Most only have induction and exhaust mine included, some only have a decent exhaust, remaps are definitely worth it on these cars, if I was you i'd pay for a decent garage/mapper to do it.

Yep, once they're used they're locked to that cars ecu and won't work on another, even if you bought a licence the unit would be locked to your car and be useless to the owner, so you'd have to buy another licence so he could use it on his car again, by the time you've done that and bought the...

I had to use a bearing press and even then it took a few goes, it's made everything in my car vibrate like f*ck because it has zero give, but at least my exhaust isn't dragging on the floor anymore.

Fairplay, at least he's a real mate and covering all the bills.

Like you I prefer the older Fords, still some nice looking cars there, also some utter f*cking monstrosities.

Tell him to walk away, losing £100 deposit is better than losing the best part of a grand trying to make the car right, tell him to pay £12 CS membership and take his pick of all the far better cars in the for sale section, he won't regret it.

It's worth paying £12 to become a member, pretty much every car in the for sale section is cheaper than the one you posted, with belts done and comprehensive history.

£2.5k for a 182 that needs brakes all round and has never had a belt change? Whoever buys that needs their head examined, much better cars to had for that price in the for sale section, plus you can research the history by looking at the members posts.

It's cool and everything and i'm looking forward to seeing your progress, but I think this statement needs explaining a bit more, was he injured, how big was the cliff, how did he manage to drive off it?

One for the lottery garage, whoever built that was not f*cking about, imagine how much fun it would be on a track day. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-MK1-Cosworth-Built-for-speed-/291833427667?hash=item43f2a0b6d3:g:-zQAAOSwdzVXnfC3 This is a very quick...

I was taken to school in one of those through most of the 80's.

Pretty much, every time I clean the crap out of my throttle body i'm aware of how much dirt mine lets through, whether it lets big enough bits through to actually score the cylinders is another story. I haven't actually read the article as i'm too lazy.

Is your phone broken, where are the vids? We want throttle blips and a drive by.

I'd have an Evo if petrol was that cheap over here.

£1.40 a litre for super unleaded here. (98ron) $8.27 (US) a gallon.

Yeah that's going to be expensive in the UK, I imagine fuel is a hell of a lot cheaper in Canada?

A poor man's RS6 sounds good to me, i've only looked at them as an alternative to Impreza Wagons as they're a lot cheaper for a good one and they come with a lot more power as standard, what mpg did they get, low 30's?

I've always thought it would make a good dog carrier and general work horse, what was is like to live with in terms of mpg, maintenance etc, are they quick?

I do it every year.

Your Dad still comitted to it not being a trailer queen? I'd love to see what times it could run at Santa Pod.

Depends what you mean by FSH, stamps in a book from Renault aren't really that important, partly because there too far apart for what these engines need and partly because Renault are utterly useless and shouldn't be allowed to touch your car, what you want is an owner that's kept the receipts...

Also that service schedule is what to look for when buying one, if you buy from a member on here it should have been looked after, usually from the way they word an advert and how much info they provide will tell you if it's been looked after or not.

As long as you change the oil at least once a year, belts done every 5 years, these engines will carry on being strong way past 100k miles, I got mine at 50k when it was 5 years old, it's now 14 years old and is on 104k and it's as strong and reliable as it ever was.

Working in posh f*cker land again today, saw a yellow Gallardo Spider, an orange McLaren MP-12C, an Aston Martin Rapide, every Rolls Royse there is in one of their dealerships and drove past a McLaren dealership where they had two MP-12C's, one of them a spider which just looked incredible.

Working at Tatton park today, which as it turns out is surrounded by very posh houses, very rich people and high end car dealerships, so just today I saw : Ferrari 355, 458 Italia, Brabus G Wagon outside a car dealership with a price tag of £135k, new right hand drive Mustang GT, Morgan of some...

I just thought it was meant to be about sh*t car vids rather than random sh*t, not that I actually care in the great scheme of things.

How come this is in this section, almost none of these vids have anything to do with automotive or motorsport.

Monsters!

Talk about teasing us, you could have at least blipped the throttle.

Yes, when you turn the key, the engine does indeed make noise, if you want it to stop, turn the key the other way.
