Love it! Such an epic family bus

Avanti racing storm are probably the cheapest lightweight wheels that will fit, lighter and cheaper than oz ultraleggeras etc. About 4.5kg per wheel and iirc around 500-600 for a brand new set. As for batteries. I ran thw golf cart ones and eventually they would have enough. Currently running a...

Great result! As Carl said I'd be tempted just to do the manifold and exhaust and leave the cams.

Booked it the other day, looked at the calendar and realised it's mothers day. So I'm afraid I'll be cancelling and doing a different day.

T1Rs are the devil spawn of tyres tbf. The number of scrapped cars due to them must be fairly substantial.

Sounds good, I'll ask my mate see if he's available too

Not much to report other than the NS2R on a cold wet day are a bit scary when pushing on. I changed my cheap battery for a Varley 25 and it starts well now. Went for a run around the triangle and surrounding area as it's local. And a shot of being cold and wet...

I would have thought a td05 on a 1.7 would be laggy as hell. TD04HL would easily make more power than you could want.

Mondeo valves job done. Worked for me and @franx Don't mess around when something works out of the box!

Paul was saying they're the only exhaust he has seen make gains on the mk3. Get some catcams and a map and it'll be over 200bhp

Megane 250 340mm discs. Elongate pcd to 5*108. 14mm spacers with longer bolts. Bosh!

Dealer photos are shite too!

I'd rather go for more power and less torque from a supercharger conversion instead. But you lose the aircon.

The callipers have been taken back a bit on the outer radius too to help with wheel clearance.

Love it! That td04hl-15t should be good for around 300bhp

The alternator was a 110a one, not a cup 75a version. I ran an 80mm pulley on it.

Looking good!

And another view. I ran a larger alternator pulley to save it from dying due to track rpms.

Under the pulley :wink:

Like it! This thread does it more justice than any reviews I've read! Manifold, lows and sticky tyres sound good

Wouldn't do 10-12k a year for cheap then 😂

Genuinely love the sti hatch. What sort of mpg would a mapped one get?

Very nice, I like the idea of the JJ03CLK.

I always opt for marguard. Side by side it's night and day.

Did a track day earlier in the month. Killed the standard discs with the DS3000 so for next year I'll get some DS1.11 and 330mm discs. Other things to do are get a R26 RARB setup and adapt it to fit the 225 beam, sort out the missing power. Also consider getting some extra wheels are road...

Shouldn't be driving like that under yellows, complete disdain for everyone else on the track.

At knockhill I'd go for a gripper. Still keep drive if you lift a front wheel and you can get the 4.58 final drive which is pretty much spot on with the shorter 5th gear as well. Considering the mileage and type of use I'd go for a gripper for that reason too. I like quaife diffs but I do a...

Haven't seen one done. I have seen a Mercedes M62 Eaton charger fitted. That made 230bhp and about 200lbft on low boost.

How are you getting on with the XP8? I was considering them or the XP10 along with Ferodo DSUNO.

Oh my...
