Thanks mate, yours looks like a great example, premier edition? Can I have your seats? Yeah likely a long termer now, I was going to sell it a few months back but I'm too attached to it, they are just cool as f*ck! Rear arches are the more prolific area for rusting, these have fabric arch...

Morning all, Few small bits done during the lockdown period - it's hardly moved since my first post due to working from home since mid-March. I've become more invested in it recently and the 'to-do' list just keeps getting bigger and bigger, as well as the amount of bits I've been buying and...

Ah shame, I was going to offer my services, managed to change my rear wipe blade yesterday which would mean I'm a certified mechanic.

I'd like an expansion to the term 'dangerous' please. What are we talking, drifting and street racing? Us lot lead by example, never exceeding any speed limits and celebrating by ordering off the kiddies menu.

Odyssey and Origins were superb IMO - just loved roaming the map mindlessly discovering stuff. Really can't wait for this, going to preorder it for sure! Still can't get over the £150 preorder deluxe editions with the figurines included, daft :LOL:

Are RS Murray still going in Leeds, I remember taking my 197 there a couple of times.

Same, grew up in Garforth and moved away 4 years ago. It's a metropolis nowadays, everytime I go and visit the parents something has been knocked down and more houses are being built - long live Stocks Blocks!

That's the problem them, I've been trying to shake them off! I've pretty much ignored lots of the jumps and collectibles TBH, so don't really know where lots of the jumps are. Most of the time I'm belting past at speed and don't want to have to stop and investigate where the run-up is, usually...

Still got the EP3 - I was almost going to sell it at the start of the year, but somehow I've decided not to and started spending money on it. Not sure how that works :D That's the only place that stands out to me apart from the ale shop round the corner, or Boundary. I almost bought some...

This is my current go-to game, anyone else playing or played it? Finding it fun at times but night time is a pain in the arse, finding myself just doing a quick race and getting back to the garage as soon as I can to save any REP I've made, the police cars are like tanks and I just can't lose...

Where abouts? I'm new to the area, I moved here from Kirkstall. I'm hoping after lockdown @leeds2592 pulls his finger out and gives me a proper tour of the area, the alcohol kind.

Yeah I agree - I would probably rate the combat in Odyssey as slightly superior but overall Origins is a better game, especially due to the setting, just a huge vast open ancient world that's a lot of fun to explore. I managed to talk a friend into getting an AC game after seeing the trailer...

Anyone into AC? The new trailer for Valhalla dropped yesterday, think it looks tasty. Biased however as I'm a huge AC fan, thought Origins and Odyssey were both ace. They may as well drop the AC title nowadays though as the newer games are a huge stretch away from the original style.

Does Castleford fall into this topic? :LOL: It's a WF post code so I guess not, however I keep seeing a blue 197 along the A6032 next to Millenium Bridge, I'd rather dump them in here than create a new topic! No spoiler, single exit exhaust.

Has there actually been any successful meets since the good ol' Huntsman meets organised by @RenaultVirgin aka VRS lover?

I'm not familiar with ST versions, however a quick search states this is a Performance Edition? It was covered in VUDU stickers too.

Sorry just seen your reply - I'm in West Yorks and TBH there aren't many Honda specialists around these parts. Any easy jobs I have friends that can help me out. I follow VTEC Monkeys on FB, been very tempted at so much aftermarket stuff however I'm trying to refrain as want to keep it OEM as...

Pretty solid from what we've seen, was under it a few times last year and was surprised at how well it looked. Small bits of corrosion at the back below the boot floor, bits of surface rust on the springs too which can easily be replaced. There is a small level of anxiety attached to the car...

Sorry mate, direct neighbours only sadly...did next doors 108 too whilst I was at it :LOL:

Had a bit of an early spring clean over the weekend, also treated myself to a Karcher last week so wanted to clean everything in sight! Replaced the rear Type R badge, old one came off pretty easily after I utilized the Mrs' hairdryer, always get interesting looks from passing neighbours when...

Brand new Puma behind me in traffic today, actually thought it looked pretty smart!

I had quite a few more pictures to post but it hit the limit (because I duplicated everything like an idiot). Here's some more from throughout the year: The recent storm also decided to deface my rear Type R badge too, got a replacement somewhere so that's a job for this week, it was...

Cheers man, fingers crossed for you, enjoying your thread! Isn't @leeds2592 your tea maker? I live 3 doors down from him so I'll have to invite him round to put the kettle on when I clean it this week!

Gearboxes need checking, it was difficult to get it into gear some times however now it's smooth as ever. Check for rust/rot, timing chain as mentioned. Mine makes a horrid crunching noise when starting up some times, this became identified as the 'K20A sneeze' and is actually a normal trait.

Yeah it's actually pretty nice as a daily, smooth as silk, only downside is that this is a non-AC model so summer is a bit of a 'mare.

Come on, you've sold both your Volvos, not just the one, the piggy bank must have at least £2,850 in it now.

Ah cool, I'll check them out! That's on the radar, among other things, I'm not aware of it being done at any stage. Also can anyone tell me how to edit posts on here? I'm looking everywhere for an edit button on my original post as I've mucked up the images.

Hello, Not sure how to describe my history with the forum, or my car history to be honest. I've been on and off here for years after a couple of RS purchases, namely a 172 Cup and a 197. It's been a couple of years since the 197 went but I still frequent the forum, so thought I would at least...

Aye but also because it was arsing it down with rain all day so about 1/4 of the cars actually turned up :LOL:

+1 for Newby. I'm certain it was last years event there were ridiculous queues and wait times for show cars, think I'll just buy a standard ticket again.
