Prices for this stuff are going mad, so hopefully it will be a decent investment. It looks great. Think I'd have to change the wheels for something a bit more period rally style personally, as I don't think the ones on it do much for it.

Nice, love these. Is it modified much?

Love the ST205 Celica. Great looking car. Pure Sega Rally magic :LOL:

Thought I would give this thread a bit more love with a slightly oddball car - a Clio N5. These are built by RMC Motorsport in Spain and use a longitudinally mounted engine that is fitted into a variety of cars: Not sure about the front bumper, but the arches are quite cool!

BMW 1M spotted last night:

That's awesome

Dash dodgers can also be a pain in the arse when getting in and out of the car. In my old Escort, I endlessly kicked the front leg of the cage, as it was right in the way when getting into the car. Obviously a cage that goes through the dash and has double door bars will be awkward too, but at...

My mate's 182 rally car:

Nice. I want to say that did the Cadwell round of the MSN series, but I might be wrong.

That's certainly going to deal with a good chunk of it. It's going to stuff the engine tuning business anyway, so the economic argument for the tuning industry becomes a moot point from an engine perspective.

I think what's more scary is the amount of cars driving around with really shitty quality parts on them. I bet there are hundreds of thousands of cars with shite, pattern catalytic converters that barely pass emissions tests (and are probably more polluting than a lot of modified cars), or with...

I think that's the point I was making though. The example of the Golf is one that should be dealt with by common sense. If it's got so much camber that only 1/4 of the tyre is on the road, or the exhaust is loud enough to set off car alarms, then the Police should be dishing out tickets, or an...

The bit at the end about exhaust noise is also ridiculous. It's an enforcement issue, not a car modification issue.

The comments in the debate about "boy racers" (an infuriating term if ever there was one) seem entirely irrelevant to this issue in a way. That's a police matter. Driving standard are something should be managed by effective roads policing, whether a car is standard or not.

But isn't that the purpose of legislation? Those who have stupidly loud exhausts, or drive like nobs, can be dealt with either by the police, or by MoT tests. We don't need blanket bans on modifying, or heavy-handed legislation that dramatically impacts individuals or businesses. I think the...

Hopefully that will bring a bit of a sense to the whole thing. It's a massive industry in the UK, so hopefully there will be some desire to protect it.

Ridiculous really. It could end up with a scenario where fitting 2k's worth of coilover is against the law, while it remains fine to fit cheap aftermarket parts that are "OE spec" when, in reality, they're s**t quality Chinese junk that will fail after a few months. Even the exhaust thing...

Looks decent that. Not the most exciting car on the planet, but looks smart and I bet it eats miles like nobody's business. Had an A6 as a rental a couple of years ago and liked it.

So it seems the poor Twingo has met it's end. I sold it last September, just before I emigrated, but it has since been sold again by the sounds of it. Anyway, my mate (the guy I bought it from) sent me this picture earlier. No one hurt at least. Bye bye Twingo.

I do like the current Charger and Challenger. Really good looking cars in the right spec.

I mean obviously it would be pretty expensive to run in the UK, but I'd still have one if I had the money. Drove one a few years ago and they're brilliant. I don't care about the image, I buy cars for me, not other people. They're totally pointless and over-the-top, but full of character.

You're both weird. The AMG version is awesome.

964 out of those for me I think. I never thought the Enzo looked very good to be honest.

Trophy will always be top of the pile price wise, as it's the one people always go on about. 172 Cup will be second. Some of the regular ones in rare/desirable colours will fetch more than other colours, but colour alone won't be enough to make them as valuable as the special models.

Yeah S1600. Would look fine with the right wheels.

Pista: Modified R35 GTR:

Huge improvement. The standard 200 wheels are really not good. Just needs the splitter put back to standard now :LOL:

I like the red blade, would definitely keep it

Wish I'd bought one when they were so cheap. I know it's not a GTR, but still lovely with the right modifications on them. With Americans falling over themselves to import them, prices will keep going up sadly. There can't be that many good ones left in Japan now. I watched a video by Sammit...
