Interestingly enough i saw my first YGR this morning. I was parked on a local driveway alongside a verde alceo Aventador SVJ. I walked right past the Lambo to look at the Yaris, obviously i couldnt get that close as it someones driveway and didnt take any pics, I have to say its a damn cool...

Nah, im messing :D Like you, i love the idea and romance behind the concept. But its got a bloody big bandwagon of people, especially influencers etc and often these bandwagons snowball and then leaves the poor car unable to write the cheque it needs to cash.

Not driven one yet. but Litchfield are doing great discounts on their Nitron suspension package for them at the moment. Enter code :MRJWW25K at the checkout. :D Lols, Great looking thing, genuinely interesting. Reports are they're not actually that playful on the road or track but supposed to...

Love the way the snow has settled on the Turini spokes and tops of the skirts :D

I totally get why collectors would pay the price asked for it, as we say, go find a better one with those miles. I think the sad thing for me with any ultra low miles performance car with a premium, is that it totally condemns their life to being a shelf queen. These are always cars revered...

Hi, it was sold about 6 months ago.

Have you got a photo? The cage should have bendable tabs inside to create tension on the housing it sits within.

Id love one of these but i think im too low to get away with it :(

CL5s will still squeal unless used with intent.

If the wiper arms havent been off in a while, pop the covers off and get some penetrating oil such as Plus Gas on them a few days before. Refit with a thin smear of copper slip and they’ll come off by hand next time you need to get them off.

My guess is something worn or failed in the linkage. You obviously have to remove the wiper arms to take the scuttle off. But worth refitting them with the linkage exposed so you can use them to check for slop. Also be sure locate it correctly in the rear alignment pin when you refit the...

Sounds like something is worn or loose. Blade length shouldnt change if it hits the a pillar or not, as the blade length doesnt change the linkages range of motion. Have you had the linkage out recently?

So i was updating my car service Exel sheet this morning. Last year might have been an awful year for many, but the litlle Clio got a whole lot of love in 2020. Hopefully good for a few more miles yet 2020 Fuel filler/rear arch paint works at Spikes Vintage Resto 13/01/2020 Recaro...

Same as the front dampers mate. Motorsport Tools 406mm. https://www.motamec.com/motamec-spring-cover-coilover-protector-shock-bag-black-16-406mm-long-pair.html

Lol, the 132k mile daily driver boys, c'mon, its not even a halo'd Trophy :D Thanks for the kind words xx :)

FYI as I’ve had all 3 of these systems on my car in the last year. BTM/Yozzasport-2 Orbisoud resonated/decat. PMS full decat.

I did have but deleted off my phone now. They’re all approx the same in decat format (4kg) and the resonators don’t weigh much anyway. I’ve felt a few of these now and the PMS is the lightest overall that I’ve experienced.

BTM left, Orbisoud right. Both less centre sections. The PMS is lighter than both of them too.

It’s okay mate, I too have experienced your road traveled and it’s an incredibly tough one. Both financially and emotionally, as you know, it’s the reason I broke the Impreza. That could have paid for a new GT3!! I just think for something like a gearbox of which is a known quantity, I’d be...

Can you not just fit the box anyway? Surely that will still complement the standard car?

Im assuming that’s the whole red beetle ?

That’s what I did. Belts, water pump, front & rear main seals as well as having the sump off to be checked and re sealed. New clutch, rebuilt box and diff all at the same time. May aswell take advantage of getting as much done as possible.

For a road car that also sees track, it’s a perfect fit and forget solution. No additional NVH or clonking or routine maintenance. For an all out race car a Gripper is probably preferred as it’s a plate type diff that can be preloaded to your requirements. But they do require routine maintenance...

Yes a Quaife ATB.

Sounds like a plan. Look forward to seeing how you get on. Best of luck. ???

Mine does about 12k a year, so the fact you have use of another vehicle should hopefully allow you do tackle it a little at a time.

Lol, unless you’re is a daily driver like mine, I’m sure you shouldn’t have too much trouble. There really isn’t a lot to them. I’d concentrate on cleaning areas back that have any corrosion on them. Stop all that in its tracks first and get them protected. I also always make a point of rinsing...

Ha, what’s up Glenn? How can I help at all?

Managed to give the old nail a mid winter “wheels off” clean today. Mainly I wanted to give the underside a wash and dampers a good look over. They have been on the car for 10k miles now and I haven’t revisited them since fitting back in April. It’s no secret my car is my daily driver and gets...
