I have one blowing into the standard dash-mounted windscreen vents in my Escort. It doesn't appear that good so far to be honest.

It's not a Clio, but hey ho...

I just get an error when I click the link above :(

Looks great that. I want to wrap the roof of my Escort but worried about f**king it up lol

I'm still interested in this!

A lot of what motoring hacks is b****cks to be honest. And I say that as someone who works in the business. The FK2 Civic Type-R was rubbish compared to the FK8 because it didn't have independent rear suspension, while the Meg RS and Fiesta ST are some of the best hot hatches ever, even though...

Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble stevS. Hopefully it will be sorted soon!

Love it!

Must be VW fanboy in full effect with prices like those being mentioned. As others have said, I simply can't comprehend the fascination with these things, but each to their own I guess. £5k is quite a few hotel stays 😂

I probably wouldn't bother going for used stuff, not unless you can 100% verify its history.

EscortEvolution? Blimey, that's going back a bit...

Fatty induction kit is one of the best things I ever did to mine. Cheap and cheerful mod that gives the car even more character. As a couple of others have said, make sure all the suspension is fresh and then go from there. You might decide that it needs nothing or everything!

Yeah I have used Pipecraft, really helpful.

This thread reminded me of an Abflug Design RX-7 from an old Max Power DVD I had:

1.4 powerhouse, 17" wheels to make it even slower, Peco backbox, sub in the boot, Alpine CD player, loved it: FiTP2005FrAndy by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr DSC00457 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr

I'd fit Recaros, maybe partially strip the rear, but carpet it and keep it nice. Most people I know that have stripped and caged their road car have regretted it!

Love it, looks great on those. Would probably bring the rears in a bit though I think.

They're lovely, good choice!

I must say, owning a car like these, it would drive me mad not being able to drive it because of bad weather. It's kind of what they were built for lol.

Dear god I want a white phase 1 now.

Any more pictures of this? A white phase 1 would genuinely rock my world lol

I saw an 8 on the road this morning, so some are braving it. Was probably brown and crusty underneath mind 😂

White would have been great for the Cup, given its motorsport pretence. I do keep wondering about doing a white one.

This car demonstrates just how wrong Renault were not to offer these in white!

Looks good in silver actually. Bit different to the norm.

Mine is on almost 138k now...

If your head is close enough to the cage when you're strapped into the seat for headbutting the cage to be a risk, I should think your seat needs moving...

Interesting. I wonder if the Gaz top mounts strain the body somehow. Has @Pauleds strengthened his top mounts? His car has done a few events ok. If his has survived, it might suggest that the Gaz mounts are an issue.

Buy car, spend lots modifying, sell car, buy car back, spent lots putting it back to good condition, sell car again. Winner lol.

Oh my! That's mental. Have you had any big landings in the car? Is the suspension bottoming out?
