Agreed with the comment about normal people not realising about the values of vees. I had someone in a car park say 'I like that... What's one cost £4-5k??'
The last year or so the car has had quite a lot of press coverage on tv and numerous magazine articles so a lot more enthusiasts are...
Acid yellow is a very marmite colour. Personally I love it. Very high price tag tho as it would need upwards of 4 grand spending on it.
I don't think he wants to sell it unless someone will pay over the odds, according to other forums it's been advertised a few times at top money and I can't...
I can't make it this year. I have plans for the Saturday afternoon starting around 4. Realistically I don't think it's worth me travelling all the way there to leave early.
Thanks for the reminder. Iv still not bought tickets. I didn't realise it was so soon.
I'll check Iv got nothing planned for that weekend and then book a ticket and get back to you on this thread. I'd be more than happy to travel up again like last year tho.
I just lost a whole bottle of this never even got to try it!
Also purchased a few bits.
Bouncers done and dusted
Car pro iron X
Gyeon soft dryer
Wolfs white satin
Wolfs silk milk
Wolfs quick detailer
Wolfs wheel clean and coat.
4x California air fresheners
When I cancelled my Vodafone contract 18 months ago there was an oldish bloke in store complaining he hardly ever had signal or 3G. I watched the person in store upgrade his contract to a 4g contract which his phone wasn't enabled for telling him that would fix his problems!
Since being on ee...
I tried to get new Renault wheel bolts last year but the set has been discontinued or unavailable at the time. I also looked at the tpi ones but as I purchased wheel spacers I got new longer bolts from larkspeed at the same time.
Car looks great mate. Have you had chance to get out and use it...
Perhaps it looked worse than it was. I'll make sure I tag you if and when I go into the history in more detail.
Well if your ever in Norfolk your more than welcome to come out for a spin! I get to a few shows throughout the year as well. 2 highlights being the cliosport festival and origine rs.
http://www.cliosport.net/threads/technical-grey-v6.641582/ Hopefully that link works. Charles the previous owner did a little wrote up. I'll try to get round to doing my own soon.
It wasn't too bad for a first attempt. When spring gets here I'll be out again trying to get some more!
Iv watched your spike janspeed exhaust videos a few times. Scott has said to me if I do buy one at a later date he will fit it for me while I wait.
My Illiad has got a custom stainless exhaust...
Ha ha sorry about that I guess!
Yes this car was a cat d when Steve bought it. He did the car up as a hobby and documented every step along the way on the v6 forum. As far as I can tell and anyone that has worked on the car has said he did a sterling job and didn't skimp anywhere.
Since Iv...
Ha ha shouldn't need any... Although I still have the standard exhaust and suspension so there's options to spend if I like. Probably not this year tho!
Thanks Scott!
As Marc said around £1700. To be fair if the old gearbox had to come apart and have some new bits put in it would of soon added up to a large total!
Thanks!
There's a bit of a story to the colour which hopefully I'll get round to a thread about the car soon.
Glad your happy with your box. Iv only driven mine back from the garage (200 miles) but it felt great then.
They do polish up good but not sure id have the patience! Iv got a spare as well and it suprised me how heavy they are!
I'm unsure about phase ones mate but the spike janspeed for the phase 2 is around £850 I think. I also made contact with orbisoud in France and they quoted €1300 and €1550 for...
It wasn't cheap but as I intend on keeping it a while it should be worth it. Shame I couldn't stretch to an exhaust as well. If the gearbox didn't need replacing I probably would have.
