That's Foo Fighters chap but I know what you mean.

wheels will look cool chief... that police chase sounds mint. I'm imagining that guy off world's wildest police videos or whatever it's called.. "look at this joker playing with the law... but it's the troopers who had the last laugh, straight to jail "

Haha, you mean this guy?

Nice little shot in the fog this morning

Looks better, you just need some 17's now.

Time for a massive thread revival on my part! You would have thought i would have done loads to the deck in the last couple years since not posting on here.......but no....i havent...until now(ish) I was kind of falling outta love with the deck a while ago and was thinking of selling up, but a few prob needed sorting with it first before anyone would even be interested in it. The main problem was with the gearbox, it was being a complete b*****d to select first or reverse when stationary and the clutch pedal was pretty heavy, altho its been like this since i bought it so just put up with it. Well, one day my missus couldnt get out of a parking space she was in as it wasnt going into any gear for love nor money. So decided to get the car in at work and whip out the box and give the release bearing and input shaft a clean and re grease in the hope this would cure it. Removed gearbox and clutch to find the clutch was down practically past the rivets!! god knows how it was still working at all!! So ordered a new clucth kit, re greased everything up and got it all back together....and its like a new car!! pedal is so light and lovely to drive again im in love and gonna keep her. So the first bit of modding in 2 years is complete, nothing major but a bit of carbon to spruce up the interior and bring it a bit more up to date what i started with (couple bits missing) and finished with this got a few more bits to do in the pipeline, but she is back and shes a keeper!! cheers for looking Dom

The MB1 is the MA shape. Weird I know It's the only MB which looks like a MA haha

If they release a road going version of btcc car i will sell my balls to medical science just to own it

Looks good mate! It's not ridiculously high no more and half hour per corner is good going. Took me about an hour to fit the front lowering springs on mine, but then I was using air tools I forgot you still had the black bumper on, any progress on the other bumper?

Once I've painted mine you'll have a comparison when it comes to the whole package

Furry muff! Looking forward to Honda owning the field!

Right, got the Diamond Vision headlight bulbs and CREE interior bulbs fitted. Was hoping these would come out more blue but on the bright (lol) side they're pure white so there's no yellowy nonsense going on. They light up the road really well too. Nice and bright interior. Won't lose a penny on the floor ever again. And finally the boot, because why not.

Certainly solves it mate!! Lol. Think I kept the breather box (the little black thing) on mine. IIRC I managed to get it all to fit by slightly cutting some of the ducting, then taping them back up once they were all in position to tidy it up. Can take a pic for you tomorrow if you want?

Managed to find a tesco and actually was only 1.29!! Plus I get my fuel expensed and I still get he club card points

Blimey, it has been a long time, glad you've not sold up and re-found your love for the car though. I think your photos were probably lost in the forum changeover last year, lots were, I don't know if there's any quick way of updating it other than editing each post and re-linking.

Nice glad your back on it!

Yep looks better subtle but better. How's it feel on the road??

Subtle lows

That does look a good height mate and as said once front end back to normal (and the steel rim off) she will be looking sweeeet...

This didn't bore me bat shit crazy for 360 miles On the up side, new wipers on the way. Exciting stuff. Also bought and used the chemical guys trim restorer last weekend and it's amazing stuff. Will get some pics up this weekend with the second coat

Looking good mate! Half hour a corner is pretty good going think it took me nearly 3 to get all mine done!

Maybe just stick with de tangoing then mate! Everyone has their personal preference! The back does look a lot better de chromed.

Good progress matey glad you got the leaks done. She shines up lovely, need to de-chrome n tango the lights now!!

There's a rough as f*ck maroon VTI I pass on the way to work, its saddening. On the upside there's a mint 1.5(?) Sport in Pirates Black at Jacks Dept.

Taking advantage of the fog we're currently having at the moment to play with my fogs some more. Really can't wait to see what Diamond Vision and CREE bulbs do to the front end of my car at night.

Few loose ends to tie up. Gotta setup the throttle should be fun. Day off next week to swap cams. Then I'll book it week after for map. Desperate to be ready for track action this year

Guessing your gonna be doing yours that colour now Tom?! Think gunmetal like dynochips old wheels colour looks the best with your colour Kyfer

baby cobra that started off life as a Suzuki cappuccino!

I only put Shell V-Power and Tesco Momentum in my MB6. My MB3 I run on regular Asda unleaded, they have some additives in the fuel which helps clean the engine. Useful when your car is approaching 130,000 miles.

Thanks Dom,I brought the car with it,it's paint the last owner used to carry god knowns what in the back,I'm still finding small stones and stuff.

always liked these two, they belong to a couple of mates of mine in Inverness

I think because they're of an age where many are beyond economical repair, particularly the mb6 as the engine is worth around £700 alone. Imagine how many mk1 & 2 escorts were scrapped in the eighties and look at the price of those now, inspires me to keep mine on the road.

Looks fantastic Hurbert! Beautiful...

Yer but you want to see what I would do to a deck lol

Not bl**dy likely! He wants a deck as well but i wont let him

Here it is.
