Absolutely love it. Wheels, stance, it's just perfect!

Brilliant! Where do I sign-up?!

That's not how giving works ?

Doesn't look like it fits. Maybe it's better if you scrap the whole thing and give me the engine to put in my rally car?

The swaged pipe/Ramair filter worked ok on my Clio but, on my Escort, it was a struggle to get the filter onto the swaged pipe. I got it on but the rubber base of the filter split in no time. I ended up cutting the swage off on that one, as I was too cheap to buy another pipe lol Swaged pipes...

Love this project, it's mad and brilliant. One of the few Clios out there that needs 17" wheels though!

If it's a 172 Cup, it will 99.9% be the 54mm spacing, as that's what they were from the factory. Pretty unlikely that it's had 182 Cup hubs fitted. Fitting fresh factory dampers is a decent move and, last time I bought some, they weren't actually all that expensive. Think the rears were about...

Looks very smart in black I must say. A friend had one and seemed to like it. Nice cars and coming down in price now.

See :)

That looks so awesome.

That's not the 'proper' R3 airbox. They had a fruity carbon one. The Cup racers used the one above and maybe the R3 Access cars. I'm sure @NorthloopCup will correct me though.

That looks like quite a project! Good luck with the rebuild. I love MK1s!

I've been driving my Clio daily for the last few weeks for the first time in about two years and I still love the noise of the fatty intake. Makes the car sound angry when you want it but, if you drive gently, it's pretty quiet to be honest. Let's face it, if you're into refinement, a Clio...

Are you aware of redtube? It's much cheaper...

That drives me almost as mad as when people post screen shots from their phone without cropping them, or people who can't rotate their phone by 90 degrees to take a picture.

Didn't you change quite recently lol

I know two people with RS Audi's and they both have offset plates. What's the fascination with it lol

Love it! A mate has one of these with a couple of exhaust mods and it sounds savage.

Bet that's a right laugh. A mate bought one of these years ago for about £200 and it just seemed to go on and on.

That looks excellent

I think you're right there. I don't think the MSA will be happy until we're all in FIA homologated cars that cost huge sums of money. I'm keen to weigh the Escort. It's pretty close to finished now so it's going to be interesting to see where it's at. The works cars were homologated at 960kg...

My car might get an MOT in the next week or so, so my chances of coming are improving!

A shame we have to keep steel doors to be honest, as that's a big weight saving that's restricted. Saying that, I can certainly understand why they don't allow it. Have heard they are going to stop people cutting the inside of steel doors out too. If you want a heavy rally car, try pushing my...

I bet these feel quite lively with 250bhp!

I bet it feels like a right little racer with the seating position/gear lever etc

Are there any pictures etc of it anywhere?

Some nice metal there

Huge improvement. Can't wait to see it all back together.

Turinis for me but it's a bootiful car either way!

That's a beautiful build! Do you have any more pictures of the handbrake lever? Did you make the bracket that mounts to the tunnel?
