Everyone who says this, then acts on it, seems to return in due course. Here is a quick list off the top of my head, and is probably the tip of the iceberg; Luke Pete DMallett Scott Rob (not returned yet, but when the right ph1 appears - boom). Sir_Dave (who will be back again, he is a repeat...

That's awesome. I absolutely love seeing progress on this car, great thread. :clap: If you don't mind telling me, how much does a decent body resto and paint job like that cost? PM if you don't want to stick on here.

Good progress made on this. Not sure I'd have plumped for k-tec coilies, but each to their own. Looks good, and will be great when Stage 3 is complete ;) I'd also move the brakes up the list. This going on track at some point? Last thing - I'd change the GB plate, fussy like that - nice clean...

Good progress old boy, good progress. The Gripper is epic, I love it in mine and I don't even drive it anywhere as well as you'll drive yours :o. It does make quite a noise, clunky clunk clunk. Be great to see this run competitively after so long and such misfortune due to a 'wrister'. Hope it...

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Should peddle along nicely :). I'm so torn between NA and boost when I rebuild mine, so I'll be interested to see how yours shapes up. Great work!

For value for money vs best performance, the 197 cams seem to work best. PM Danlp6 as his cracked 200bhp on this set up.

Yeah, it may be a sharp website, but it doesn't stop Lu Ping from the Wingding province in China hacking into it to sell dodgy electronic goods ;)

If you keep it, it needs some track abuse. No excuses young man!

If you're not going for coilovers, I'd agree that it probably needs to be 16's. Having said that, you know you want coilovers really, so get 15's then force yourself to get coilovers :) Great work on the CC buttons. Shame I'm not at CSS this year, as I'd like a closer inspection of the brake...

Mick is a great guy, if you take it to him you won't have any problems. He is more than capable of timing up an F4R engine correctly.

As said, not for me, but the rest of the car looks good. Except the Halfords ruined original Renault Sport badge. Needs swapping for a 197 one IMO.

Great buy, and the plans sound good. Plenty of track days is exactly what is needed :)

Subscribed to this, looks awesome. I love caymans, I really do. Don't know why I bought a 911, I reckon if I'd bought a cayman I'd still have it as I type this.

.01mph - Why do you type like a complete spackfaced wrister? We can all read, you don't need to change the font, underline it, bold it etc etc. Genuine question by the way. Do you speak like that aswell, randomly shouting certain words as loud as you can?

Another vote for G172, or Renparts. I've had great experience with both, who were excellent.

Sorry, to clarify, when I say budget, I mean Rainsports / falkens / Kumho's. Wingding Ditchfinder 3000's don't even find there way onto the budget part of the list ;)

I agree Dave, I didn't say Budgets were bad, I said they were budgets :) Rainsports, Kumho's etc are good examples of budgets that can do the job of what a tyre is supposed to do. Barums have a bad wet tyre reputation. OP - largely depends on what you use the tyre for. Enthusiastic driving with...

Do you mean Barum? As said above, it's the only thing that connects you to the road, so skimping is a no no in my book. If you do mean Barum, then although they are made by Continental, in the same factory I believe, they use a different compound, and they're pap in the wet by all accounts. A...

Crazily mint. Good buy! Wish I was going to CSS :(

You and a chainsaw? Jesus wept.

Looks great, I love those built in ducts in the bumper. Mod plans sound great aswell. Will look great on Ultraleeggggeerrraagggeeaaas. I love how Pier's looks on UGs. Good buy!

I'm trying to be nice old boy. Probably my biggest downfall if i'm honest :) But yes, RSI is required. Go big, or go home. As the 'yoof' of today say.

This. Ironically, if you'd posted it up as it is (without PS'ing) i'd be saying that it has quite a bit of potential.......

This thread certainly is a special kind of 'special'. That's for sure.

FLOL at liquorice all sorts.

Absolute gold. What a wrister.

Fair enough, I've got the Gripper in mine, and still use it as a road car / Le Mans / Ring car etc. It can be grabby and sounds broken at low speeds! Lol! It has been epic on track though. I'd offer to take you out in it so you can see, but Lincoln is too far for me!

Sounds good, out of interest, why the Quaife and not a Gripper?

OP - can you photoshop me a haircut please. I want my haircut to look like Andy f**kface peters hair. Kthxbai.

Lols! I love pingu, cheeky little scamp! Andy Peters can go and f**k his own face as far as I'm concerned.
