Let’s Talk Cars - GR Yaris First Updates/Lancia Delta Auction/Subaru restoration!

[@natel5370]

Glad you got it sorted .. sometimes cars don’t need to be as extreme as people set them up . I love my jdm spec c hatch with Cusco econ2 can adjust damping on the go

[@Zenyettamondatta]

The Yaris has bought out the inner child in you bud and its great to see, well done on the Delta fantastic car so very jealous of you bud 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Andy-qh9su]

Integrale looks awesome. Seats are really rather special I had a drive in a new early version back in the day, coming from a 205 1.9 GTI it felt like a rocketship

[@aggie3344]

Congratulations on the integrale I owned an evo 1 from 2007-2011 best car I’ve ever owned regret selling it til this day should’ve listened to my wife she told me not to sell it because I would regret it!🥴best car ever made😊👌🏼ENJOY

[@luketaplin42]

Congratulations once again on the Stunning Lancia Dream car for me but you already know that good price too. Hope to see it on Saturday down at vvs

[@Challengetheroad]

Thanks Luke, it will be on display at VVS

[@mattross7901]

Looking forward to the track footage Richard 👍 would love to hear your feedback on the GT4RS. Trying to line up a drive but seeing a lot of feedback saying the noise in the cabin is just too much!

[@c4rltsyt]

Hi, By increasing the ride height you are not compressing the coil springs but you are increasing the suspension travel which is a good thing. Did you mean you softened the suspension to make it smoother?.

[@Challengetheroad]

Thank you, just less crashy on the road and I am not grounding out on potholes etc now

[@Lou-f]

@@Challengetheroad Yep so long as the damper has the travel to extend. It probably will also bring the suspension back to where it was intended to be.

Hello Richard, have you seen new shape Land Rovers are going walkies. I’ve seen two reports of them being taken without keys in a week, and not taken via relay! Looks like possible canbus hack from descriptions.

[@Challengetheroad]

I have been watching but worn out from last time 🤣

[@namAlexander]

remember looking at the evo in that in 90s low milage in Yorkshire, 11k was the price... mental now old school hot hatches , sold my 5gturbo 44k around then for 2.5k and it was mint ... dam it

[@Challengetheroad]

Thank you, I have that original bill of Sale in the paperwork!

[@richardsargeant9217]

That looks like a lovely Verde York and a good price as well. On my second Evo and wouldn't have anything else now. Did you say you were having starting issues? Had this on my Evo 1, changed the two 12v Relays in front of the passenger compartment in the engine bay and fingers crossed seemed to solve the issue I was having.

[@Challengetheroad]

Thank you, looking forward to restoring the Verde! Struggling with white Evo 1 and starting hopefully we get working soon

[@popsbubbles1242]

The blue on the Aston is stunning, yes the spoiler looks great colour coded. Are you keeping the green on the Lancia? or changing it up? I like the green and tan interior, I would add a metallic gold fleck in the paint to tie with the tan interior. Once again I will say you have superb taste and good eye.

[@Challengetheroad]

Thank you, yes going to keep it the same colour and refurb the the interior in the Tan. I really love the Green and Tan interior, the Aston look so good and filming next week

[@discohead735]

I've got a GR and am 6"2 and am honestly baffled about why everyone is going on about the seat height. I had a Range Rover sport that was far worse for headroom.

[@Challengetheroad]

All seems fine to me as standard

[@paulw5822]

The Integrale looks straight, now you have inspected the car, are you happy it is a Verde York? There was some confusion over it being grey once in the auctioneers description, which seemed odd? I am always cautious on these cars that have covered 200 miles over the last 15 years. Looking forward to the updates on this one, thanks for the videos!

[@Challengetheroad]

Thanks Paul, full video soon, but I was going to bare metal respray the car and make it the best it can be. I am pleased as there is hardly any rust on the car 🙌

[@anthony208]

Lovely Lancia Delta, always fancied one and very nearly bought a left hooker back in the day, enjoy👍 Did or are you planning driving it before the resto begins?, I couldn’t resist having a go if it was mine🤣🤣 Scoobys still my favourite, but deltas are a close second.

[@Challengetheroad]

Thanks Antony, I think I will give a quick drive to Matts for sure

[@anthony208]

@@ChallengetheroadDefinitely, I look forward to the vlog, will you be imagining yourself as Markku Alen, Auriol, Rohrl, Waldegard, Biasion, Toivonen or Juha Kankkunen?🤣🤣🤣 PS slightly outside my price range, but that Yaris would defo be on my bucket list of cars to buy, it sounds like a modern day pocket rocket/hot hatch👍

[@jamielearmonth1039]

owned a mica blue uk turbo 2000 many years ago, spoiler is the correct one for a uk turbo 2000. had a few prodrive bits on mine and ecutek remap to 280bhp. great cars. had a 1997 v3 sti I imported from Japan after the uk car and it was in a different league.

[@Challengetheroad]

I had to bring it to life, it had unfortunately been keyed round badly. I had a blue mica 2000 it’s still One of my favourite cars today

[@jonathancollard3710]

Sitting here slightly smug…. I’ve kept my GR Yaris 100% stock… not even wheel spacers. It does exactly what it needs too on road and track. A bit like when I see fat blokes in tight nomex race suits harping on about spending £30k on carbon fibre splitters and cup holders I know if they just lost 2 stone their track times would improve no end. Better still, get some instruction 🤦🏻‍♂️. Some mechanical “improvements” are just pointless. Get it out to Thruxton, Bedford and Brands to enjoy the tight corners and help equalise its lack on top speed. Deffo forget Silverstone and perhaps even Goodwood.

[@Challengetheroad]

On the track this week - really enjoying the car now
