldn't want to be sleeping with your head on top of one.

I can't really speak for FPS, as I don't have much interest in them TBH. Definitely worth it for driving though.

But then you've got 2 desktop cards trying to dissipate heat through a laptop chassis, which always goes well. For £4k you'd be much better off having 2 seperate machines! I'd disagree. There is a HUGE difference between 1080p and 4k, but the smaller your screen is, the less noticeable that...

What BHP gains? Turn the aircon off, the clutch disengages and removes the load anyway. 0bhp gain. It does entertain me greatly when people with fairly stock cars delete the aircon. Particularly when they have several KG's worth of K-tec boot-and-bit-where-the-rear-seats-were mat sat there...

Cookson had a really good one a while back. Had 3 near accidents in the space of a minute. 2 of them were his fault though IIRC. Here's a few. (audio and video aren't synced in the next one, I revved after they drove through a red) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5cEl-pim6U...

Found as a rotting shell in Canada. Flown in, completely restored, completely immaculate. 600 miles. Worth a fooking fortune.

I've seen all kinds of cracks on rally cars doing sprints and hillclimbs. If an MSA scrute is happy with it, I don't see why a trackday scrute would be too bothered. That said, there's always the odd anal one.

I know of a fella with one of these engines making 600+bhp supercharged with one of these engines. In a Sylva Striker! (caterfield rep)

Oooh, it went sleeper. Nice!

He's had a misfire problem (which ultimately turned out to be a dodgy sensor!), died on him at one point (as a result of the misfire problem) and all the valve clearances needed doing. It's mainly paranoia!
