I’ve always wanted to build an older car to my more modern spec. E28 BMW or Sierra RS500 rep would probably be at the top of my list. There’s people selling replica mk1 escort RS at inflated prices so why not a clio, other then maybe it’s still a little too new. Oh and you know someone st...

Only advised to change, not instructed?

Similar to how my e46 banger went on both front wings. I hated it being there even though it’s a banger. I kept a look out for second hand wings in the same colour but none came up. Even if they did they’d have rust starting in the same areas. I ended up having two new front wings fitted, which...

You see so many far with under inflated and/or bald tyres already. Getting people to consider tyre age will be impossible. An age check should be added to the MOT. I was amazed that the ones we had didn’t have any cracks or signs of aging other than poor grip.

Watched a Jay Leno YouTube video the other day were he drove someone’s Enzo. After a couple of miles he told the owner (who was sat in passenger seat) the tyres were old and he needed some new ones. Old tyres are how accidents happen is how he put it to him.

Just an update on this, I finally got to take the car out today with the new tyres (Nankang NS2) on and the difference is massive. No pulling left/right at all. Just goes to show even those the old tyres had loads of tread on them they were useless and dangerous.

@Craig you need one of these to make it complete. Thankfully it’s now long gone (the caravan not the BM).

Nice, m-sport routings do look good. My silver-grey 320d SE made it to spa franorchamps last month. Rammed to the roof with camping gear. Needed a new clutch and DM earlier this year, boo goo.

how come he let you have alcantara and not me. Maybe he just saves it for posher cars, he said something about having trouble with stretching it over the wheel I wanted.

we've just got one retrimmed by Royal and I wanted alcantara top and bottom sections but he advised against it. The quality of the re-trim is excellent. I did want to use snappy but couldn't get hold of him.

at least they didn't park in the disabled bay......oh wait yes they did. Do you think they can afford that ticket LOL.

wonder if he had it on his 1.2 Fiesta back in the day.

While we’re talking about wipers, does anyone rear wiper actually clean the top half of the rear window on their 1*2. Our completely misses the top curved section. Tried tweaking it but still no good.

I'll pm you..

Makes me want to check what ours are. When we bought the car the seller said they were brembo. They don’t half kick out some brake dust and do like the squeal now and again.

Anyone who upgrades and has a phone to sell please pm me details. My 6 needs replacing. Cheers.

I used dent man direct a couple of times a few years ago. He was spot on. http://www.dentmandirect.co.uk/

main reason I've been looking at them next, either one of those or a Z4M coupe. I thought the RS would be cheaper to run though, just attracting the wrong attention that puts me off.

possibly my next car, and of course it would have to be in blue. Just not sure if it's a bit too shouty for me.

Cheers, I only looked because even my lad noticed that it wasn’t to happy to stay in a straight line when accelerating. So I took it out in the rain yesterday and that was fun (it’s not much better in the dry). Will get them changed this week.

Bugger, wonder if they are the original tyres that the car came with. Oh well, tyre shopping it is.

Wonder if someone can confirm the age of some tyres. I think they are 2002!!!! My lad recently bought a 182 with two sets of wheels. We’ve sealed the tyre round so the best four are on the car. However the front of the car seams to pull left/right too much under acceleration. Some I thought...

You can directly upload photos on here using the attach file button below if that helps. The world is always made better when new photos of Porsche’s are posted

aye that be it. ? What engine/running gear has it got.

I went to this last year and while the location and the quality of cars there was good, I agree with @leeds_182 the amount of cars on show was the massive. The Porsche show there the other month was fecking huge, they were struggling to get them there were that many turned up.

For my sins I’ve just had to pay the Yorkshire outlet in Doncaster a visit. While there I saw a Kangoo sporting some large white alloys and big Brembo brakes. Then when driving past it, i saw it had a cosworth sticker on the back door. Now looking at its stance it could well have had rwd or 4wd...

Other than colour that’s identical to my first car, a 2.0 GL. Same wheel trims as well, nothing like the huge tyre side walls on the 13” wheels. It did like to go sideways.

swing those dice!!!!

I went to a sports car show last year and there was a La Ferrari there with something daft like 68 miles on it.

Ideal for someone like this https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/classic/roger-dudding-classic-car-collection/amp/ http://www.studio434.co.uk I’m sure the full asking price wasn’t paid though.
