Didn't someone ask about this car the other week? Maybe we should have a rule that these threads have the cars reg number typed in so they show up in a search?
Phase 1 is an aluminium ball and will fit. I bought a phase 1 stick and managed to remove the knob with a vice and hide mallet. They are on very tight. They are also painted so if you got one and it's a bit scratched it's not the end of the world.
If I had paid £4250 for a cup I'd have looked it over a bit closer. If the steering wheel badge had a bit of dirt in it not to my liking I'd clean it, but I wouldn't feel the need to accuse previous owners of lieing to me about the condition.
Lewis the anal attention you are lavishing on the car...
Yes. I've recently gone from cup dampers and cooksport springs to b14's on my 182 and it's a revelation! Mine a bit too low atm and I get a bit of scrubbing on big compressions but the ride quality is miles better. I can see why they would be too soft for track work but imo they are perfect on...

Looking good Mark and its nice to hear all the fettling you did early on is holding up [emoji16]. I'm with Steve though, I think the yellow on the wheel was out of place. I'd be tempted to repaint it in white if anything.
Spotted a Nova SR today just like this one, it was mint.
And two minutes down the road I was behind an old merc sl like this one. Was tidy but dog slow!
Sold my Integrale in 99 for £6k less than I paid. Even at the bottom of the scale it would now be worth 50% more than I paid.
Sold my last R5 GT Turbo 6 years ago. It was in need of some welding and a good tidy up but drove well enough. I buckled under the pressure of a nagging wife and someone...
