im glad, and im even more glad im slim :D i keep weighing everything as i remove it all from the car :cry:

have i asked the wrong question Fred? shall i get my coat :cry: my next question was going to be to ask how light people have managed to get thier cars, but i may hold that one for a few days, lol :cry:

Looking at wheel options at the moment, and being the sad anal buger that i am means im after the lightest wheels i can get hold of. considering the TD 1.2 as i know they are a light wheel and i can get some cracking prices on them, although i havent looked to see if they are available as a...

If I went down to the little details within the specs then the old one would stand out clearly. I had over 50k invested in the old car to build it up, and I broke it and gained 38k back, the engine alone cost more to build than what I've paid for the new complete car.

cheers buddy, interesting reading on a few threads there. and even better that the bodies they use are the ones ive been becoming closer within my thoughts of opting for :D

old one was 563bhp, new one is vaguely around 500bhp going by previous print outs and spec list. it will be off to my tuner in time for a once over and a health check before it starts being used in anger, and ill find out what its doing then. its running a T4 Turbo, 8 injectors, pectel...

no whale tail on either of the escorts. the new one is a delete aero model, and now sat on satin black RL7's, new brakes for the escort are on order. well, the black 182 hasnt gone to silly, shes got her suspensio on, 4 pots and bucket seat firmly bolted in place and then ive bought a 172 cup...

Twellsie, im hoping to be dropping into Marks later in the week to pick up some coilovers. if he has some top mounts in stock at the same time ill probably grab a set there and then aswell. if so, ill give you a nudge ;)

Liam, the car was stripped within 2 hours of getting it home. All damaged panels removed and interior gutted, it will certainly be used ;) I did see your mum just before we left, I handed back the item you mentioned ;)

You may be worth giving Porkie a nudge on that one ;)

Jon, your like me mate and used to having AP 6 pots and 378 discs which stop you on a dime whenever you want them. The standard Clio brakes are adequate but still need that bit more in my opinion, you feel as though you just need that bit more confidence so I went for the wilwood 4 pots for the...

i did try a search but came up with nothing, ill edit my own search criteria and try again ;)

with the car going to need a full interior repaint after the cage is fitted, and with lots of new panels going onto the car that will need the same. its got my mind ticking with the idea of having the 172 cup car painted in a frozen white to compliment alot of the dark and carbon detailing. ive...

Is that a picture of yours Emma? I'm aiming on getting my car into Mark Fish soon, he looks after a mates car and he doesn't have a single bad word to say about Mark :)

Saw a nice looking blue 182 driving thru Copthorne this afternoon, vaguely around 17:30. Didn't catch all of the reg, but I'm certain it started with HK05.

I've got DS2500's in mine, plus a box of DS3000's in the garage aswell. So there are options out there for them.

It's a black one, black standard wheels for the road and the plate is 'K16 BUB' It's actually the misses car which is going to be her first track car and then we will start looking for an inferno example or a fiesta ST for her as her daily :) We've already got the wilwood 4 pots on there, 2...

Pretty damn close buddy, I'm in Copthorne. Jon, go for the 15's mate ;) We can then have matching wheels on the clio's and escorts ;) Didn't see you Sunday, did you make it atall? I'll give you a shout during the week ;)

much preffer ours on 15's.

Or strip it, cage it, and have a spare wheel frame mounted in the boot so you can carry one at all times ;)

As per Dan's wise words ;)

As above. We generally as a rule drop them a few psi when cold and do a few laps and then see how they are holding up. You would be suprised at how quickly heat gets into your Tyres and how much it effects the pressure within them.

it certainly went well, started to pull the car apart abit aswell, lol. and a claim to shame, it was featured in Max Power back in September 1996. i have moved on a bit tho now..... ;)

Ha Ha, my first steps of modding was almost 20 years ago and consisted of dropping a 2L 16V vauxhall engine on NOS into a nova :cry:

i see no problem, to many of us it may seem a bit silly but if he has got them cheaper than renault seats and it allows him to have a little bit of pride in his car, then what harm is he really doing to the rest of the world. we all started somewhere with a few mods and minor fettling ;)

could well have been ours with the misses driving, private plate and black wheels maybe? if so, this one?

Re: pant code Most of my pants come from next, can't really be certain on the code of mine but I believe they are Medium! ;) :p Only teasing buddy ;)

i was helbent that my car was going to stay on 16" wheels, but they do look awesome on 15's and the benefit of better handling and feedback is far more important to me. ours, on 15's with 195/50 888's, this was the day the Eibach springs were fitted, and the car had rolled forward about 30'...

ive realised this buddy. only last weekend at the ring for the nurburg 700, i was pushing new shape M3's thru the twistys, and quickly realised how late i could brake and how much more speed i carry thru the bends. we were due to take the focus, but with that now up for sale we decided last...

Cheers Kam, certainly gives me food for thought over the coming few hours. i can see me just going for those, matched to a set of the AST top mounts. makes sense i guess to continue with the camber bolts, whiteline ARB, pollybushes and better engine mounts etc. all soudns quite feesable so...
