Yeah definitely keep up with the thread. It's nice to see people putting effort into their threads, rather than the social media style of pics with no substance. The 'how' and 'why' is every bit as interesting as the pictures.
Since when did the Focus not have a good chassis? Have I misread something? The Focus of that era was considered to be fantastic and certainly the best of the cars on that platform. I'm sure the MPS can be made very good with some thought.
I think white vinyl on the car would look awful. If it was a race car maybe, but I wouldn't do it on a road car. I think white body work details on a road car instantly make it look like it's worth about 50p
The colour is a tough call. Definitely not gold. White could look brilliant or awful. I'm unsure but it will be interesting to see. Silver or anthracite are safe but both will look good.
Great report. Sounds like a tough event, but at least you got to the end. As you say, club rallies are a very different ballgame now. Sequential boxes and powerful engines everywhere. The class system here is a bit silly though. I think it's about time every class was split in half. One half for...
Engine bay looks great. Should go nicely with that engine in it too. The problem is, the more threads like this I read, the more I want to do it to mine 😂
Excellent read, very enjoyable. The car looks excellent with the yellow wrap too. I think I would say that though. As you can tell from my avatar, I like yellow lol. I hope you have a better 2017 anyway. Will follow this with interest!
Oh I spent ages doing that too lol. You should get a reasonable mileage 250 for your budget. Worth keeping an eye on forums and the like. It's definitely something I would consider if I was in your position. They have a bit more equipment than the Clio as standard I would think, so would be a...
I'd probably just stump up the extra for an ST-3 myself. Prices are only going one way. With so many around, a bit of haggling would see you in one quite cheaply I imagine.
My bad, perhaps wasn't very clear. As you say, seems pretty easy to find plenty of ST-2 and ST-3s to choose from.
I was referring to the Meganes. Took me bloody ages to find one with the right bits.
Yeah the engines seem to take the miles pretty well and, provided you keep on top of the suspension, there's no reason it shouldn't give you years of fun if you want it.
Bit more power and a short shift is meant to do wonders for them too.
Yeah, ET65 as standard. You seem to be able to get away with as low as ET40 pretty much though, so plenty of wheel arch clearance, it's just the potential negatives on the way it drives.
I have wondered what the Mazda RX-8 PZ wheels would look like on a Megane but never seen any pictures!
