@CRaigus: http://www.abbottracing.net/product.php?id_product=204 @gally: The brakes were an Alcon racing set-up weren't they? Providing you dont destroy the boy work, most of the other parts should be easy enough to find, see as it is still 20% Puma

@Gally: I friend of mine had an FRP and only chopped it in when the service came around that needed the brakes rebuilt. I was looking into one a year or so ago, right up to the part where I saw the running costs on a 10-year-old Ford. What a Ford though. Lovely machine... not for those with...

Wonder what the convertible was like to try and convince to take corners then!

Abbott's Viggen Rescue pack, I hear, does a good job of making that wheel in front of the driver make some difference to what the 2 front wheels do. Nobody suspects SAAB's, even if one goes past at a steady 1xxmph everyone just thinks "Must be a medical emergency, or there's an important...

Really wouldn't mind a 3-door 93. Aero or Viggen, I wouldn't mind, so long as I still a grand or 2 aside from a trip to Abbott! Brace down that front end enough and these french fancies wouldn't have a chance :)

@Craigus. Viggen?

dont go ruining it! leave it as factory intended! So few do that you'll probably have the only low-mileage, showroom-spec 172 in the UK. which, let's face it, is what people will want in years to come. You dont see GTT's or Willy's clios with shabby raider kits and over-size wheels in Evo...

dont bother with the xenons, leave the halogens in place and pretend it's a cup instead. then you can keep most of the interior too

Can you retro-fit that kit to an RS? (as much as you'd need to pour a load of money under the bonnet to give it the go to match the show!)

I didn't, they didn't want to charge after the whole mess about, which I thoguht was all jolly decent of them

Had to have a new back box stuck on last month and, hell, wouldn't you know it, yesterday the centre section went too, where the mount was, there was just a hole. probably helped along by the mount on the back box failing on the old and then, within a week, the new back box. This would...

Sod the ferodo pads get the kwik-fit pads that they give a "lifetime warranty" on. hell, even if you melt them in a week, they'll throw a new set on, and continue to do so until you sell the car! 89 quid for the fronts 79 for the rears or something like that anyway, they're Bosch items so...

I went with Elephant, worked out good. their legal assistance team (Albany) are a bag of sh1te though, took them a year to get around to hiring a solicitor to deal with an open-shut case, who promptly said that they couldn't see a resolution after speaking to all parties concerned...

hows about a stealth one?

pioneer custom-fit fronts

Welcome aboard. See you about South Lincs sometime. As for your exhaust, I had to get a new back box only a couple of weeks ago, 150 quid

Get down silverstone and get a tank full of racing fuel from the pumps in the paddock. -close thread-

You'd have to declare the mods to a purchaser at some point. However, even if you drive like you've got Miss Daisy in the passenger seat, having all those go-faster bits will only give the impression that it's been cornered on it's door-handles and red-lined every 200 yards. We can all...

take his, give it a full rally livery

dick

They're making up for the lack of recaro's

brilliant bit of work. may I suggest painting in some 'rust' around the arches?

Nasty interior, but apart from that, safe. the 1.6's seem to be better candidates for turbos and superchargers than the 1.8s

didn't Prodrive deisgn a 2-seat Impreza-based Coupe? I'd still go for the Impreza-based convertible thing though...the one that, if you squint a bit, looks like an S2000?

who said that! ;)

I was hoping to see some bike-engined le-man refugee road-racer, possibly with brakes on fire. but no, it's a Citroen mummy-buggy, which for some reason has had money spent on it? Surely that's just throwing good money at bad. You can't polish a t11rd

do it, it's a mid-range Alpine so it can't be too bad. you can get a cable that'll connect this up to your control stalok AND the dash-top display too, it's about £70 or something, but it stops you having a dead screen. Sure you can probably get the stalk conroller for about £25 all-in...

not a bad design, at least it looks different! Big blingy wheels and a nice black paint job, it'd be smart
