My mate Andy has just listed his VTR on ebay , by far one of the cleanest saxo builds Ive seen.

Worry in that people who would actually like to own and enjoy these cars wont get the chance, as people will try to hold out for stupid money cause the internet says so.
The worry is that the same will happen to the clio market that happened to cosworths , a few very nice cars sell for high money. Owners see this and try to cash in but in the end lots of cars listed at high prices but very few selling.
I think mk2 clios really have another 10 years before they...
They are a strange one as yes they were limited and had high praise but were they really that special ?? I didnt think my one was all that, over my old 182 cup road car.
Yes they are a limited colour but some of the other standard colours are also nice
Yes they had nice seats but you still...
Can vouch fro Protek they did the front end on my 360 and it was flawless.
A mate just had the front of his R8 done at Jacksons accident repair in Fife and again very good finish and price.

Very nice looking car we were having rolls at the cafe when you went past.
First breakfast meet I’ve been to , really nice mix of cars and ideal location.
How nice was Barrys 992 GT3
Hard choice Gaz as both very different cars. Like you say you have wanted an RS6 as long as I’ve known you , and justnow they have dropped in price quite a bit with the new one released last year.
R8 is a nice car and fast while still being useable, short term you shouldn’t loose much on one...
Short version
He split it for parts
Built a cooper S to go racing
Done some racing
Turned gay and left the mini to sit neglected
Bought a cool M3 to redeem himself
Been following the build and looking forward to see how you progress with it.
Knockhill my local track , the quickest clios are doing 59’s , non of the turbod ones ever lap quick or last
I'm sure they were et35 but I had a roll center kit aswell which pushed the wheels out another 5mm on the front.
It was very tight to the point that the tires touched both side.
Very true ive been using mine a fair bit, bar really wet days as it is on cup2's.
I think once my wee boy is old enough to not need a buggy everywhere I will probably look to get a turbo s.
Yip seems well made and tows nice, its ideal for what I want as its 5ft wide so don't need to take wheels or pods off the kart to fit it in.
Looking to get the kart kit for it or making a shelf kit so we kan get 2 karts in it.
Sold this a few days ago , went to join a porsche and cosworth is someone's collection.
I bought it originally to use for fun while I had the 360 for special days, sadly never really used it much and with having the Porsche now I really didn't have a use for the clio trophy.
Decided to get...
If I still had a track car I probably would, justnow on my trophy road car its probably not worth it for all the use it gets.
I would say on a standard power track car the rc kit will buy you as much time as a diff on a tight track.
Once you start going up in power and struggle for traction...
Ive had the Northloop kit and the ACS in the past and the Northloop kit was much better quality.
I know of at least 3 cars that have had the bottom pin snap on the ACS kits while on track.
Fabspeed and high quality first time ive seen those words together :ROFLMAO:
Custom is probably the only way to go as exhaust sounds is a very personal thing , my 182 has a piper cat back which is meant to be one of the quietest aftermarket but even that has a bit of a drone at cruising speeds.
A local car photographer had asked if he could do some pics of my cars for his portfolio , came out brilliant considering the weather was terrible today.
Decided to give the clio a little run today and bring it home while I have some garage space, first time I've even seen the car in about 3 months.
Covered up
Un wrapped
Started first turn and outside
Back home for how long I dont know.
I had nitrons on my Lotus and was very impressed , but as they are a race car part the build quality as far as longevity goes isnt the best for road use and really a yearly overhaul is to be expected.
