I would like the SOC but without the clear background so it's just the white lettering

"I'll be there".... Sparky depending

13:00 sounds good.

My wife is looking for a weekend toy seeing as I have the Impreza and the Imp and she is keen on a R53 Cooper S. Has anyone had experience with one? What should I be looking for and what are the common problems?? Her daily is a 2014 Ibiza FR edition which is 140ish bhp so she wants something as fun but a bit more powerful for the weekends and potential track use. Thanks Tim

I think Saturday is going to be a squeeze for me....I have an electrician coming at 09:00 which will take a few hours then I am out at 17:45 with the family. What times are you thinking??

The other option could be Southsea sea front by the pier but I do like the idea of a Goodwood meet

Try Timmyjk7 :)

Would be nice if we had some sort of price guide

Went to try and upload the pics at the weekend but there are just too many.. This is the link to the full build page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/?_rdr#!/media/set/?set=a.377896038960059.88154.114076275342038&type=1 I have put a video on Youtube awhile back when we first got it running albeit with a temporary exhaust from a Tiger kitcar. The new exhaust has since been fitted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64UyJbX4I9w

Its a TU5 8v 1600 from a Saxo VTR however it is running a Megajolt, Newman PH3 fast road camshaft, Racelands 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, custom Longlife Exhaust silencer (well not that silent ), Bog Brothers inlet manifold and Honda Fireblade bike carbs. We put the original Saxo on the rollers and it made 96bhp so with the modifications we are expecting 120-135 bhp but it weighs less than 750kg so should be pretty nippy! The exterior has a custom carbon "Sport" bootlid, custom carbon front bib spoiler and a custom grille. Interior is fully stripped out with historic OMP TRS Legend bucket seats, Safety Devices historic loop roll cage, OMP 4 point harnesses, OMP rally deep dish suede steering wheel and custom Stileto dash with Dolphin gauge clusters. Cooling and fueling has been improved with a MG TF front mounted radiator with wheel arch vents, larger capacity ally fuel cell mounted in OEM position (at the front). The brake system and suspension has been upgraded to GAZ fromt adjustable coilovers with rear GAZ adjusting dampers, Monte Carlo lowering springs all round which gives the car a very nice ride height (or will be wehn we sort it out as its not sitting right!). The brakes on the front have been upgraded to Fiesta Zetec S disc conversion and the rear drums have been cleaned and refurbished. The car has also been extensively polybushed and has new steel braided hose lines. Wheels are gold Minilites 8" front and 9" rear wrapped in Falken rubber. Finally the transmission is a 4 speed Mk3 Imp gearbox built by Reg Pattern using beefer diff pins. This is mounted to the engine using a custom adaptor plate. The clutch system has been taken from a Sierra 4x4. There is probably so much more I have missed but you get the gist on how much work has gone into this car ...... and money lol

Some more pics of the new paint work. Full build photos to come over the weekend.

I will try and get the full build pictures posted at the weekend but be warned it is pic heavy!!!

Oh jeez I didn't realise that ha ha ha! Rear engined rwd is the way forward! Yea in happy for you to do that! Thanks

Few pictures of my custom Hillman Imp VTR aka Project Hilda. Sorry it's not a scoob but it does have gold wheels ha ha!

Cant view it unless your a member of that forum. Any chance you could copy and paste the advert?

Thanks I have opted for the D2's like I said on my previous post. The D2's work out same price (when you factor in K-Sport dont come with pads) and they have the dust seals which the K's dont.

8 pots I believe. The 330's would be tight on the front and as they are same price i went for the 356mm front. Not sure what pads the garage are getting for me as the ones supplied by D2 are not great.

Mine is just a WRX. I have gone for the D2's 356mm front and 330mm rears as these will fit better with the GT1's.

Nice hatch.... I will be keeping eyes on this one!

Thats what my Oakleys are for

Add me in to the mix please

Whoever buys this wont use it on the roads and it will become a show piece in a garage collection! Shame!

Im pretty sure the materials/colour are different and the fixing elbow is slightly different. Someone may be able to tell me otherwise.

I dont want a full carbon bonnet on the scoop insert which is £125

I havent got the time for two but im going to Wales in june so I will punish the car on the B roads (within the UK law!) so i should be able to tell the difference after the work is done in July
