Yeah it is mad really. My friend just bought a cooking '99 1.7 in black for a track car. It's done 50k, has full service history, the guy had owned it for 15 years....£300 lol. If I was building a track Puma, I would definitely not start with a Racing.

I put Cossie brakes on a 1.4 Orion once. It was hilarious, it stopped so well. I don't know why you wouldn't want better brakes, they can never be too good. If you want to modify your car, do it. It's not a waste of money if it brings you enjoyment.

Ok so Google can be distracting... Plus some others from my photobucket...

No. The GP might be a good car, but it's not exactly a looker. Though it will probably be worth more in the future as this has been modified so much.

Yes I know what you mean. As well as a couple of RS2000s, I've also had two MK6 Escorts with 2.0 Zetecs in and they are just not the same at all. A friend of mine had a 2.0 Zetec MK6 with about 160bhp and although it was probably just as fast as an RS2000, it just didn't have the character of...

Love the RS2000s @theburns1 I've owned two road cars and have two rally ones now. I think the Clio is the only car I've owned that has come close to sounding as rough and angry as an RS2000 with decent exhaust/induction on it. They get a lot of stick from people, but I think they are really...

Thanks bud, that's great. I will do a bit more research and see if it's suitable. The difficulty with my car is that I will be putting more strain on the electrical systems with spotlights etc so I do need to be careful.

Like that. love RS2000s in Aubergine. I had one in that colour but mine was a shed lol.

When when when?

Nice pictures - love your car! Definitely the best looking in that bunch.

Very interesting, think that's the one I was looking at that. Is that the one you have? A bargain compared to the race batteries.

That's a pretty cool little thing, bet it's a lot of fun. Saying that, I don't think I would do it to a genuine FRP. If I was building a lairy one, I would start with a cooking shell and fit the S1600 panels instead, as they're even madder.

Will definitely take you up on that! You will have PM coming your way momentarily too.

Ah ok. Are there any markings or part numbers on it? Any chance of a picture of any labels? Might help me find the right one :)

I do love an old car. 80s/90s hot hatches really were the coolest! Couple of my old cars first. Escort 1.6S (RS2000 rep apart from the bonnet): I know it's a saloon, but it was retro and awesome. Orion 1600E: Some random ones... My friend's Delta HF 4WD: S2 RS Turbo. I...

Show off lol. Looks excellent. As I say, I need a ride in it!

Looks absolutely brilliant Mark. You need to get some proper pictures, bonnet open, all that jazz. You also need to take me out for a spin in it when it's done!

Thanks bud. I might have missed this, but do you have a link to where you got it from? What are it's rough dimensions? Would be interesting to have a measure and if it would fit where I'd like to put it!

No the weather was blinkin' awful at times. I had just left Tony and was walking back to the car when it absolutely chucked it down. Got soaked to my skin! As I say, the 197 looked great, you've done a beautiful job on it. Seemed right in the mix too.

I do really like this car, looks great. Battery looks interesting. Would be good to see how you get on with it. I need a little battery for my rally car but have no idea what to go for.

On-track pictures next. Track Day Championship Qualifying: Tricolore/Nippon Qualifying: Tricolore/Nippon Race 1: Saloon Race: Tricolore/Nippon Race 2: For those in the know, feel free to tag the people I've missed who are members on here!

Popped along to Snetterton on Easter Sunday to see the Tricolore Trophy boys in action. Had a good chat with @Tony Hunter (nice to meet you) and a few other Clio racers whose names I didn't get. Also saw the 197 that @Russ Rallye built which seemed to go very well. As well as the TT, there was...

Well done Steve, car sounds great as always

Thanks chaps. Doesn't look to be a very big field but will try and pop along!

Very nice!

I wouldn't do it on a road car. If it's a mad lairy track car or race car then I think you can get away with it, but I think it's a bit much for a road car.

Wheels look good. Any overall pictures with them on?

Yeah it doesn't seem that easy to find a proper timetable anywhere!

It's my birthday in June, don't suppose you fancy giving me this? Absolutely love it.

Lovely cars chaps. 2118s look so so good on these. Mark, yours makes me want to paint bits of mine a funny colour! Yes but blue is better than silver lol.
