Just came across this. Quite cool in a way, but look how much metal has been cut out of it. Total death trap.

I'd probably leave the 133 engine in there,as you've put some bits into it already. I'd focus on getting the car as light as possible to begin with. Cut off everything 😂

That video was great. It will be electric. Think that's already be confirmed.

I really don't understand all this sub-brand nonsense. Total waste of time and money. Does anyone care that a Leon Cupra is now a Cupra Leon, or that a Mégane Renault Sport will be an Alpine Mégane? I fully expect it will all be ditched in the future.

Man I wish I still had my 172 Cup. Had so many laughs in that car.

You don't mess about mate! Lovely looking work as always.

Saw this again yesterday and got to speak to the owner briefly. He also had a 7.5 GTI and a Caddy. The MK3 is for sale if anyone knows any VW fans.

So is the thing actually finished? I can't be bothered to watch the videos. It sounds an interesting project, but God has it been dragged out.

Exactly this. If you want more induction noise, fit the fatty kit I suggested above, as it's the cheapest. If you want something that looks fancy too, buy one of the more expensive ones.

MK3 GTI 16V. Can't be many of these left.

It's swings and roundabouts really in my view. Bolt-on ones are more convenient, as you don't have to faff about lining the spacer and wheels up with the bolt holes, but you could also argue that they're worse, as you effectively have twice as many wheel nuts/bolts that could potentially come...

Some folk definitely get wound up spacers. So long as they're decent quality, fitted properly, and aren't ridiculously large, then they're fine. Plenty of competition cars run them and they take way more abuse than road cars. 19mm hubcentric will be absolutely fine.

A friend of mine has one of these. It's a lovely thing, but he has had a LOT of trouble with it.

The Fatty induction kit is the best one in my view. Sounds really good and is cheap. Basically, buy a 90 degree alloy bend off eBay, and a matching Ram Air filter, and put it in. Can't remember the pipe diameter you need, but I'm sure someone will know. For about £40, you can't go wrong. If...

Those Civics are lovely! EK9 is peak CTR for me.

Strange place to park your Ranger.

www.instagram.com/maximumattackrallying I mostly do stuff about rallying, funnily enough.

Never seen one of these in the metal before!

Not as iconic though, as it's the Williams that people lusted over.

Bit far for me this time, but would love to go to this. RR is such a great forum. I love the eclectic mix of cars.

I think they've already launched another 50 special editions since this one was made. This one was a 70th anniversary edition.

Some spots while working today. TVR Cerbera and Corrado VR6 at one house: Giulia Quadrifolio and Aston DBS at another: Their neighbour had one of those wide-arch Abarths with the adjustable rear spoiler too:

Those Cosworths :love:

I wondered that, as it looks like part of a cover for something. Where should it go? I assume it means there's no filter in it :LOL:

Not seen this before, so just had a read through from the start. I'm not really much on the whole camper thing, but it does look quite fun converting a van like that. Colour/wheel combo looks great. Got to bang that vRS engine in it though for sure.

People always slated these but I knew a couple of people that had GSIs and they were pretty good at the time. Looked decent, went pretty well, and the V6 sounded lovely.

Saw this while working the other day. Was looking a bit sorry - damage to the rear bumper, rust on the rear arch and a lot of sun damage to the carbon bits.

How to make your Ferrari look creepy...

Decent paint places seem in pretty short supply round here. I'm a bit out of touch but a couple of the RSOC guys used to swear by APVM in Rackheath so they might be worth an ask.
