I've never really understood why this would put someone off buying a car. They're popular because they're the best car in their class, surely that's a great reason to buy one, not to avoid one?

The market might well disagree with you - values for these are shooting up, just like everything else from that era. The Rattlesnake conversion makes it an acquired taste but I bet someone would pay decent money for it if it's in good nick.

Yeah I saw an awful picture recently of a MK1 Focus RS that was using harnesses with the standard seats. He binned it (quite hard) on track and the seat had collapsed quite badly. It had actually bent the back rest. I'd personally only recommend using harnesses with fixed-back seats. Worth...

It's not as bad as it could be because you have the harnesses mounted at a good angle but, if you did have a smash, the harnesses could cause the seat to collapse. Really wouldn't recommend running harnesses with standard seats so worth looking into bucket seats, or fitting standard seatbelts...

White is so awesome for these, best colour by miles. Really wouldn't be running harnesses with those seats though, so dangerous :(

Does anyone know what size the hose outlets are on a 1*2 header tank? Both the lower feed outlet and the overflow?

I really do need to own one of these at some point, such a cool car.

Nothing like cutting it fine mate lol

I want one :(

Never liked the looks of these, but they're certainly one hell of a car. Must be mad at that power. Why air suspension though? Surely that kind of defeats the object when Nissan put so much effort into getting the suspension right?

That is really cool. Though I can't help but think that a Saxo with 290bhp would be terrifying!

Yeah don't think I will ever grow out of stupid cars, who cares what other people think? I admit I probably wouldn't drive a Saxo as a daily (just because it would be annoying as much as anything) but if it's a fun car then I don't think it matters.

Really is one of the best looking hot hatches of all time the MK1 16v/Williams, such a well proportioned car. Want one :(

Had a couple of these as courtesy cars in the past, really nice motors.

The MK1 wasn't a Volvo :P

Peugeot fans might have something to say about that argument too lol. 205 GTI, 106 Rallye, 106 GTI, 306 GTI, 306 Rallye, 309 GTI etc etc As might Ford....RS Turbo Escort, Escort Cosworth, Focus RS (all of them), Fiesta ST, Focus ST.

I'd mostly agree with this. I drove one some time ago and it's a very impressive car. Gearbox is ace, engine revs well for a turbo and it is a quick car for sure. I think Honda deserve kudos for making it, as it looks lairy and a bit silly. It will upset some people but good on them. It's just...

I actually thought I was being really careful but apparently it was too much for a 535i on budget tyres in the wet lol. Proper brown pants; thought I was going backwards into the barrier. We were going so slowly that we went backwards towards the curb and it didn't even have enough momentum to...

Oh I have faith, but I nearly binned it last year going about 10mph, so anything can happen lmao

This isn't just a simple update though. Fitting a whole new engine and transmission is a major reworking of the vehicle. If it's required repositioning of components in the engine bay, such as intercoolers, PAS gumph, brake parts, it would effect crash performance. The bigger engine might mean...

Agreed, if they make a limited run and they are mega money, they'll all sell, but a lot of people seem to be thinking this is going to be a proper production car for reasonable money. I remain sceptical about that, but we shall see.

Good update Mark. Perhaps I need to pop over for a spin before you go to the ring....just in case lol.

It isn't the engine development that's the problem. I'm sure fitting and wiring up the engine was easy, it's all the regulatory stuff that comes with it. If it's the only Clio with that engine, they'll have to crash test it I should think. The wider body work and spoiler will have to go through...

Have they said they will actually sell some, or is it just a promotional thing? It would be cool, a massive improvement over the base car, but I can see it being an expensive machine if they are only making a handful of them. Fitting the 2.0 turbo engine, manual box and new body work is going...

Your verniers are rusty man, that's terrible lol

Yes bud, still got three Escorts; a 1.4 MK5, RS2000 F2 rally car and another RS2000 rally car. Also got a 172 Cup and a Golf R - too many cars!

Looking well Tony.

Oops! Get well soon bud.

Must say, your laminova is quite small. The one on my F2 car is pretty big!

I think the 306 kit was probably best, followed by the 106 and 206. I would say that though, I'm a rally buff.
