Like this, didn't realise that Norfolk was home to a collection of V6s. I do remember seeing one on the road around Acle way once when I was commuting. Would love to have a look at one up close, interesting cars!

Ahoy. The steering on mine isn't great. I think going through and giving all the bushes a freshen up is a good first modification. I've done most of mine now, just need to do steering rack and ARB bushes and it makes a big difference to start from something you know is in good order.

I've got a couple of short clips of it on YouTube from the New Brighton Prom Stages in September. Only done on my phone so not exactly stunning quality. Steve, if you want these for any reason, let me know and will put them on dropbox for you. I resisted posting the Epynt one I sent you!

You should put some proper pictures up, it's a cracking little car. Sorry to hear you had troubles, least it's nothing too major though. What are your plans for next year with it?

That's @EVOgone I don't think there is a project thread as such, but I have seen a few posts about the car. It's a converted Cup racer, but I think it has a modified F7R engine. Steve's a nice guy and can really pedal.

Don't blame me man. It's your fault I bought my car in the first place....

Rally GB kicks off this week and I'm sad that I'm not going, so here are a couple of pictures from last year:

You've made a huge improvement to that - nice one!

You don't struggle for spectacular backdrops in that part of the world do you?! Quality pictures!

Lordy that has some rot in it. Fair play for fixing that, many wouldn't have bothered! Are the Safrane hubs as used on the MK1 Cup cars? Am I right in thinking the 172 used Laguna hubs? I would really love a MK1. I have a 1/18 model of one of the DIAC Group A 16S rally cars, and it just makes...

Ha, thanks, appreciate the kind comments. She gets used and abused. No repair yet, had some quotes but waiting for my mate to pay me the money, as he did it lol. She might get chopped in for a Ph.1 if I can find a nice one, or I might just fit some new wheels and try to find some more gee gee's!

I bought these after a track day, not sure if they would be allowed? Car is nothing exciting, but I like the spray in some of the pics lol. Hi-res available of course. And phone pics are awesome. I can photoshop out the wheel corosion if needed... Moody damage pictures lol

I well remember when magazines and cruises were full of cars like this. Those were the days. Times and fashions change, but the modified car scene was a pretty exciting place back then. Better than idiotic 13x10" wheels and sticker bombing. at least people put some effort in to it.

Yep, he was the only Clio on the entry list.

What was the end result power/torque wise? Has this been posted and I missed it?

I cleaned the outside of my Ford box at the weekend, but I don't think that's on the same level as what you've been doing... Will be ordering the new gear kit in the next couple of weeks though, so we can talk about sending it your way if you'd still be interested! I need to work out which FD...

Received my parts, thanks @Russ_16v - very quick delivery, really appreciate it!

It's ok lol.

Turbocharged MK1/2 Escorts genuinely upset me. They should have a rorty naturally aspirated engine under the bonnet and nothing else. I visited the Ford Heritage collection today (I love my job), I'm not even going to post pictures, it was too much lol.

I actually said that they might not achieve the same values as some other cars, or the same % increase due to the slightly excessive current values, and that it won't happen within the next ten years, but I think, eventually, there will be some increase in value. The Fords were just random...
