Car looks quite simply, awesome. Can see why the LY is now going and you had to snap this one up!

jamesycc · Mar 4, 2017

Yes an epic car. Just need to dismantle a bit of scaffolding to get the wee man in with us.
Our Sunday trip around the peaks just got a lot more exciting

Boost is very addictive

Didn't realised how much I missed it from back in my Scooby days until I got your meggy.

100% agree- I mean, do you even own a car if there is no thread?!?!

Will do. Honestly not had time to do much to it to warrant a thread. Spent most of the week getting the Cup ready for todays transaction.

Will try and get some pics up this week.

Thanks mate and I know what your saying about the colour.

We originally wanted a Storm but couldn't find one at the right price/spec and then the Alien came up but still anchored after a Storm. This came available and has the turbo conversion already done - was a no brainer tbh.

Thanks buddy an epic colour and of course the rarest 200 colour :smile:

Anyhow not really got around to doing much this week with it. Managed to dismantle the roll cage slightly to get the rear seats back in and Oliver's seat in - amazingly easy tbh :smile:

Also discovered the car is famous for its roll cage:http://www.safetydevices.com/motors...door-RS+197+and+200-without-sunroof/844/1623/

And this is how it still sits:

mossyv6 · Mar 9, 2017

Also a few service parts bought for the LY 200.

Cambelt kit.
De-phaser.
Water pump.
Aux belt.
Spark plugs.
Air filter.
Oil and filter change.
Revised metal dipstick.
Also having a none crunching replacement gearbox fitted

and my H & R lowering springs fitted.

All in the safe capable hands of @RevLimitUK

Whats the plan with the LY now mate you selling it on .

Gus · Mar 9, 2017

Love the new Storm grey 200 !. You really need a triple garage or maybe a warehouse lol.

Yes being sold on pal. A shame really as its such a nice clean car but can't keep them all. Got a couple of people interested but want it to be right for them hence getting the mechanics side of things also right for them.

It's such a hardcore colour. We have been looking at moving and car storage is quite high on the agenda

Louis · Mar 9, 2017

Looks great mate!

The ly

Not sure yet buddy. Need to do my maths and work out the best economical package to offer such as Speedlines, Recaros or standards etc.
But one thing is for sure is the gearbox and cambelt was a must, I probably won't get the money back on but will sell the car easier.

182_steve · Mar 11, 2017

Must admit I do prefer the car with the rear seats back in and cage out as well so that gets the thumbsup :up:

Looking forward to progress on this............. someone is also going to get a great car with that LY!!

mossyv6 · Mar 14, 2017

Well got the LY200 back from @RevLimitUK

The above work is all done and also replaced a drop link which I was dreading was a bearing but all now sorted

I can't recommend them enough - superb work, great price and even washed it for me

Thanks very much mate

Here's a quick snap:

Christ Paul... you told me you had problems when you bought T120 and would need to calm down.
Ly, Megs now a boosted Storm, aswell as the other three keepers.

Lol, yes you're right. I think this is the last purchase for a while now - but I'm sure I have said that before

Ps - the Trophy is still going strong buddy, one last job is to get the rusty bonnet done and that its

and hoping to see you in Wales in September with your new purchase

That plate supposed to read R26 CLIO? Pretty smart.

dablk · Mar 15, 2017

@mossyv6
Hi Paul, pleased to hear... as you gather shouldnt have sold 120 but cash flow for the z4mc was needed at the time. Knew it was going to a nice OCD (in a good way) home to sort the bits out that i never got round to.

So yeah. 147... is waiting for me to pick up. Rolled the dice on another "cheaper" Trophy. Hope to get to WW2017 but think i already have a work clash.

So which one is little man getting to learn to drive in... saw a comdey story about Harry Metcalf taking his young son to child driving school in his 004 trophy. Your lad has a fine choice to pick from.

Number 120 is a real cracking car mate - you did a great job saving it. T pulls like a monster still.
Hope number 147 goes ok for you and would be good if we could see you at Wales.
As for the little man It would be rather cool if I still had the v6 when he is older

Ash255welch · Mar 22, 2017

Cracking thread this!
The V6 is just another level.
