Nice to see another rally type here. Look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Looks lovely that. They look great in white with the spoiler and black wheels.

Just fit standard pins on the back. Aero catches are a waste of time on the rear (and probably the front in reality lol).

Bargain! I would really like a VTS. If you get bored, let me know lol

You can say "so-and-so is better/faster", but I suspect this engine has been built to compete in a particular class of racing, so comparing it to a turbocharged unit is probably pretty pointless, as it would likely never compete against one. Based on my limited knowledge of drag racing in the...

Being as it's a drag racing engine, I suspect it's in a class for normally aspirated motors.

That seems a mental number. The likes of Millington over here aren't getting 400bhp from their biggest four pots I don't think. Bet that isn't a cheap engine anyway.

Yeah I expect it will happen.

Strong money but will absolutely transform it. They are crying out for wider arches. Add those, cup spoiler and decent wheels with a slight drop and it would be a brilliant looking car.

I don't mind the vents and wheels in black, ties in with the rest of the gloss black parts.

New one will be 4WD I believe. Some kind of transverse, Haldex (or similar) type arrangement.

The laying card thing really does bring joy to my heart. So simple.

That's a compromise I can live with!

This is where they really belong ;)

Sorry to see this. Hopefully you can make it a bit harder for them in future. I would recommend paneling inside of the door, and then fill the cavity with dirty needles. Or really poisonous spiders or something.

Surely that's just a disaster waiting to happen, putting all that power through those skinny tyres. Has it had much done to the suspension?

That looks absolutely spot-on.

My step dad had a couple of these many years ago. I seem to remember he spent a lot of time fixing them lol

Yeah, as above, not sure I could have three phase 1s but fair play. The sunflower and M5 would do me nicely.

That's ridiculous. I love it.

Would certainly be interested to see this!

MK4 doesn't suffer the same issues as the MK3 I don't think. I'd take that over the Volvo in a heartbeat to be honest. As it's a daily, I'd take modern refinement all day long.

Quite a few rally folk involved with development of this it seems. Sounds like they are going for a real sim feel with it.

Those things were just a brilliant drive generally. Needed a bit more power, but a great little car overall.

You've obviously studied the blur book more closely than I have lol. Saying that, I know plenty of cars running without them.

I went for these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quality-Pair-Battery-Terminal-Stud-Cover-14-20mm-Cable-Entry-Red-Black-Insulated/141912305995?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 God knows if they'll be any good, but they're cheap enough.

I just ordered some cheapy covers off eBay. If I find anything else that's wrong with mine, I'm just going to scrap it lol

Oh for god's sake lol

You're supposed to have terminal covers? I didn't know that. Scrutineer never mentioned it when he looked at my car.

Van looks good. Surprisingly nice those new Customs. Getting more and more like cars inside now. About a million cubby holes too lol.
