Just gone to get the magazine to get the details so that I can have a listen, and have left it in the apartment.............in Majorca. Misses thought that I had read it and didn't want it any more!!! Not good!

Hi, Anything that costs £400 plus to TAX, so Scoobies, R32's, etc......... Thankfully my 172 is a track toy, so no tax or insurance to pay.....

Hi, This months EVO is all about best sounding cars, which I thought is quite difficult to do in a magazine, but you can go on their website and listen to them. Everything from a BDA powered Escort to a Maclaren F1. Like the group B Audi, amongst others...

Hi , It was mentioned on another thread about the future of Renaultsport Clio's. EVO mag states the new Clio will have a 1.6 turbo from the Nissan Juke??? Sadly smaller engines and turbos really are the future. Noticed the other day that Ford dont even put a 2litre in the new Mondeo any more...

Hi, Here is one that has had a "proper" rebuild. They had burberry trim to!!!! http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=45896

Hi, Like the original Nova's. Hunted for months for a 1300 sport. Only 500 ever made, came with a pair of 40's as standard. They were made for rallying. Went out with a girl, whose old man had one. Great little car. I will see if I can find a pic, as you will no doubt never see one!

hi, £9k is a lot of money, but is it worth it? Well, as somebody has already pointed out, it worth what someone will pay for it. If you want to keep it 10 years, you would certainly see a return. I sold my last Escort Mk1 RS2000 for £1000, in 1990. Nice ones are fetching £25000 now. They made...

Hi, Yes, best I could do. cant justify £700 for my track day toy. Hoping never to need a roll bar!! Rich

Hi, Just picked up my roll cage and rear strut brace. Sunglasses required!!!:rasp:

Hi, Big sis has just bought a 330d on a 60plate. None of us are big BM fans, but she loves it already. A comfy mileater that will accomodate 4 and get you from A to B at a good pace. All boxes ticked. Hoping to take it for a spin next week when I see her.

Hi, No such thing as a traffic wardens. Traffic wardens went when they de criminalised parking, about 6 years ago(might be 10 years now) They are either Parkrite officers, or civil enforcement officers. And those plates!!!!!

Chaved to the max!!!!! Owner should be shot on sight!

Hi, I reckon Ford will do an RS Fiesta, on the back of the WRC car. I can't see another Focus RS coming though. VW have the Polo WRC, so should do a Polo R or similar....

Hi, VAG definately have an advantage at the mo. The TSI engines are great. Driven both the 1.4 and the 2.0. Wot no lag!! Very reliable, low emissions, economical. Small petrol engines and either turbo or supercharger is the future(or Both). VAG are that clever/confident/cocky that thay have put...

Hi, Not only are turbos here to stay, but I reckon that they will be on 50% of new cars within the next 5 years. They have been around 30 years, so reliability is now no longer an issue. Cost has dropped dramatically. You can buy most turbos these days for about £300. Our NA Renaultsport engines...

Hi, I would also have to agree about the advert. The car may be great but photos and wording are not good. I don't want to be in any way offensive, but I would not take a second look at your car, due to the advert. I remeber being told once "you can't have a second chance at making a first...

Hi, Want a set of pads for my trackday car. Going to be running Brembo HC discs up front, and std gen Renault set up on rear. I am not a heavy braker, even at the track, so what would you recommend for pads, and who do I get them off? DS2500's?? Rich

Hi, saw the megane parken in Arnage, sun night. Loved the roll cage. Saw a very nice Trophy camping in Bleu Nord also. other than that, I don't think I saw any Clio's!!! My first le Mans. Soo much fun, too much beer...... Just broken it to the wife, that I want to go next year........

hi, Looks just like mine! I wasn't keen on the Ph1, but the longer i own it, the more i like it! Let me know if you need any trim for it. i have just stripped mine!

Hi, The torx head on my rear seats was already rounded, so out came MR Grinder. Done in seconds!!

hi, They would just do me for the track. Shame its soo far away!

Hi, The misses has gone out for the day, so I have been at home, stripping out the interior, to make a start on the trackday toy. I can't believe just how much is in it!! Nearly finished the interior, but had to stop to feed the kids! front garden looks like a breakers yard! good job the wife...

Hi, I am the grand old age of 41, with 4 kids. Just bought a 172 Ph1, to turn into a track day car. Drove it 140 miles home from the purchaser. despite it being a little tatty, with a knackered rear shock, it drove rather well. Bit too loud with a full Supersprint system,so thats going, so is...

Hi, Careful with an A frame or dolly. Stick a car on it and I am led to believe it becomes a "trailer". A trailer over 750kg needs to be braked, and their lies your problem. I wanted to go down the A frame route, but have gone for a trailer now, as the track car is not taxed or MOT'd, and I felt...

Hi, If you are on a budget, use 2nd hand tyres with about 3mm of tread on them. Brake fluid change is good advice. Oil and filter change, and take oil and water with you. cars get hot, and you might end up using some of each. Check your wheel nuts after every session. If you can, get tuition at...

Hi, Change your insurance. £480 for an "aftermarket Stainless exhaust" is a joke. Its price jumps like that, that make you NOT tell them of your mods, which is not a good route to go down. Always tell your insurance of your mods, as these days they will do ANYTHING not to pay out. I regularly...

Hi, I wanted to buy that car. I think I phoned the day he sold it. I thought it was a cheap car considering what had been spent on it. Good luck with it, and if you paid what I think you paid for it, then I think you had one hell of a bargain!! Well done! Rich

Hi, Starting to strip the interior from my 172, to turn it into a trackday toy. Seats are here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150611974295&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT The rest of the interior has to go too, Good parcel shelf, rear door cards, headlining, Carpets, pillar...

Hi, Love this, kids love it too. My 5 and 6 yr olds are Star wars geeks, and are into lego too. Keep it going! Rich
