Yeah, Performance Edition, so factory orange paint, lightweight wheels and coilovers. Not a big fan of the orange personally. Those wheels would look awesome on a blue or white one though.

I hate everyone with a MK1. I want one :(

What are you lot talking about?! When I was a kid, me and my two siblings got carted about in a three-door Nova 😂

It is mental. I've had a 172, 197 and a Meg 265 and the mounts were pap on all of them. They make them so soft as standard. Funny really, as they usually make the suspension rock hard :ROFLMAO:

What I really don't understand, and this seems to go for all R.S. models, is why the engine mounts are always so s**t 😂

I think from a shift point of view, the MK3 is better than a MK2 in my view. And the lever isn't in such a stupid place 😂 The synchro thing on the MK3 is annoying, but the 'box in the 1*2 is pretty pap too in reality. Mine used to crunch away if you drove it hard.

One is a legend of the hot hatch world and famed for being one of the sweetest handling hot hatches of all time. The other is a Civic. 197 or 200, no contest in my view. If you can get a 200 Cup, then that's obviously the best one, as it has the quicker rack etc, but any of them will be fine...

A properly light MK1 with c.200bhp shouldn't be slow at all. Plenty quick enough really. The fun is in the twisty bits :cool:

Couldn't agree more. Don't think I've ever seen styling add-ons that really work. Splitters and things usually ruin them too.

I know what you mean, there is something nice about an original car, but these era of car for me is all about the modifications. The stuff that Top Secret, Blitz, Trial, etc etc were building around the turn of the century was just epic. Some of it was a bit lairy to look at, but they had the...

Nope, not a fan. I'd just have them in the standard colour I think.

Do really love an S15. I read too much Max Power as a kid though, so if I owned anything like this it would have to have a jap style body kit and be tuned to within an inch of it's life :ROFLMAO:

Anthracite is much better. Black doesn't quite work on this colour I don't think.

Saw this yesterday. People seemed to get rather excited by the Brera that came later, but I think these are actually better proportioned in some ways: It was a Blackline, but I assume not a big engine, as it had tiny brakes

Do love a Cossie cone filter. My old 850 T-5 had one. Nothing quite like 'em.

The eternal problem for FWD cars - all the weight is at the front :ROFLMAO: There is the usual stuff I guess: Move the battery inside the car Ditch bulkhead sound deadening Front fog lights Ditch plastic arch liners (if they don't protect anything important) Move the washer bottle in the car...

What's the towing weight of a Clio van 😂 Yellow one looks lovely.

Yes you could well be right. I can just see a massive fall-out and the whole thing becoming political if things don't turn out to be so bad.

That sort of talk will get you lynched 😂 Joking aside, if that turns out to be true, can you imagine the inquest?!

So you should be.

Sometimes it is, but you could have just said, "Going out still presents a risk, as you could break down or have an accident. If you need help, that's putting the people that help you at risk, and taking resources away from helping people who really need it. It's better to follow the rules and...

Maybe it is clear, but being an arse to people on the internet isn't going to make life any better.

Is it me, or are some of the replies coming across as a bit harsh? The guy only asked a question.

That's a bargain!

I wonder if the a search on the reg number would bring it up? Don't know if the DVLA would hold details on whether it was a JPS or not. Might be tough to get a picture of the plate but I could probably try. It did look like the sort of place where you might get shot, Tony Martin style though...

Oh and these poor things...

Went out for a walk this evening and came across this at the side of the road. Anyone fancy a resto project?

Has everyone been asking this question? I'm not sure that they have. Almost impressive that he managed to spin a drag race into a video lasting almost six minutes. I skipped all the s**t at the start as soon as he started talking about Covid. I couldn't care less what he thinks about that.

All the way. Rallying is where it's at.

Yeah the console question is the big one for me. I don't know if I can justify the cost of the PC for what I'm going to use it for. Nice. I've got an old Ford Motorsport Motodrive than I'm going to use for mine. Need to get a rig too.
