This looks great in black with the Mugen bits. Not so keen on the rear tow eye, but love it otherwise.

Do love this car, some really nice little details. Probably my favourite RB on here.

I've used the Brembo OE pads and they were fine for me. Perhaps I don't brake as hard and late as some of the CS heroes but I certainly wasn't giving them an easy ride.

What leg length do people go for with these? My friend has just bought a 172 and it has the worst IK ever seen on it, so was going to advise him to go for this. It's ages since I did mine so I can't remember what length I bought. The original eBay listing for mine doesn't exist anymore.

I did similar, bought a really cheap one on eBay and filled it with Tigerseal. It might not last forever but a lot of the aftermarket ones are much more expensive so thought it was worth a go.

So around 3kg saving in you think? As you say, not a huge amount. Depends on the use of the car though I guess. Every little helps, just got to be careful where you place it. Could you not make a little ally tank and place it under the car, where the standard one is? You save weight but also...

It would be interesting to see the weight difference by the time you're done. Once you've got the new tank in and put a firewall round it, I wonder how big the saving will be. Also worth noting that, unless you mount it right down on the floor pan, then you're moving that weight higher up in the...

I went had a look at this over the weekend, looks alright if you want a relatively cheap way to try your hand at competitive driving: http://www.javelinsprintdays.co.uk/JTSS/

I know these guys are a bit out of the way, but Chelmsford Motor Club have got into targa rallies in a big way. There is some info here: http://chelmsfordmc.co.uk/node/3711 Worth looking for motor clubs in your area to see if they are running anything similar.

Not a bad video that. I do like the Makinen, but the 22B is just the ultimate rally rep for me. Definitely one of the dream garage cars.

My friend bought a Ph.2 172 from an auction last night for the princely sum of £450. Thought I'd ask on the off chance that it had been a member's car at some point!

You can still take a picture of a work in progress :P

Do you mean fitted the PMS manifold with the standard inlet? Any pics? Where did he mount the coil pack?

Targa rallies could be an option? Somewhere between an autosolo and a road rally. Start getting into racing and stage rallying and it costs a fortune. Javelin Track Days run their own sprint series.

Great videos Paul. Really do want to rally my 172 some day, would make such a good little car. If only I'd known that before I started the Escort!

Very nice, love this gen Boxster

Driving a s**t car to upset other people, what a fulfilling life that must be lol.

Love the dark grey, looks ace.

Like that. Not into the wind deflectors but great otherwise. Colour, spoiler, seats, got all the right bits!

What a pile of turd. Rat look is cool on old hot rods that have been neglected visually. Rat look that has been added to a more modern car in the name of "scene" is truly ridiculous. I have never really understood why someone would want to drive around in a car that looks s**t on purpose...

The internet has made everyone believe they're a journalist. They're not.

Like that, very nice.

Hello!

What a strange video.

Some big progress there. Nice to see someone taking such a different approach.

Velly nice! Do like a mint Cup.

I'll have a look back. It looks like my Escort needs something a bit more meaty than a Clio so will have to look into what other types they do.

Good to hear. Drain shouldn't be too much of an issue for me, as mine will be isolated by the cut-off switch when not in use. How does the first one stack up to yours spec-wise, any idea? Listing for the second one doesn't look too helpful, even if the price is better!

How are you getting on with the JMT battery on this? Still ok? I've been looking on eBay and found these two: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281973413099?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...

What do you reckon the car is worth Paul, out of interest? Drop me a PM if you prefer :)
