Yeah was reading that the standard injectors are basically maxed out, even at standard power, so to extract power safely, you need to change them. I'd be interested to see what the steering is like. Sadly it's a criticism that could be leveled at most cars these days though.

Yeah sounds like they make a big difference, With normal ones available for sub-£3k, you could probably make a decent track car out of them. I'm not sure if the later ones are forged. Some people do seem to have problems with them, but it sounds like the injectors are a bit weedy so, coupled...

The Nurburgring Corsa is supposed to be a big step-up compared to the normal one. Would be interesting to drive one. I think even the normal one could be good if you spent a bit of money on a diff/suspension. They're peanuts to buy now too. Shame the engine/gearbox isn't the best. Surprised you...

Yeah, they're getting very affordable now. I really did think it would be awful, but it was actually a decent drive. The interior isn't the best, though the seats are nice. Decent looking from outside though. Like you say, they have the fancy separate hubs and a diff, along with Brembos etc...

There is no doubting that it is s**t in many, many ways. However, my daily got written off so I needed a car in a hurry. This was local, cheap, had a tow bar and I can fit about 15 wheels in the back of it. The engine is rubbish, as are the gearbox, brakes and handling. However, for what it...

I don't know if these fall into that category, as there aren't that many of them about anymore. The chap above is probably more likely to go for a MK2 Focus ST in asbo orange I would think. Besides, I've long since decided that I don't care what other people think of the car I drive. no doubt a...

My dad had two GSI 16v company cars when I was a kid. And a Belmont SRI :LOL:

Black would probably be my preference to be honest. Arden is nice, but a bit obvious somehow.

It's a good job you're not judgmental isn't it? ?

Think they suffer from valve stem seal issues which causes the smoke. My friend had a Z20LET in a Corsa C and it smoked cos of the seals. Wasn't a hard fix though I don't think. I know someone with one that's going to be pushing 700bhp, so I think they can take plenty of power. As with...

I really like them. Yes they're chavvy, but who cares. I think they're a great looking car and I would have one over an Astra H VXR all day long. I don't know how good the gearbox is - are they five or six speed? The six speed boxes in the VXR vauxhalls are pretty shonky by all accounts. My...

Love it in yellow!

Hasn't it had a lot of the juicy bits removed though? I'm sure I read that it wasn't running the proper engine etc. Understandable though, parts are getting quite hard to find for the S11/S12 etc, let alone for one of that age.

I know what you're saying, but I think this has perhaps gone a bit too far. To put it right is going to take massive, massive work. He said he paid about £12k for it and it sounded like the history was a bit sketchy when he got it. While good ones are worth big money, I think this one is so bad...

Copied from the Ford thread, as thought it deserved a place here too! Here's one to make the enthusiasts cry. I had a couple of parts advertised and the owner of this came to buy something. When I first saw it, I assumed it was a rep, but no, it's a genuine Cosworth. It was, to be honest, an...

Here's one to make the enthusiasts cry. I had a couple of parts advertised and the owner of this came to buy something. When I first saw it, I assumed it was a rep, but no, it's a genuine Cosworth. It was, to be honest, an absolute dog :( Obvious it was filthy, but the paint was dull all over...

That's mega. My new favourite CS car methinks. I loved @NorthloopCup's car, but the engine moving into this is next level. What type of flywheel is it running? I know it's a revvy engine and close ratio box, but the way the engine builds revs on the dyno is mental. Can't wait to see it in...

A pretty rare car now. They were really good back in the day. Should keep going and going.

Really looking forward to seeing this out. Basically a Clio R3 with a good chunk of weight saved - should be a right little weapon!

Well done! Nice to see all your efforts coming good!

Are extinguisher rules changing again, have I missed something? I have an RRS kit with six nozzles, I'm just going to let the car burn if that's now wrong lol

Not surprising really, as I suspect they won't sell in great numbers. You get what you pay for when it comes to these things I guess.

Pure Motorsport do one. Don't know if anyone on here has tried it yet? https://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/clio-2-ph2172/clio-2-ph2172-wheelsbrakes/clio-2-bias-pedal-box-with-tilton-pedal-assembly.html I'd probably have more faith in the above than the Comp Brake one to be honest. CB don't get...

Comp Brake are pretty turd in reality. Weren't Pure working on a bias pedal box conversion for the 1*2?

You are the ultimate BMW nerd ?

Will look great, do it!

Looks great, love the grey/red combo.

I've always fancied a go at that as have been servicing on it for years. Clashes with a local event this year though, so will likely do that instead.

Looking forward to seeing this in action. Got a first event in mind?

These are certainly mega money now, but a mega car. As for the P1 being the ultimate, have a word ;) not even close to as special as the 22b.
