Seems I'm now fitting lightweight door cards front and rear. Really must stay out of the group buys part of the forum......
i'm picking a 172 cup up tomorrow if you're after something?
not heard of it tbh, but I'm only interested in the smooth stuff, rallycross is too hard in the car and wallet! I need to keep mine road legal.

172 Cup
In order of importance
1) New exhaust to replace the one who' innerds tried to free themselves during the final hillclimb event of the season
2) 15" wheels & List 1B tyres (probably R888R)
3) Front brake discs & pads
4) Lowered seat & harnesses

I was just thinking of an engine to put on a stand and tinker with (i.e strip down and have it ready built back up with ported head, cam's etc as a project in the spare time as and when I can chuck some spare money at it or find cheap turbo parts lol) is just a pipe dream at the minute.
I'll be driving mine to work every day :smiley:
Yeah right you'll fit a passenger seat 😂

Must admit it's got my curiosity peaked. Could be interesting and runs through the winter
what about rallysport? They have a winter series, held at nuts corner amongst other places, ~£80 Some rally-esque rounds I'd avoid but some Tarmac too

Im in the process of removing the PAS for a conversion to EPAS later in the year, running manual for a while.
Also relocating the battery to the boot, and fitting a cup alternator setup now that aircon is removed. Then going to thin out the wiring and remove the air con stuff from under the scuttle.

I'm getting married next year so spare funds are non existence. I'd like to get my b14s rebuilt tho and get a custom exhaust as my ktec stealth is a bit loud. Apart from that she doesn't need anything.
Not driven her for 4 months. It's gutting.

Fit the pms strengthening kits to rear beam and subframe, gripper diff and Megane 5th gear, possibly itb's and fit my fibreglass boot and bonnet and possibly buy fibreglass doors!
Oh and paint the inside but have no idea what colour... Looks like this at the mo

Same here haha I'm getting ball and chained next year so totally understand the having no spare fund's plus anything I do manage to save get's spent on our new daughter lol.
Looks like a good list hope you have a build thread or keep us updated at least. I wouldn't mind a full cage once mine is totally off the road and is on the trailer everywhere when we do track days.

* Even more weight loss from the inside + painting it a dark grey
* Braided brake lines
* Coil overs
* Solid Engine mounts
* Poly bushing the front end (if I have time and money left!)
It's been left at my parents for a few weeks now and I haven't touched it as I was away for two weekends with work, which has annoyed me. So hopefully start next weekend with removing the seats, front door cards and the tar stuff in preperation to paint the insides. Brother has agreed to help fit the braided lines this side of Christmas and then coil overs after Christmas.

Semi Slicks mate, I have 5 sets either to sell or just save for the next few seasons!

Safety Devices cage should be coming in the next few weeks, then need to find some fixed reacaro buckets and harnesses.
Mintex M1166 pads as I destroyed mine on the last outing at Snetterton.
Also upgrading the springs on my BC Coilovers and have ordered some Team Dynamic pro race 1.2's in 15 inch, for my 5 sets of part worn Direzzas that I have purchased.

Took a delivery of Federal 595 RSR's today for fitting, looking forward to getting one more (hopefully dry) track day in next month at Brands or Bedford.
Funny enough I thought of this thread today, flat tire on the BMW, so used my caged/stripped clio for the daily commute out to client meetings, not sure its the usual choice for a daily, I got some funny looks pulling up. The joys of keeping it road legal-ish and MOT'd I guess.

Are these the flat type like cm composites or just normal ones? Its still got the standard door cards in it.

3mm Acrylic/Perspex screwed/bolted/riveted to the door would be easy enough.

Its going in storage after this Sunday's track day, until mid March.... Hopefully that will stop me spending cash on it!!!

Expensive winter for me:
- New passenger seat as current one is out of date
- Get front discs skimmed
- Weld in new seat rails
- Have cross door bar made and weld in
- Fit new sequential gearbox
- Fit one piece valves/new cambelt
- Fit softer front springs
- Full geo alignment
And to top it all off have to buy a new helmet as I cant use my one anymore next year..
