😍 memories!

Yeah I've been saying that for the last few years but new additions to the family and changes in jobs has meant I've done f**k all tonight in about 2 years 😞

Here’s mine how

I brought her and how she sits now. Still plenty work to do.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Mk1's there's always plenty to do

 

[16V F7R]

Older cars full stop but I love em! There is some spanking Mark 1’s on here! I need to pull my finger out...

I've been trawling through some old memory sticks and found loads of my old Valver photos. Here's just a few, old digital cameras were shite!

I sold it around 2007-8 to a lad in here called Andy, I think he was from Leamington Spa

 

[Nafoff]

Dam I wish I never sold mine....

 

[Coops Mk1]

@Nafoff didn't the next owner immediately crash it too iirc?

Matt Turner (Zmaster2k as he was known) was the new owner. A tree fell on it whilst he was driving it.

I was pretty gutted, i put so much time into that car, it was spotless

 

[Zmaster2k]

😔 Took Me nearly a month to tell Neil. I was f**king gutted.

Tree was rotton as f**k too, sued the landowner and settled out of court.

Litterally couldn't make it up, driving down the road following another car and BANG suddenly we ain't moving. Car was fucked.

Car was f**king immaculate

I'm still gutted to this day.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Bloody Turner

 

[ayli carper]

Bought it for £2K, sold it for £7.5K. Lost £15K. Loved (very nearly) every minute in between.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Took the Maracana's off the odyssey so they could go onto the correct car

OE exterior and delete the rear wiper is perfect. Oh and the fact it’s an absolute beast underneath 👍👍

 

[Bluebeard]

Do any of you Mk1 owners know of a rear anti roll bar??

Nothing on the market for them, I run a modified mk2 whiteline with custom brackets that a mate made up for me years ago but not entirely convinced it does anything as the torsion style rear I think doesn't compliment the whiteline.

Jury still out

I thought as much. I need better suspension. It’s great fun as it is but I’ve got new, better, tyres going on it tomorrow and I predict my trackday on the 26th will leave me wanting more from the car after that upgrade.

was stabbing in the dark that a RARB kit will cure my issues but I’ll have to bite the bullet and get a new set up.

currently looking at Avo Race spec, and Gaz Golds. Any input on those Coops?? Also speaking to Cooksport tomorrow about an AST offering.

Did you take the engine out at a track day??

 

[RichValver]

Paddy logic 🤦

 

[16v_paddy]

I usually only ever lurk in General Chat so this is the 1st time I've seen this thread 😬

Red one was mine at the time this pic was taken and now the Tungsten Grey is mine

Also got a Williams that I'm a million years into it's restoration

Ignore the white shed, it was a donor car for my track car

And the track car, started like this

Sandblasted

Skip a few years of financial stupidity & zero f***s about the consequences.....et voila!

 

[16v_paddy]

On

Did you take the engine out at a track day??

Only took the head off to see if I had destroyed the shiny expensive forged high comp bottom end or not, luckily it was just a destroyed cylinder head, subframe mounted engine so was really quick & easy to whip the head off

 

[Coops Mk1]

Any vids??

Yeah got a few, I'll dig them off the go pro in a few weeks when I get a minute 😎

 

[16V F7R]

I don’t think you could have asked for better conditions up Donno on Sunday really? Nice and cool and dry.
