Nice toy! What do you use it for? It's fitted with an F7R currently I guess? Any engine pictures?

Why can't people crop screen shots?

Thanks for the advice everyone, will pass it on. There are definitely some pretty arrogant, nobbish people who do it, but some really good ones too. She follows one in particular, and I listened to a video he did (about learning to be a coach) and he relentlessly went on about how much money...

These are such a great looking car. The standard Puma looks a bit tall and narrow. The proportions of the FRP are basically perfect. It's just one of those cars where they got the looks bang on.

They just sound like a lot of hassle to me to be honest. I'd just leave the engine alone and enjoy going fast through the corners. If you want a fast Renault, just buy a Megane lol.

That looked lovely. The Prets were so much nicer than the standard wheels, and white, red and silver are great colours for the R. Far too many people went for blue. Yeah I imagine they respond quite well to modifying, and I guess there is a lot you can do as they share so much with Golfs and...

Love the GTI. I nearly bought one of the Kiwi Yellow ones before I bought my 172 Cup in 2013/4. They looked great with the white wheels. I wasn't that impressed with the drive at the time but, looking back, part of me still wishes I'd bought it. Love hot hatches from that era.

Lots of clever people on here, so hopefully someone can give a bit of advice... My missus (no) has started a business offering life/relationship coaching. She has been doing ok and has a few clients, but is now looking to make it a bit more serious with a view to hopefully making it something...

Think you were singing it when I got my Megane :LOL: If I had another it would probably be white or grey. Liked the red but, just like a Clio Trophy, it fades, so wouldn't want that.

Mid box chop solves that issue to be honest, as it gives them a bit of extra aggression without any horrible droning. It's all about the chassis really though. The engine is just the thing to get you to the next twisty bit. Black is the worst colour for them sadly. Wouldn't want a black one.

I want to join in, so here's the Golf I had for a year: Extremely capable, but not really involving enough for my tastes. I do really rate the MK7 Golf overall, but would probably have a manual GTI PP if I had another, or an Edition 40 if I could find one in the right spec. Not driven the...

Depends what you want from the car really. I've not been in a turbo Clio, but I imagine it would feel pretty raw and lairy compared to a Megane. The 250/265/275 is more grown-up, comfortable and a much better every day car (though still quite a lot more extreme than a lot of hot hatches), so it...

They do look brilliant. Even the normal one is a really good looking car.

Agree with @Naffoff. It looks blinkin' brilliant in the grey with the few red details. I think liveries on track days are a bit, well, naff (sorry :ROFLMAO: ) really.

The problem is, most stuff is in Arabic, so it's not always that easy :LOL:

Is there anything like this in Jeddah?

I guess they might get less viable now Evos are going up in value, though I suppose there are some other options. Some of the proto cars are getting quite advanced now, with long travel suspension like an R5 car. Shame it's mostly done abroad as MSUK are so boring.

Mental :LOL: M-Sport (the people that run the Ford World Rally Team if you live under a rock) have taken one of these: And combined it with one of these: To create this: Video: It was built by the new M-Sport Special Vehicles team, who will build you something equally crazy should...

Would look mega on Turinis. Your old one looked great on them. Not sure if I would go for white for daily use, as it's a pain to keep them clean!

I think I'd probably change the wheels personally. I like the red, but think it needs something aftermarket to pull it off really. Looks mega though. Bet it's pretty potent!

Yeah it's a very expensive and time consuming game. I'd definitely recommend giving a targa a go first. Easy enough to get a car together for that and event costs are way lower. If you enjoy it, you could then think about stage events. I definitely want to do more rallies but, with living...

Here is a quote I received for a 1.6 R2 Fiesta, just for reference: Think the above was plus VAT too maybe.

Bit more detail on the MINI:

I think a lot of it is covering transport, accommodation etc etc, so paying for the people running the car as much as the car itself. I know what you mean though, it's not exactly cheap. The idea of just turning up and driving does have appeal though.

This is for the Silverstone Rally School stuff: And this is for the MINI: The above is based on the 2022 championship calendar, but they said they could arrange hire for other events. Not sure what those prices includes but have asked them to clarify, as the SV stuff seems a bit cheaper than...

I'll find them and post tomorrow. Mini varied a lot depending on the event.

Interesting. Another name from rallying history. Why didn't you think the Civic was very easy to drive? I'm surprised there aren't more out there really. The engines are good and they seem quite popular in Europe.

Is it your brother's old car? I was going to ask them for more detail about it, because they just said "2.0 Civic"

Couple more potential options. Silverstone Rally School have a couple of hire cars available - a Micra and a Civic. And you can hire cars from the guys that run the Mini Cooper Rally championship.

Fiesta looks nice, but needs bigger wheels lol They're a great buy though. Really capable and the engines seem pretty ripe for tuning.
