If it's only a temp car, I'd just stick with the Volans. I think they look ok on it.

Yeah but Clios are good 😂

Pics of R19? I love a 19 lol

I had a Klarius system from ECP on my 172 Cup. I fitted as it had a Ktec Super Sport Stealth when I bought it and it was loud enough to wake the dead. It was bloody awful. The Klarius was ok. Seemed to fit alright, but the centre silencer had to be replaced fairly quickly, as it started...

Who in earth is that irritating man? He pulls faces like a sex offender when he is driving it. 22beeeeeeeeeeeeee

Gearbox was for motorsport use. At that time, Group N rally cars had to use the OEM gearbox and ratios, hence Subaru doing it to their limited editions, while I think RS Evos have similarly short ratios. They were very committed to the cause compared to the likes of Ford and Lancia. It will be...

These are very special I must say. Subaru did some pretty mad stuff with the Impreza over the years, adding the close ratio box, factory roof vents, intercooler spray etc. They got into a proper arms race to keep the rally cars competitive, adding bits to maximise the performance of even the...

I am kind of with you to be honest. The 106 and 306 looked great because they ditched the big side vents and fussy details, but a lot of the others haven't aged well (not as badly as the Reiger F40 kit). I think the 205 is one of the better ones, especially with the proper Dimma wheels etc. The...

He was too northern for normal people to understand.

Wash your mouth out:

I'm sure it will be quite an experience. Obviously it will feel about a billion years old compared to the BMW, and probably not that quick by modern standards, but I imagine it will feel very raw too. Always preferred the four-door Type RA to the Type-R, but I do still have a real soft spot for...

Does the Type-R have short gearing?

Not at all. I'm totally with you. There is something really cool about them. Reminds me of the Ashley Group N system on my old rally car. No chrome, no fancy shapes, just pure function over from.

Evo 1 bumper...

Dimma worked with Peugeot Sport to develop the panels for the Maxi I believe, then launched them for road cars. The first Maxi 306 had a bumper like the road going Dimma cars. The one above is an Evo 2 car, which gained a different bumper. The 106 Maxi panels were also a joint venture between...

Looks soooo good in white!

How have the arches been widened on the back? I hadn't even noticed!

Yeah that's the stuff. So much nicer than the monster vents on the other ones. Proper motorsport cred too.

Mmmmm...

I'm not into most Dimma stuff to be honest. The grills are a bit '80s Ferrari/chest wig for me. The 106 and 306 were lovely though.

Welcome! You'll have a lot of fun in that!

I sort of get it, but it's just progress really. Unless you want to go for big power, there aren't really any downsides. The three-pot probably sounds better too :ROFLMAO: I wonder if it's the lease/PCP thing that's had an impact too. I'm not sure the deals have been as good on the MK8 so far.

Why does three cylinders matter?

Is any track boring? They all have their challenges. @MarkCup why are your seats down? :ROFLMAO:

Love it!

I notice a few of the lower end car YouTubers have latched onto these competitions. Obviously they think there is money to be made. Probably seems like a quick earner compared to the usual earnings model.

You seem to be able to do what you want in Escort world. The rally boys are building brand new cars from shells/panels made in china, with 100% new components, but putting them on old registrations.

I love a Crown Vic

Looks nice! I like them in red

I listened to the Car Throttle Podcast with Brewer on and thought he came across a lot better. No surprise though. Even he admitted that it's a bit of a caricature on Wheeler Dealers. Never really got into Car Throttle generally though I must say.
