Awesome thread, not sure how I missed it before. Bet you get this finished before I finish mine to :(

I've said it from the start, these are great looking cars and having seen a few in this colour on the road I have to agree its a fabulous colour!

"Don't tell me how drive" ​love it!

Good times!

I went through 3 second had master cylinders on my build all sold as tested and working and all leaked. If you need to buy a new one try brakes international as they are normally very well priced.

Castlemorton, near Malvern.

Nope. Rewiring the dash (again) tomorrow as I got hold of some ETB gauges for much cheapness, and also going to fit my new programmable ignition, and charge the battery, and hopefully then I will have a car that starts much easier than it does at the moment. Might even get a video of the lovely...

Couple of photos of my ph1 that's now knocking on 157k miles. Nothing special, cars dirty and photos only taken using my iPhone, but I liked the result.

Didn't realise they had dropped the inline 4 and moved to V6s. Does seem strange to drop the engine sizes so much though.

Ph1 isn't.

Iirc, 6th was 3500rpm at 70mph in the 197. 172 is 3000rpm at 70mph in 5th

6th is same as 5th on a 1*2 though.

It's not irrelevant. However your interpretation was rather extreme. As an entry level Motorsport car, standard would be fine. Just like standard is fine for track days.

Yes, because renaultsports are renowned for their terrible handling...

Cobra clubman aren't they? I had a pair once, for about a week

Looks superb on the f1s

Have to agree with sam, everything I have heard and experienced of the 750mc up until now has been very positive, just a shame this looks like it has been ballsed up.

Wonder if its too late for them to change? Should have come here first lol

I can't be arsed to look it up as I'm on my phone but are the regs for the other single makes restrictive to the point of forcing you to buy from one company like this?

Regs don't mention exhaust? So standard exhaust? Kiss goodbye to your grid!

The thing that lets te Corsa down in my opinion is the lack of flared arches. Heading and from behind it just looks too narrow. Other than that they aren't a bad looking car.

I'd use whatever the higher spec zetec boys are running. Take a look over on locostbuilders as lots use them in kit cars.

That blower looks tiny in that photo

That is high. I know I'm a lot older (28) but 1 years Ncb on the 172 and a fault accident a year ago and only paying £750 funny thing is if I used all my Ncb from my z3 (10years) I can insure a 911 or Audi s4/rs6 for less than I can using it on the 172.

​Me to, awesome car.

Fit a turbo?

Really need multiple threads?

Manifold is cheap! Easy repair to. Carbs can be had cheaper than that as well. ​You know this car deserves them.

Always loved these

Mars is another epic choice. Tbh I just want a ph1 that isn't silver. Unfortunately I'm not allowed two weekend cars and I can't use one as my daily as work rules state 4 seats
