Yes. When its cold it blows blue smoke, which then dies down once its warm. But when its warm its a cnut to start. In the last 12 months its had nearly £4000 spent on it. Sadly, the previous owner was some sort of chopper and didn't know anything about them and just used it as a normal car...

f**k me!! Its at a grand already! :S

Well thats just confirmed what colour i'm painting my valver! :D

This is my business partners car, nothing to do with me!! Will be a cheap car for someone. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-MAZDA-RX-8-231-PS-GREY-SPARES-REPAIR-/270891730319?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f1267c58f

I've got a 231 RX8 you can have cheap. Needs the tips on the rotor replaced. (Thats what mazda diagnosed it as)

Inferno wasn't £1000, it was £250, standard metallic colour option. And its a crap car.

6 owners (!!) Declared written off 25th August 2011. Category C Insurance loss. There is a list of when it was HPI'd.... Interesting as somebody HPI'd it 2 days ago. (9th jan 2012) I'll pm you the certificate as I don't know how to post it up on here.

Right, i've got the work computer. HPI coming up (pm me your email addy and i'll send you the certificate)

Pm Tom on here. He lives there and is always organising meets.

Jon, i've got a bare ph-1 engine (that IS in perfect working order) I don't mind doing you a bit of a deal on it if it helps you out.

I'd rather eat the money. What are you planning on doing to that??

Ok, here's a question for you. I spilt about an egg cup full of dirty oil tonight on our nice clean floor. I mopped it up best I could and then sprayed it with brake cleaner, and the floor was like brand new. Where has the dirt gone? The brake cleaner evaporates, but where's the dirt gone...

^^ Is that the same as electrical contact cleaner? Scoobynet recomended I used that on my Classic and it worked for about a week. In the end I put the filter in the dishwasher, fitted a new maf and had 3000 trouble free miles! lol.

What car? Because none of that happens on a clio. On a subaru, its the oil on the cone filters that stick to the hair like wire in the MAF sensor causing tiny particles of dirt to stick, causing it to fcuk up.

That garage is giving me a hardon!! Amazing size!

I've got a heater matrix if you need one... But my bet is on the drainage hole under the front scuttle panel.

I'm going for a tommy tank....

Front fog lights are not mot-able.

I've currently got 3 ST170's and I love them. Compared to the 172/182 I prefer the space, I prefer the noise, I prefer the handling and I much prefer the driving position. But I agree it needs an extra bit of grunt to warrant the less than average fuel consumption and high road tax.

knight rider, pm me the reg. I'll do this one free of charge.

The last Cat C I got tucked up with couldn't be taxed as the post office wouldn't do it. They scanned the barcode on the green slip and it came up as logbook invalid. This is all proper wierd.

When was the car written off then?

Woah woah woah, you were driving a car with no VIC?? So no tax, no mot and effectively no insurance??

Either delete that post or edit it.

I've had funnier turds.

HT lead has probably broken and there's bits left on the plug. You'll need a pair of very long nose pliers.

I've got some nice flame red ph2 side strips for sale that would look good on that....

SO it is!

Without meaning to sound like a dick, how do you know it cost £17 in fuel? Was it completely empty, you put £17 in it, drove to Brum and back and it ran out at the end of your driveway??

It was the case though. Yours was the 182 with 8 7/8 owners wasn't it? I don't keep stock like that, I trade it on. So I would have sold it to another garage for about £25/2600. To drive to scotland and back for zero profit is stupid. If it was a car that I was keeping for myself, then I'd...
