Yeah I switched to Flickr. Photobucket has become deeply shite!

All steps in the right direction though bud. If you're making proactive steps then you're on the way. I've sent a couple of applications out recently, for things I never thought I would get in a million years, and have been offered an interview for one, so you never know what's around the...

Glad things are looking up for you Mark. This is a lovely car so good that you get to keep hold of it

Cool little car this. The Ph2 rear end on a Ph1 does upset me slightly, but it does show how good a Ph2 would look in that colour! Nice build, some nice bits gone into it. I could spend soooo much money with PMS. I just avoid their website 😂

GRP bonnet would be a good one. Gets weight out of the front end that way, which is useful.

Yeah absolutely. Had a go in an Escort rally car with a sequential box a couple of years ago, just a totally different experience to my car. A "proper" car just feels entirely different, just so focused.

That's lovely! Would love a go in a proper Cup race car. Bet the gearbox makes it properly epic.

is @182_steve booked in for a turbo conversion yet? 😂

Mountune were the same. Have demos of their cars but can't drive them. Saying that, I went to a Ford dealer quite recently and they wouldn't let me test drive a Focus ST!

Parked outside the Riverside Leisure Centre this afternoon.

Turbo will likely give you more power if that's what you're bothered about. It would probably be more useable on the road too, as you should have a nice versatile torque spread if it's done properly. I can't say a turbo Clio appeals to me though. Not really what they're about for me. If I...

Love that, though the wheels don't do much for me. I went in an XE Nova years ago, it really did fly.

What on earth is a Golf Pirelli?!

Thanks Neil, would appreciate it if you could check.

What offset are they, any idea?

Now do I get the wheels? lol. Car looks lovely by the way!

Poor Steve, he's getting old and blind these days mate 😂

I'll be there, for work though.

Hope everything works out for you Mark and that things start to look up for you soon. Always here if you want a chinwag.

Sounds good to me!

I think you might find that with a lot of the options. Off-the-shelf tuning kits aren't easy to get here because there isn't the volume. To be fair, his 200SX was pretty brutal even with the standard V8 in it. It had a decent chunk of mid-range grunt so could break traction with ease in pretty...

Would love to see this when it's done, should be a lot of fun!

I might be wrong but I think the Lexus engine can be supercharged quite easily.

A friend of mine had an E39 535i. It was SLOW lol

I used to work with a guy who was into his drifting. He put a Lexus LS400 engine into his 200SX. It mated up to the Nissan gearbox with a bit of fettling. The BMW 4.4 V8 is also popular.

My sister used to have a Civic like that. Key in, ignition on, push start button. Utterly pointless! At least an Integra is a good car otherwise though. Her Civic was dull as dishwater.

Great result, nice to see a little Clio doing well. Door isn't too bad. At least it's a simple panel swap, rather than a rear quarter or something, could have been much worse!

Welcome over Matt.

It all depends how mad you want to go really: My helmet was c.£350 An entry level HANS device is c.£250 I got my suit off a friend for £100 (someone had bought it, but only realised it didn't fit after it was too late to exchange it) MSA starter pack is £99 Licence test is £180 I think you have...

I went from a Clio to a Megane 265, albeit via a Golf. Still have the Clio though. It's definitely a nice upgrade. They do have similar traits in some ways, but the meg does feel more grown up. In your budget, I think an R26 is the way to go. As someone above said, you're at the lower end of the...
