    WRC 2017

    It was a Passat and he give the rear of it a good belt. He got disorientated and couldn't find his way out of the car park. He was leading by 37 seconds so still managed a win.

    Selling to French buyer.

    I get this all the time when buying cars in the UK, no disrespect but you guys are very sceptical when it comes to this sort of thing. I spend more time convincing the seller I'm genuine than I do finding out about the car in question. Section 11 on the V5 is for "permanent export" of the...

    Cheers Matt, I wont go too mad with this one (unless I find a Sadev at right money:smile:) After only about 400 mile of ownership the alternator failed while parked up for 3 weeks, not even while in use. Now refitted and the car is gone to have the airbag/seatbelt lights put out.

    Suspension guru's unite.....

    I'll be the first to admit I'm new to the Clio and how it behaves To the above settings but I'm no stranger to setting up rally cars. For a road car 2 degrees camber sounds like a lot, it is perfectly Fine on a lovely flat track but when you allow for the crown on the road (Higher in middle...

    Nothing cooler than a performance van, my brother has a Mk4 Golf R32 van too :sunglasses: As there was no longer rear seat belts fitted I didn't like the look of the remaining holes in the C pillar trims. I filled with fiberglass on the back. Skim of filler on the front And flocked...

    Im in Sligo. Cheers for that, like all AC "carbon" parts you get 1 layer of carbon backed up with 2/3 layers of fiberglass. I can make them 100% carbon from off cuts for next to nothing.

    The Recaros will be staying. Cheers for the clip offer but I have a Bosch Service centre less than a mile away that can do the job. I have a few car "break down" every year, it's what your paying for. Another reason to convert to a van is road tax. 2l tax here is €710 Per year and...

    Cheers for the kind words guys. I don't plan on any engine mods, your flogging a dead horse Really. I have enough cars to spend money on. I will however invest in a CAE shifter to make me feel more at home When I sit into the rally car with sequential.

    Another thing I dont like about these mirrors (my Evo 8 set being the same) is nobody supplies a matching trim for the wing. So I took a mould from the original peice Gel coat on its own A rough mould, I didnt waste loads of time on the mould as I only needed them once. Laid up with...
