Nice build (apart from the awful skirts and splitter), but I'm not sure a 550bhp Clio appeals a lot to me. Doesn't really seem in keeping with what they're all about somehow.
Saw a Huracan STO on my way to work this morning. Didn't have time to get a picture as it was coming out of a side road, but it was in the same awful colour combination as this one:
Saw this on Pistonheads. These are a popular drift car in Saudi, and @P-Co had said he had thought about importing one. If you can put up with LHD, it seems pretty good value for a 2014 350bhp RWD coupe with a manual 'box and only 27k on the clock.

As you say, radiator supports rot, but it's not that expensive to sort out, so don't worry too much about it. Gearbox crunching is pretty standard, but not such a big issue (and an excuse to fit an LSD). Suspension bits are more expensive than a 1*2, as they have the twin-pivot hubs, so worth...
The two-door Impreza WRC is pretty much the best looking rally car ever. As you say, the WRC arches look a lot better than the ones on the 22B. The proportions are just spot on.
You need to try and get a copy of the little lip they had on the bottom of the front bumper on tarmac. Will be...
Over 50k with the options isn't it? And will only be sold in tiny numbers.
What a shame. The hot hatch market is getting a bit depressing now. This segment is getting to be mega expensive, and Ford are quitting it with the death of the Focus. Renault and Vauxhall have already gone. By next...
In the case of Ford, it's because no one wants small cars anymore. That's why the Corsa topped the UK sales charts, obviously.
Don't understand what they're doing really. It made sense when they were trying to globalise everything, but they seem to be going backwards. The likes of BMW are...
Some questionable mods, but I always quite liked those. Mad that Vauxhall made a VXR version of pretty much everything, then threw it all away and now make nothing of interest at all.
It's up for more than I paid for it in 2019 I think. Can't remember exactly what I gave for it. It's a shame about the problems. The body work was really good for its age when I had it, and I replaced 90% of the suspension.
He's the third owner since I sold it though. The guy who bought it from...
At least he is open about it. I bet a lot aren't.
Tommyfyeah, one of the American ones, has started getting loads of grief because he was doing shady deals with people.
All about saving money now. It's probably one of the better mags, but it has more "contributing editors" than it does pages. Seems like every every other hack is on the freelance payroll.
Daventry is a strange place to walk dogs. In my experience, about the only thing you can do in Daventry is get your hair cut. There must be about 10,000 hairdressers there.
Some nice stuff in there.
However, people who "stance" cars like that Maserati, or the Escort Cosworth and Integrale, need to have their eyes removed with a rusty nail.
That looks lovely, though not sure I'd want the 2.0-litre bit personally. A friend of a friend had one and it's one of the scariest cars I've ever been in. It just felt like it was a bit too much for a little bean tin like that. Didn't help that he drove like an absolute nutcase either of course.
DeMuro has to be the most irritating man on the internet. His voice is infuriating.
It's incredible watching a lot of these YouTubers though. As @dangerous dave says, they can turn two minutes of decent content into a 30-minute video. I stopped watching a lot of the stuff from the likes of Adam...
Beam is fine. Chassis leg above the spring seat will want attention sooner or later though. Not taking anything away from the car at all, but it wants a bit of a grind back to see how close it is to going through.
Great updates and still love this car. Sits lovely and the blue/white combo is brilliant.
Think you need to have a look at that rear chassis rail though. Don't want that rust getting too bad.
