I probably wouldn't bother going for used stuff, not unless you can 100% verify its history.

EscortEvolution? Blimey, that's going back a bit...

Fatty induction kit is one of the best things I ever did to mine. Cheap and cheerful mod that gives the car even more character. As a couple of others have said, make sure all the suspension is fresh and then go from there. You might decide that it needs nothing or everything!

Yeah I have used Pipecraft, really helpful.

This thread reminded me of an Abflug Design RX-7 from an old Max Power DVD I had:

1.4 powerhouse, 17" wheels to make it even slower, Peco backbox, sub in the boot, Alpine CD player, loved it: FiTP2005FrAndy by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr DSC00457 by Jon Scoltock, on Flickr

I'd fit Recaros, maybe partially strip the rear, but carpet it and keep it nice. Most people I know that have stripped and caged their road car have regretted it!

Love it, looks great on those. Would probably bring the rears in a bit though I think.

They're lovely, good choice!

I must say, owning a car like these, it would drive me mad not being able to drive it because of bad weather. It's kind of what they were built for lol.

Dear god I want a white phase 1 now.

Any more pictures of this? A white phase 1 would genuinely rock my world lol

I saw an 8 on the road this morning, so some are braving it. Was probably brown and crusty underneath mind 😂

White would have been great for the Cup, given its motorsport pretence. I do keep wondering about doing a white one.

This car demonstrates just how wrong Renault were not to offer these in white!

Looks good in silver actually. Bit different to the norm.

Mine is on almost 138k now...

If your head is close enough to the cage when you're strapped into the seat for headbutting the cage to be a risk, I should think your seat needs moving...

Interesting. I wonder if the Gaz top mounts strain the body somehow. Has @Pauleds strengthened his top mounts? His car has done a few events ok. If his has survived, it might suggest that the Gaz mounts are an issue.

Buy car, spend lots modifying, sell car, buy car back, spent lots putting it back to good condition, sell car again. Winner lol.

Oh my! That's mental. Have you had any big landings in the car? Is the suspension bottoming out?

Lucky boy! I would love to drive an R5 car, they really are something.

If it becomes an issue, can't the MSA simply issue CCLBs for more disciplines? Admittedly it could come with a cost but, given that most of these categories don't require much in the way of equipment (or anything in some cases), its effectively just a box-ticking exercise. As @harvsurrey says...

I had an Orion 1600E, that had genuine wood cappings on the door cards. Quite impressive for a Ford lol.

But it's not even wood in these is it? 😂

Saw this today. Not often seen in the wild these days. Real young guy driving it too: Also saw this. Not a car I admit, but I enjoyed it all the same:

Not really taking sides I don't think. Just find it odd that people still fall foul of the cat thing when it's been the law since basically forever. People may not like it, but it's something we just have to put up with. They are going to crack down on this stuff more and more. Like I said, we...

Baffles me that people still get upset about the catalyst thing. It's been very clear for a long time. The other stuff is interesting. I can see a lot of people having to argue their case. Road rally cars can be all over the place in terms of spec for example. I'm not surprised that this sort...

If it had a cat from the factory, isn't it now an mot requirement for it to be fitted, regardless of age.

Green carpet? I thought they were red in these? Looks lovely either way. One of the best colours too.
