Had this for a week or so and outlined my plans for it in my Racecar thread but thought I'd best start a new thread. Looked around at a few cars before this, R26 Meganes and 197 Cups mainly after being let down on an E46 Alpina and looking at a few tatty E39 M5's I went off them again. I'm...

As title, have a look HERE Russ

Nearly ready for the road again after being away for the winter. Done some jobs today after getting it back from the body shop. Just had the front end blown in to get rid of a few stone chips. Decided to fit new headlights instead of polishing the original ones, it's made such a difference. Just...

With all race cars being in the capable hands of other people this weekend decided to drag the Trophy out from where I've been hiding it. Plan was to give it a good clean inside and out and do a few jobs. No sooner had I washed it, it chucked it down! Had also planned to fit my new Scorpian...

Sick of this weather, everything's filthy and it's only light for 35minutes a day in Cumbria this time of year so managed to get my van and car washed today, didn't get a chance to wash the Mrs' Beemer so I'm In the bad books! Van. And my Beemer. Excuse the 'stance' there's an engine...

As promised just some pics and details on a 197 we're doing for a fellow Tricolore Racer for the coming season. Original plan was to just finish off the build, some loom tidying, extinguisher install etc but the original builder has run out of time so I've got the full job to do. As its...

So my much loved class A 182 has now gone to its new home and should be back on the Tricolore grid in 2016. This thread is for one of my new race cars. (New class A car thread still to come) this is primarily for class F in the Tricolore Trophy which is production based so limited...

Not sure if I've done the right thing but my ph1 is now in eBay no reserve. Had it advertised for a month and have had more timewasters than ever before, even took a deposit from one that changed his mind without looking at it! It's currently sitting unused and I need the space and the money...

Gave the Ph1 a good clean today and it's come up really nicely. Still needs a good clay and polish but it's getting there. Restored the headlights as they were looking a bit yellow too. Spent some time under the bonnet as I like the engine bay to be tidy. In 2 minds whether to sell it...

Needed a runner for the winter until I sort a van for next seasons race duties do managed to pick up a nice cup recently, 85k and last owner for 7 years! All standard apart from a Yozza exhaust which is coming off as its too loud for my liking. The renaultsport stickers will also be removed asap...

Bought this week to build into another race car, the clio is staying on as well though. The plan is to have it done sometime in 2015. Its a 2005 facelift car and came with a few nice bits to offset the build cost like Premier edition Recaro seats and a few other mods. Sold the seats and...

Keep getting messed about on here so anyone that's got a genuine valeo/Renault non cup alternator give me a shout, must be in excellent working order, the newer and lower mileage the better. Thanks Russ

Put it back on its wheels tonight for the first time in ages. I've been undersealing all the arches, sills and floor area and repainting the calipers back to oe black (previously silver). Threw a bucket of water over it tonight as it was dusty, that and some tire shine make it look a whole...

Was in need of another temporary estate car after I sold my E class recently do set about searching. As much as I'd like to emulate mike woodford with his E39 Touring they're just too far out of budget for the time being. 1st choice this time was an audi allroad until I started looking at Saabs...

My old car, looks good all painted black, had a few nice upgrades since i sold it too. Race cars direct ad here Russ

Bought yesterday as a runabout for the winter as i currently have no road going vehicle, looking for another BMW Touring but will find one come spring time. Needs a few bits cosmetically, wheels refurbed, steering wheel retrim and interior trims repainted, the usual PH1 bits really. Going to...

Zweimal = Twice or two of if you're German isn't great btw! Weather was decent today so got a couple of pics of the Z4M Coupe while it was still clean after its big detail last week and also a couple of the wife's new car that we picked up this morning as well. Its an Estoril Blue 118dM-Sport...

As title really looking for a stockist of arp rod bolts for my 182 motor. Preferably someone that keeps them in stock and does decent rates for cliosport members. Russ

People that have a fibreglass on a tailgate on a 172/182 how have they fitted it? I have one of Hals off here and I expected it to come with the original top hinge mounts in place and I would just use aerocatches on the bottom but there is nothing on the top. Have others modified the top so its...

Guessing this has been covered before but I believe R-Sport doesn't exist anymore or at least doesn't supply parts for the cup race cars, so who does? Need a few bits, do they need to come from France now? Anyone got a contact number or email that'll help me out? russ

Have a look HERE have a used 200litre compressor and a brand new snap on blue point 1/2" impact gun. Russ

So after buying a tidy 172 cup to prep to race i saw Icemans caged shell for sale and decided to save my self some time and work and buy it instead of doing all the hard graft on my shell. Picked it up on saturday and after swapping all my running gear onto it in record time in Marks garage it...

Bought this over 2 years ago as a tatty standard example of a Series 1 106 Rallye, i'd looked for 1 for a while and have previously had a standard white S1 106 Rallye as well as Red, white and black 306 Rallyes and a Gti-6 among others. Being a black S1 and non sunroof means its pretty rare...

Picked it up at the weekend, ex 2006 TCR Onslow-cole Championship winning car. Driven it the grand total of about 20 yards so far, on and off the trailer and into the garage. Spent some time tonight taking all the stickers/numbers off ready for my bits and pieces to go on. Got the side mouldings...

Searched loads threads on here but haven't found an answer. Are the front lower suspension arms different between cs models, got some brand new wishbones for my ph1 that I want to stick on my trophy. Russ

Just picked it up yestersday, it involved a lift to the airport from my dad at an unholy hour, a flight from newcastle to gatwick, my mate picked me up from the airport and gave me a lift to brighton then i drove the 376 miles home in it! If you'd seen it up for sale you'll have seen it had...

Well i've sold the Westfield after less than 2 weeks, served its purpose of getting me out of the Leon and made me a few bucks along the way. Wanted something to use on a weekend or to go somewhere in, instead of pinching the Mrs' car all the time or taking the van. Considered all sorts of...

Well the Leon finally went today, never had to work so hard to sell a car, will have to think very hard in the future whether i buy a purpose built racer again as the the market is so limited when its time to sell them on. The guy that bought it had a 2005 Westfield Megablade that i took in part...
