Good news boyo!

Doesn't surprise me. A friend sold a broken Daihatsu Sportrak to a guy from Eastern Europe who paid a company to collect it. About ten years ago, I bought a Sierra for £500, hated it, put it up for sale and a guy from Ireland paid £850 for it within a couple of weeks, having never set eyes on...

Looks great now. A change of wheels and new steering wheel will finish it off perfectly. I really would like something like this at some point. It's an itch I need to scratch.

You have to dress like a tool on a bike as well. And I like listening to the radio. And shouting at people on bikes. Can't shout at them so much if you're one of them.

Not before me lol. For me, part of the RS mystique is the screaming normally aspirated engine. I think the rear bumper/diffuser on the GT2 is a little awkward compared to the GT3 too. Both stunning cars though and the stuff of dreams really.

If I can drive my Escort on the road, you can drive your Clio ?

Be good to see some more pictures!

Looking good boys. Might bring the Escort to the next one, if it's not in bits lol

Really do love this. Looks spot on now.

What's the spec of the Hyundai?

@NorthloopCup is bang on. Not using a car is a great way to hurt your enthusiasm for it. I went through a phase of changing cars all the time but don't so much now. Buying and selling cars annoys me now, as it can be a lot of hassle. The Clio was a big change for me. Would keep that forever...

Nothing wrong with stickers: Think they do need to be planned though. I ended up having most of mine custom made as a lot of the stuff you can buy online is quite small so doesn't work too well. Saying that, eBay seems to have a decent amount of stripe kits etc, so I think you could...

How much life is left in the 888s Neil? Sorry, I know I have asked you about the wheels before, totally forgot about it!

Can you just drop it off at my house when you've got a minute? Love it.

Looks great Steve. Really subtle change but lifts the whole look of the car.

Yeah 850R manual is the one I would go for. Bigger turbo and diff make it the winner for me. The interior is nicer too I think. The leather/suede combo is the wrong way round in a T-5R.

@Daniel if you ever want to sell the 850R, do let me know. I had a black T-5 CD that had all the R bits on it. One of my favourites, always regret selling it.

Looks lovely that. My favourite Ph.1 colour by far.

That stuff may be good, but it's over £30 a litre. Petrol does the job just fine in my experience and is much cheaper lol

Even at WRC level, most drivers wear open face helmets. They have some pretty f**king monstrous accidents and their faces don't get cut or bruised to s**t. Yes the rest of the car has been designed to withstand the impact, but the chances of a facial injury are very low. I would say the same is...

Yeah I know a couple of people that use them for track days and another who uses one for stage rallies, so should be more than up to it.

Hedtec get reasonable reviews. They are mostly FIA compliant (so meet SNELL requirements), meaning they will have passed FIA safety tests, which track day-only helmets won't have been subject to.

Are there many track spaces left? Still tempted to come, but getting the car up there is a bit awkward.

These get good reviews for the price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Hedtec-Rapido-FHR-HANS-Open-Face-Motorsport-Helmet-Snell-SA2015/253025655452?hash=item3ae9811a9c%3Am%3Aml5CvWwO4xeY0lu_uSU2WXQ&var=552081243200 If you can, I would 100% get one that is approve for motorsport use. It will be...

Sorry to see this mate. What's next?

Thanks mate. Already got four in my pod, but been offered one of the uber six lamp pods from an Escort Maxi, so might need to buy it lol

If you want a bit more power, could you use any parts from the Twingo 133? I believe they have a variant of the K4M? What gearbox does the car have? Is it a JC5, similar to the Clio 172/182?

Car looks great. Think I would have the bonnet painted to match the car, but love it otherwise. Bet that will turn a few heads over there.

Let me know where you get the lamps from Nathan, might need a couple myself.

The cloth Recaros do seem very susceptible to wear and tear, much more so than the leather. If he is willing to drop the price a bit, I would probably still go for it.
