I remember a guy I knew putting 15" Evo Rs on his Orion EFI. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world at the time. No one else I knew could afford brand new wheels :LOL:

They were in about 1997. They were on everything. They become unfashionable about as quickly as they had become popular though.

Saw a lot of pictures of this event on social media over the weekend. Looked amazing.

Obviously everyone will have a different view on what represents "good value" but, if you're that conscious of a type when it comes to money, modifying cars probably isn't the hobby for you. We do this stuff because we want to do it, not because it makes good financial sense.

You probably spend more every month on tax and swapping your insurance :p:LOL:

Didn't someone fit a 197/200 'box to a 1*2? Don't think it was on here, but sure someone shared a link to a Facebook post st some point. Assume it would need custom mounts and shafts though.

Let's face it, 99% of its use will be for p**n.

As someone above said, great for certain workplaces as a training aid, and ok for gamers, but a gimmick for anyone else. Can see plenty being bought and soon ending up on a shelf, gathering dust. We keep being told that VR is going to take over the world, but plenty of the big tech companies are...

I had a bit of a giggle the other day. The big boss asked me and another senior manager to draft an email to a major potential client. Said senior manager got called to a meeting, so I said I'd draft something and we could chat about it when he was done. He is really into chatGPT so, before he...

As you know, I don't really 'get' the Volvo thing, but this I totally see the appeal of. Maybe do the wheels in white? Would tone it down a bit and look against the body work.

Why do all EVs have such awful wheels? It's not my bag, but I see the appeal if it's just a cheap commuter.

I think I would go into it with caution to be honest. You might love the 5 but, if you are used to modern cars, you might hate it. Let's face it, it's going to feel ancient, not that fast, and generally like you're driving round in an empty biscuit tin. There's nothing wrong with all that, but a...

Really sad news. One of my favourites on the forum. Looked perfect with the 2118s against the RB.

Didn't know that. So is this the right one? https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lemforder/1266792

Seems a stupid question, but can anyone recommend somewhere to buy track rods for my 197? I can find track rod ends, but not the track rods themselves. RPD don't have any stock, ECP don't have Lemforder or even Moog, Autodoc don't have any decent brands in stock - is there a global shortage or...

Monky London is just as bad in my view. One day one of them will kill someone.

Thought the same when a video popped up in my feed. Wouldn't give any of them the time of day. Sooner one of them gets banged up for doing something stupid the better.

Storm Grey is such a good colour for these. Look forward to seeing the progress!

I used to see that Trophy regularly I think. Would pass it on my way to work most days, as he always used to be driving quite steadily. Wonder if it still has the same owner.

It's a stretched version of the Austral, which I had never head of. Not sold in the UK, and the new Espace won't be either apparently.

Seems a shame. I know it's not a very CS car, but the original Espace was a genuine moment of innovation. It created a whole new genre of car. To bring the name back on yet another SUV is pretty lazy, and a bit of an insult to the name. I'm not sure the car industry could get much more...

Yeah that's probably it, as my mate bought it a couple of months back. He must have got lucky if the seller wasn't being helpful for you. It looks pretty decent from the pictures I've seen:

My friend has a silver one, so could be the same car!

There can't be many in NZ. A friend of mine out there has a Ph2 and a Twingo RS, but seems like Renault Sport cars are pretty rare there.

No I don't understand either... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165996864108?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Yey9mZ2oTmG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=wZajmMhFRUi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

Just buy an ST-1 so it doesn't have keyless. It would be fascinating to see figures for how many have been stolen. I bet it's a tiny percentage in reality.

I don't understand this thing. Why use the Explorer name on something that isn't actually an Explorer? Can't they afford anyone that can think of car names? I can see Ford being gone from Europe before long, at least when it comes to cars. They seem to have totally lost it.

Might be a slightly weird request, but I need to create a couple of document templates in Word; one for a letterhead and one for an internal memo. I need them to have fixed fields, where people can't change the layout or font. Does anyone have any good guides on how to do this? Microsoft...

The keyless entry was susceptible to range extending devices etc. They introduced a motion activated key for the MK8 but I don't know if it was made available for the MK7.

I have spent a good bit of time driving both. The Fiesta is obviously a lot more civilised and way easier to live with on a daily basis. The seating position is a little higher than I like but, compared to the Clio's weirdly angled steering wheel and silly gear lever position, it's still an...
