I contacted the MSA about this because I was a bit worried about the cage in my Escort, but thankfully mine is homologated so not effected. It surprised me that the Clio cage had not been homologated. I guess the new one will be though, as otherwise this could easily happen again.

They look s**t, snap them in half and throw them in the bin so our eyes don't have to be sullied by them ever again lol. I've never seen a car where they have suited it, they just look like 90s car accessory shop tat. I can't say I ever feel the need to have the window open when it's raining...

Mine has a Klarius system on it. I had to have the centre box replaced as a piece of baffle broke, but the replacement has been fine.

Volans all the way.

I was back in Winnipeg last week and saw a yellow Evo V parked outside someone's house, reminded me of this thread. It had a dent in the dour unfortunately, but looked ok otherwise. Been looking at the price of property out there, really does make you think.

I like that. Refreshing to see one that isn't going to be turned into some kind of drift/scene thing. Would think these could be quite a good handling, fun car with the right modifications.

Shame that, I really like the look of it. Sure you don't want to sell it? Could even de-spec it a bit lol You have three MK1s and I can't even find one lol

Will keep that in mind, am up that way a few times a year.

Good progress. Where are you getting all the bits from for this? What's happening to the valver with the gold rims?

God I want a Williams/Valver. Plans for this sound very good.

Great looking car, even more so with red wheels. Would love to go in one of these.

It would sure be a good comparison. Similar power to my R but a very different type of car. Would love to see how the Clubsport feels by comparison. Next time I am up that way, you are very welcome to take me for a spin!

I have a lot of time for the Saxo VTS, I think they're awesome. The trouble would be finding a good one I think. It would be much easier to find a good Clio than to find a good VTS, so that would sway me I think. As for the MX-5....they're mobile chicanes, so no thanks. I have never come across...

Keep at it, all progress is good progress. Want to sell me the valver with gold wheels yet? lol Nice pussy btw.

I could be tempted by this. Never been before.

I'd really love to go in a Clubsport S, would be very interesting to see what it is like. Nice collection.

I'd really like one of these. Used to have an 850 T-5 that had all the R bits on. Mine was an auto but would definitely have a manual next time. This is the Volvo you should be modifying!

My 172 has them currently (came on some wheels I bought) and I genuinely hate them. Don't seem that good in the dry and pretty bloody frightening in the winter.

I get it. Go for it. Brave for wanting to put up with something so hardcore every day, but fair play. It will do your head in half the time, but rock your world the rest of it. Saving money over the M5 and zero depreciation to boot. People get very caught up in "fancy" performance cars. I've...

Looks a fun project, do love a MK1. I've not forgotten about the pictures you sent by the way, just got distracted by being on holiday lol.

Some more sensible tyres would make it look better in my view

Thanks for the responses chaps. So a 182 Cup is no wider than a standard 182? Wonder why they ditched the wider offset

Interesting. Wonder why the 172 Cup had wider offset but 182 Cup/Trophy didn't.

No one has ever actually measured this? I am surprised...

Like that a lot, CSL bits really transform the look.

That's what does make me reluctant to be honest. Got a 172 Cup currently and eventually plan to turn it into a rally car. However, I would imagine the MK1 is a little lighter and (most importantly) looks way cooler, so I would prefer to start with one of those. Just don't much fancy spending...

Wheels and spoiler will make this look awesome.

I think it would be much better if I kept it. I really want a MK1 :(

Lordy, I would do terrible things to own this.

Yellow?
