    R5 Turbo

    I was hoping someone would sell me one for £2k.

    R5 Turbo

    Always wanted one, still do. A couple of grand cheaper and I'd have gone for this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174302807715

    I'm holding out for the thread update regarding the Subaru conversion

    France warns Renault could disappear

    They've tried all that. Using the names, etc but they are just the same gear underneath. They made a Gordonini Clio 200? and it was just a paint job and a badge. I mean, adopting retro styling. Fashion's rotate, cars just seem to stick to linear. Their just mainstream stuff is no different to...

    France warns Renault could disappear

    It won't happen, but a revolutionary idea to keep with a previous post about how car firms used to innovate, would be to do re-runs. Not just putting out 100 Renault 5's as the tooling would be cost prohibitive, but maybe resurrection of a 'good' sports line and then fitting modern running gear...

    With what he does for a living, ragging cars beyond speed limits on video, would you not just pay it, shut up and move on. I've unsubscribed, can't be doing with bleeting outspokens who pretend they are cleaner than clean and then moan about being caught out. It's borderline palletable anyway...

    Clios spotted around Leeds

    Great Preston is nice. Sure you'll like it there. I'm originally from Garforth. Left in the late 90's before it became it's own city. Spend a fair bit of time in Methley as well, which is a nice place.

    Oooo 106 friend, looks lovely that. Where is it now?

    106 turbo winter project

    You're spot on here mate. It's more effort to do it wrong. I'm not mechanic either, but I'd never be able to drive it confidently with some of the stuff done to this.

    Vauxhall 'Red Top' Appreciation Thread

    I'd say 'those were the days' but to be honest, I look back now and think they were sh*t. Handled like boats, barring the Cav GSI with independent rear suspension and 150 bhp was as heady as you dare go. Boasting Dads in the pub beer garden about DOHC when they had no idea what it meant. But...

    106 turbo winter project

    Sorry mate, totally missed this when you posted! I managed to stop the oil before it got to dripping. But I think I dropped brake fluid or something on the manifold before I wrapped it. I can't find any photos I took, but something in the back of my mind says it might have been contaminated...

    106 turbo winter project

    Still not finished this :( The idle issue, is a combination of knackered components. I replaced the TPS: And the hesitation when applying the throttle has gone. Thank god. However it still idles very strange. So whilst it was running, I disconnected the MAP sensor and it idles and revs...

    Mig welders

    I had a hand me down mig, which either overheated after 60 seconds or refused to spool. Not ideal for a beginner as it was just stop/start with problem after problem. Looking for a replacement. Uses are the odd bit of car body work 2mm stuff, making brackets and various small household...

    Phase 1 gt turbo

    My kind of thread this. Love it. Iconic car of my youth, had the chance to own one (before they came collectable) and passed it up. Silly move. Interested to see some pictures of it after the skirts are on, it'll make a great project for someone to put the finishing touches on it. Any...

    106 turbo winter project

    It's outside again. Wanted to see if I'd fixed a few things: - Idle - Oil leak Needless to say - I've fixed neither :( could be worse. ---------- New issue: (FFS) - clunk when turning the wheel when stationery, sounds like the spring is making a massive twang! Suspect this is the top...

    Exhaust wrap - smoke

    Evening, I've never used exhaust wrap before, but freshly wrapped a manifold (not particularly well) and started the car today. It smoked pretty constantly, which I expected a little. But it didn't stop. The first header, which is the shortest (right) is showing discolouration. I think a...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    I'm sure SOUP classic motoring has been mentioned on here before, if not - check it out. His latest video I watched with surround sound and it was one of the most cinematic car restoration videos I've ever watched! Wasn't intentional either. It doesn't seem to matter what the content is with...
