Ah ok. Thought the light might stay on if the wheel air bag wasn't connected. One thing I would take from this is that, if it's a road car, I think I'd just keep the airbags, it's a lot easier ?

Would that work? If the airbag is wheel, and the air bag light didn't come on (and go off again), is that still not a fail?

As far as I'm aware, if the car had an airbag from the factory, it has to have one for the MOT, unless the car has clearly been modified for competition use. You need to find yourself a friendly tester, or strip the car out and fit buckets and a cage ;)

Not sure it will go full EV, but the next R.S. Megane will have some sort of hybrid tech in it at the very least, 100%. A lot of OEMs are going to start introducing mild hybrid systems to try and keep legislators happy, so I think sporting models will be ripe for it.

Isn't that something that's been widely debated? Talk of sticky tyres etc. Not really relevant to the point I know, but thought I'd throw it out there lol

True. I'd just chuck some VHT paint at it or something. The OCD is strong with me though lol

Ktec have one for about £27k. There is one on eBay for £29k.

Oh there are genuine reasons if you look at it subjectively, but the collector car segment is far from subjective :LOL: They've struggled in the past, but car speculators and those willing to fork out for limited edition are plenty in number, so who knows. It's mega money and way beyond what I...

That is f**king pornographic - love it!

Interesting this. I get what you're saying but, in rallying circles, some people seem to struggle to get the best out of FWD cars. I definitely agree that pedaling a powerful RWD car takes balls but, when it comes to skill, getting a front-driver to really work (especially when not on a race...

Paint your bloody cam cover man ?

It's definitely going to be interesting to see if they can sell them all, as they've obviously struggled in the past. We do live in an age of collectors and speculators, so maybe it will this time. If it had a Ford or BMW badge on it, it would sell out in an instant.

The Civic wasn't a production car, so I don't think it's 'record' should be taken that seriously. Though how close to production spec any of the record holding cars are will always be up for a date. At least the Mégane doesn't look like a total disaster though lol

You should be able to see some holes in the front of it. The bolts are in there. Mine had one missing when I bought it.

Nice! I've always fancied a standard Cup. Will be rare in the future as so many have been stripped.

I really do hate body shops. What on earth have they done there?

If it's going in the wheel well, can you make a removable cover? I'd feed from the tank into the wheel well (bulkhead connector in the front/side of the wheel well). For the line(s) to the engine, you could just use a bulkhead connector to come through your wheel well cover. The cover could be...

You'll have to get in line behind me lol

Middle silencer delete? You won't regret it!

Why don't these things ever come up for sale near me lol Look forward to seeing this come together!

I want one :(

Subscribed, looking forward to another epic engine build knowing you!

Welcome aboard!

Looking well now!

Oh ok. Guess it depends if diffs etc are available for the jb3

Maybe you should contact these guys, this looks pretty rapid! I reckon I would just try and build a spare engine over time. Set of cams, some head work, maybe a skim if you can get away with it, then some ITBs and a decent exhaust if you can find one, see where that gets you. Should go well...

You're right in reality, pretty unlikely to get checked. Think I'm just old fashioned though. Don't see the satisfaction of you get a pot for winning the 2.0 class in a car bigger than 2.0. You're just cheating yourself really.

All depends on risk vs. reward I guess. If Motorsport UK found out, you would obviously be excluded from the event you were on, but I wouldn't be surprised if you suffered a ban or something too. Wouldn't be much fun for me, knowing I had an advantage through dishonesty, though I'm sure there...

Yeah I've heard that a combination can work well. The Escort just has four spots and will probably stay that way but, when the next build starts, I think I might look into doing four spots in a lamp pod then, as you say, do some LEDs at fog level. Not urgent really though, as we don't have many...

What sort of light bar did you use? Have wondered about trying one, but I'm a bit cheap lol
