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?

This looks interesting! N as in Group N rally?

On the subject of prices, I think they have crept up a little. Or at least a lot of the cheaper cars have dried up. I paid £1350 for my 172 Cup four years ago. I've added 30k miles to it, put a dent in the side of it and have recently been offered £1300 for it, so it hasn't lost anything...

Love this, looks brilliant. Think I would have the dash/door cards flocked to match the seats but it's epic generally. I would have been tempted to leave it badged as a Nissan, just to confuse people even more.

I've done Javelin track days and always found them to be ok, no worse than MSVT ones in my experience. What was so bad about it? I'm sure if it was raining, the photographer deserves a bit of slack. Would you have stood out there in the rain taking pictures lol. Shame it was skittish but that's...

Mileage isn't a big issue provided it's been looked after. Mine has done almost 140k and I am using it daily at the moment. In the 30-odd thousand miles I've drived it, it's had the belts done, regular servicing, the lambda sensors replaced and a set of injectors. The engines in them are pretty...

I might be making it up, but weren't there a few Ws around too?

Colour looks brilliant.

The more I look at this, the more I like it! Love the DCi on Willies too.

The arguments about whether powder coating is safe is as old as the hills. Must be thousands and thousands of cars out there with powder coated wheels that are fine though.

I very much doubt that blasting would cause cracking in the wheels. The term 'sandblasting' is a bit generic really, as any good blaster should have access to a range of mediums. I think you were probably just unlucky with the last set.

It does look lovely. I do like them a lot. Like you say, I'm sure it's fast enough to be fun. I think we get caught up in big numbers nowadays though. Bet it's a riot.

Wheels are a monumental improvement!

Looks really clean that. Probably not the quickest thing out there but bet it's lovely to drive, especially with the sunshine at the moment!

A pleasure. If I could own any car off the forum, this one would be right up there

Can I have a phoenix too?

Is it possibly to make alternatives? My rally car runs Compbrake reservoirs and none of the caps in my Gunson kit fitted it, so I bought a spare reservoir and made my own cap.

I deeply, deeply love this car. It just looks so right.

A black Puma, silver 197 (with awful black Renault Sport stickers down the side of it) and think a guy went in a blue TT RS too.

Engine Dynamics or Mark Fish would get my vote. Used both and got great service.

I would deserve them to be honest. Will take a look!

PM me some details if you like :)

I saw the first one, but the miles are a bit strong for me. I do about 18-20k a year so would prefer something a bit lower. Second one doesn't look bad though. I was going to spend £6/7k but I just don't think I can be bothered now, so something like this is a bit more appealing. If you happen...
