Ok well I guess this has run its course, it looks like it would be a fairly close run thing, neither of us are exactly formula 1 drivers so I doubt there would be much in it there. As I say it's entirely theoretical anyway, neither of us fancy loosing their licences for the sake of a street...

Thats a bit uncalled for surely ? The original question was written in a mature and entirely theoretical way, it's just a topic of conversation, if you've got nothing interesting to add then please dont. :)

Good point, I would say his car is in average condition at best, the body work is ok as it had a respray at some point but the engine defintaely sounds rough, I even remember him moaning about some sort of engine rattle a while back, not sure what came of it, still goes so I assume it's ok...

What a beauty, love the flamers. A rare standard 1 too, fantastic :)

LOL Yeah, considering they are Plastic!

Ugh lol. Any Pics of the rear ?

I figured it would be a close call to be honest, having been in his car it doesnt really feel all that quick to me but it difficult to say, the power delivery seems very smooth so you dont feel like your being thrown back in the seat with acceleration or anything but I guess it does clock up the...

They're such good fun arent they ! It's great to be able to swap between the 2 cars as they are so much fun in very different ways, best of both world's maybe :)

Having been inspired by DrRollo's thread a few pages back I thought I'd take some quick snaps of mine and the Missus' cars. Nothing fancy but it was a nice day so why not. Photography skills arent the best I know, the MX5 is a 1.8i and imported from New Zealand believe it or not, full UK...

A good friend of mine at work has had a 1983 911 SC 3.0ltr now for as long as I can remember, we were having a a bit of petrolhead banter today and I was saying how my modern french box would eat his classic Porsche for brekky :D Joking apart I'm interested how I actually would stack up...

Sounds like a shot Dephaser pulley to me ? If it's low down tho I dunno.

Yeah good ta, now Fred's hooked me up with a new PAS pump and belts ! Glad your all sorted too :)

I personally like my Leather/Alcantara interior, Xenon Headlights and Climate control so the choice was easy for me.

Std Size is 195/45/16. Which ones are debatable, everyone will have a different opinion, I have Toyo Proxes T1-R's on mine, they're relatively cheap and perform more then sufficiently.

Looks familiar lol, both cars looking great btw. The missus' has a Red P-plate MK1 MX-5 and I have a black Ph2 172 :p

Did you manage to sort that problem out @ Fred's the other day Lora ? Si :)

Oh and @ 19k on a 54 plate get the belts changed asap if they havnt been already.

Nice find, do you know what the damage was like ?

'orrid cars imo.

Back to Standard, I know exactly what you mean about it wearing a bit thin. Much more useable with back seats and looks nice and tidy again. You can always take them out again if you do a trackday etc.

Could possibly be one of the Aux Belt Pulleys knackered thats whirring away ? Does sound PAS related tho. Get both checked out.

Williams 3 aint a true Williams in my book. Wrong colour no plaque etc. So 182 or find a nice Original Williams.

I paid £3500 for my 52 plate Black 172, it had 60k and FSH. So anything around £3000-3500 I guess is reasonable if its been looked after.

Pretty much yep.

Doubtful of any BHP gains whatsoever tbh, definately improved drivability and lower down torque tho..

Hi mate, yep definately on the original Pulleys, not to worry tho booked in with Fred now so should all be sorted soon :)

Holy F**k !

FRS for me.

Ouch, it's only really sensible to change the whole lot now IMO. God knows what damage has been done to the belt.

That's Henk's certificate not Fred's lol. www.fastchip.nl
