Its fully legit, the tax remains the same when Mark put the 172 engine in he went to the local tax office and explained the woman said it remains the same 1.2 tax, so legit. It was insured with Adrian Flux as a heavily modified clio with all mod's declared and came out cheaper than a 172 would. Before he got rid he was only paying 4 hundred a year
i was 20 a week ago so insurance is expensive to say the least.:S

few tips mate, dont change the rear axle, you'll get no extra braking power plus the rear bearings are stronger in the hubs then the discs or other wise i would have changed them as i have braided lines for the rear somewere at my parents house.
i only had time to pc the bonnet, front bumper, passenger wing and front door, give it a coat of svizzwax i have you and leave it in the sun for around 6 hours before buffing it off
and as for the suntrip - wear sunglasses lol
and the ibiza only a make do car till i'm happy with my income at the tattoo studio really wanted an audi s3 time till tell though!
anyways mate as i said no pictures of it on its roof in a bush and i'm happy

sad to see the "project black" leave us. mark and myself have put a lot of hours working on this car, more so mark than me, and i know it was marks pride and joy. but i am pleased to see that it has gone to the right owner that is gonna look after just as much as mark did. any plans to track it?
keep me, mark and charlotte posted yeh! and as said by mark, no crashes would be awful to see such a lovely looking car wrecked.
just my car to go now

Project black = legend.
Awesome car you got there. If you ever get followed by a traffic cop wearing big shades for gods sake make sure you stick to the limit. robo-cop is on the look out for his nemesis

Why would RS bother developing the disks then?
Aesthetics and consumer demand...

disk setups are cheaper for car companies to produce i herd from someone i know at fords dunno if its true tho,rear brakes only account for 15% of your breaking too so i dont see the need for rear disks that much unless you go for a weighty car like an escalade or something
i have had advise from a few places and they recomend changing the brums on the basis of brake bias. on around 10% braking at the rear at the mo but for true braking balance it needs to be closer to 20% to keep the car settled under braking and stop it standing on its nose.lol.

Erm from quick fit or something?
Now if a Renault sport mech said it then fair enough....... I know some people who call themselves 'mechanics' but i wouldn't let them near a push bike let alone a car. Drums can brake better, but also over heat big time. Old mini's had drums all round. Initial bite good, then faaaaaaade. The fronts then got upgraded to discs to overcome this
Any reasonable performance car have rear discs due to the pounding they may get driven in anger. They dissapate (sp) the heat better.
