Look forward to it ? And nobody is perfect I guess ? Interesting stuff. I always imagine the Civic to be quite a heavy thing, but I suppose there might not be loads in it, and it's more cost effective to get power from the K20 it seems. Will be very interesting to see the comparison.

That sounds like a good excuse for a video! Out of the two, the Clio has always appealed to me more, as it's smaller and, I would assume, easier to get it lighter. More parts about for the Civic though I suppose. Engine and box are probably better too. Both are better than my car regardless lol.

Sure I saw an ad for that Civic somewhere. Be interesting to see how they compare. Seems to be plenty of bits out there for them. Any idea on the weight?

Feel free to send over some details Dave. Driving a Vectra estate currently and it's soul destroying lol.

It's no surprise really. For many, the 90s is the pinnacle of performance cars. Loads of motorsport-inspired, homologation specials, all the motorsport heroes like McRae and Burns in rallying, while the BTCC was also at it's peak. Cars generally were starting to become reasonably well-made...

That looks nice, especially in white. I did look at them at one point (albeit earlier ones), but went for the Megane instead, as I'd been craving one. Would imagine these are probably a nicer daily prospect though. Which engine does it have, as it looks like quite a new one? Did they fit the...

Do you want to fix it and sell it to me?

What kind of input does the SJ6 have?

Got a couple of SJ Cams. They're alright. Never really done a back-to-back comparison with a GoPro, but can't complain for the money. I'd like to buy something better really, as I want something that can take an audio input from my intercom, but it seems a bit of a minefield really.

Nice. I wish more circuits would do rally track days. Would be such a great way to get people into the sport, rather than the tired old idea of trying to get people to do autosolo etc. I've got an entry for the Snetterton round of the MSN championship in Feb, so need to finish off a couple of...

Looking well Nath. When's the next rally?

Most car forums are quieter than they used to be. Social media has hurt things. This is still the most lovely I know.

Hopefully you'll have a bit more reliability this time. Good luck at Anglesey!

It seems to me that the Clio Cup has perhaps lost a bit of its gravitas in recent years. The field shrunk quite a bit when they changed to the MK4 didn't it? Though it has grown a bit since I believe.

Lovely that. The ultimate Ferrari. The only thing that trumps it is the McLaren F1 for me.

I think the vent looks ok. Maybe try and add a bit more yellow somewhere else to help tie it in. And Michelins hey...check you out lol. I need to buy some tyres. They are depressingly expensive!

Yes, think I read that somewhere before. I do have to giggle. The "RWD is better" argument pops up a lot on pistonheads. You get people who act like every car must have a 500bhp V8 and RWD, but then complain that a 250bhp FWD car has too much torque steer to handle lol. Both are good in my...

You'd think that every owner of a RWD car was broadside around every roundabout on their way to work every morning the way they talk about how much better it is lol.

Bet that's a slightly different drive to the Clio lol Looks well.

Have a word. Monaco has nothing on Mondial.

Nice to see another rally type here. Look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Looks lovely that. They look great in white with the spoiler and black wheels.

Just fit standard pins on the back. Aero catches are a waste of time on the rear (and probably the front in reality lol).

Bargain! I would really like a VTS. If you get bored, let me know lol

You can say "so-and-so is better/faster", but I suspect this engine has been built to compete in a particular class of racing, so comparing it to a turbocharged unit is probably pretty pointless, as it would likely never compete against one. Based on my limited knowledge of drag racing in the...

Being as it's a drag racing engine, I suspect it's in a class for normally aspirated motors.

That seems a mental number. The likes of Millington over here aren't getting 400bhp from their biggest four pots I don't think. Bet that isn't a cheap engine anyway.

Yeah I expect it will happen.

Strong money but will absolutely transform it. They are crying out for wider arches. Add those, cup spoiler and decent wheels with a slight drop and it would be a brilliant looking car.

I don't mind the vents and wheels in black, ties in with the rest of the gloss black parts.
