Just thought id share this pic I took of the ST at the ring last week We were sharing the track with it in the public session and it did seem to go very well! I don't think they stopped lapping the ring the whole time we were there! Im also a fan of the Fiesta's - I had two 1.25 zetecs back...

I can imagine, there obviously was grip out there as some people were quicker (by quite some margin than us) and we were sliding all over the place! I was in the Octavia Vrs when we had a very hairy lift off oversteer moment!

It did start life as a Type R I believe, I think thats where the shell was taken from, its been built up from a bare shell as far as I am aware. It runs very well, nice to drive on the road as well as the track. Cheers

I know - bad times! But it wasn't as though we were driving it economically!

It has carbon 22b arches front and rear, carbon roof, numerous roger clark bits, a hybrid turbo (not sure on spec), cams (again not sure on spec), anti lag, 6 speed box, exe tc suspension. It has had a lot done which im not sure about, but its running 400 bhp, feels every bit as though it is too!

Well - the subaru I was in averaged 17mpg on the motorway :( we split the costs between 2 of us, it went through £350 over 850 miles (ish) of Super Unleaded! ouch! Here is a pic of me going through the Mini Carousel :)

Yeah the new M5 was testing, there were so many new cars testing, made for good viewing!

Hi all, just got back from another Nurburgring trip, thought I would share a few pics I took on the way. I drove a friends Impreza which was awesome, first time I have driven the ring in anything other than a clio. With 400 bhp, 4wd and some toyo 888's it was awesome! Its the first time I have...

The exact wording on the MOT failure sheet was : "Nearside front passengers seat cannot be secured in the upright position" Thanks

Hi there, Car is in for an MOT this morning, anyone else had a problem with MOT failure due to the mechanism not locking in properly? The base is the problem, you can get it to lock so it doesn't slide forward / backwards but sometimes if you move it, it takes ages to get it to lock back in...

Did you lot go over the A65 towards Kirby Lonsdale on Sunday? I was heading towards Skipton in an RB182 :) Cars looked v nice!

Im from near Guiseley, thanks mate, there are a few bits I want to sort on it still but not had it long so finding the time (and cash). Its got a Scorpion RS192 with decat, it sounds similar to the Milltek I had on my old 182, maybe a bit quieter.

I was in the rb 182 cup you waved at on burley bypass. Car looked mint!

Hi! Saw you earlier about 330pm today, car looked very nice! Saw a CS sticker in the window too I think! Nick

I managed 46 mpg on a run of 70 miles on a roads doing between 45 / 60. That was through very careful throttle usage! (bored in traffic so thought I would see how high I could get the mpg's) PS In a 182

Hi - mine does this, just changed the rear discs and pads and the rear shocks. It still does it, I feel that as the load increases on the front end there is a slight pull to the right, it must be a front strut? Anyone else had this problem? I used to have something similar on my 197 and never...

Ah I always assumed that a 172 (ph2) ff was a fully loaded 172 as in climate, leather / alcantara etc. Same as a 182. Shows how much I know :D Either way I enjoyed driving them! This one feels the liveliest out of all of them I have had!

Ah right, the 172 was not a cup (standard) and the 182 was not a cup but had cup packs whatever that makes them?!

What do you mean? :S 197 ff technically not correct but it wasn't a cup! :)

I know, it does sound bad, but I generally try and run them for a bit then sell them before they lose any money, plan on keeping this one for a while though. Started with a 172 ff, then a 197 r27, then a 182 ff with cup packs, then a 197 ff and now this one! Im quite a fan of them!

Were you there when I went to pick it up?! Nightmare situation, in the centre of glasgow with no map and using my (flat) Iphone for satnav!

Yeah I know what people are saying about the interior, but the Recaro's make up for it! What sort of money do xenons go for?

Cheers - I have the centre caps, I had just taken them off when I cleaned all the wheels. Also want some new exhaust mounts as its hanging a bit low! Anyone know what sort of money it is for a 197 steering wheel?

Hi all, This is my 5th RS clio, pleased with it so far, needs some sorting but it should make a good one! Its an 05 with 51k on the clock, got Recaro's fitted too. Its also got a Scorpion cat back and sports cat (fitted by previous owner) So far have had a 4 wheel alignment, I fitted...

No sticker, bought it from Glasgow which is where it lived most of its life I think!

Hi all, I have just bought an RB182 cup, the previous reg on it was S* PKO, anyone know of the car? :) Thanks Nick

Hi all, I have recently bought a 182 cup with factory fitted Recaros, however the passenger seat will not lock in place, I tilted it and slid forward whilst cleaning the interior and now it wont lock back in place! I can get it temporarily to if I move the handle about but when I let go it...

Cheers, I didn't think so, just wanted to check it wasn't a sign of a repair. Nick

Hi all, I am looking at buying a clio 182 cup, do you know if they were fitted with the sill protectors as standard? (when you open the door the stainless protector that is on the standard model) Thanks

Looks nice! I wouldnt bother going down the JCW route of tuning personally, plenty of other good after market tuning options which give the same if not more power for less money :) http://www.gtt.uk.com/packages.asp
