1155’s are my go to track pads.

Loved my 200. So much more spacious inside and the 6 speed box made a big difference for me, compared to 5 in the 1*2’s

99p a litre for unleaded as of today! That’s the same price of fuel in 2008 when I had my Ph1 172! 😍

@frayz ive found the 1155 unreal on the road and track - trumps the ds2500 - I’ve had both. You do get some squeal from the 1155, but the bite they give more than makes up for that. 1155’a blew my mind how much more confidence I had in braking distances. When they’re up to temp, they were...

Not a Redtop - but one I regret not sticking a 2.0 in.

£4K and still bidding for a 100k Cat D/C Trophy? People really have gone mad

Just don’t go OTT and lose sight.. do the bare minimum to get it through an MOT and road worthy. Then at least you can enjoy the car through the stages of improvement. You’ll feel the car has value if you have use of it.

Standard engine and enjoy it. You’ll regret ripping it apart and having an unreliable/expensive turbo build. Or it’ll get broken and split for parts half way through the build. Standard engine is the best way to enjoy these...!

Mixed reviews from what I’ve heard. I’ve never had issues with using standard coolant on cars for track. That evans stuff is just another money spinner IMO.

Can’t fault mine - got the electric fold away tow bar too. So it covers all bases. They’re a proper well rounded vehicle. R dynamic pack makes a huge difference also.

I’ve got a brand new Evoque and the Disco is for the tip runs..!

Lovely D3 - I’m on the Disco forum also. They’re fantastic trucks, I wish I’d bought mine years ago.

Do you have an estimated time of its return? @SharkyUK

Love a long term project thread. I wouldn’t worry about the belts too much - I know of a few cars years over due belts and one I know of still on it’s original belt...! On a 53 plate..! Lol. just get them done when you get back and I’m sure you’ll be perfectly fine.

I wouldn’t even want those seats... Jesus

I’m exactly like this, buy something with my heart, throw £££ at it - get it running right and then sell it now it’s running right 😂 but still loose ££££

Definitely keep it - those numbers on the clock mean nothing. You could buy a lower mileage one, but that never means it’s in better condition. Different cars, but I’ve recently bought a Discovery 3 with 188,000 miles (now on 193,000) because it drove nicer than the one I test drove earlier...

They used to be a pig to get hold of.

I have about 1,000 cup spoiler fitting kits sat in a cupboard somewhere in my house lol

assuming you have an EDC 200 Clio? For it to have an intercooler?

That’s lovely! Would you mind sharing the lease figures? These sound interesting!

The Clio will be quickly forgotten 😂

No. AD08’s are just a mild semi slick. Even on a track compound R888 you still don’t need a baffled sump.

I’ve recently sold mine to a mate, I wish I’d kept the car - it was bomb proof for me and it still is with him. I think it’s on about 140,000 now and no signs of giving up yet.

Semi slick strengthened side walls - less roll.

No one going to look at those Bridgestone Potenza RE070 ? Epic tyres.

The only tyre you’ll ever need. Perfect all round for wet and semi slick outer edge. https://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/bridgestone-re070-225-45-r17-90-w?origin=shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqZeTxJKd5wIVjMjeCh0PigCjEAQYAyABEgJqx_D_BwE

You know yourself that even if the engine went pop, you’d stick another in lol - engines are so cheap and easy to come by.

Isn’t there a tidy RB on here for sale for 1500 edit: @TRB182

I like a Corsa C with an Astra VXR lump in it. Such an easy conversion and tuneable.
