Sorry your having a bad time of it mate, Did you not check it over properly when you bought it ?, I appreciate it's difficult to spot some of these problems though :cry:

Stick with it because their great little cars when their working well, But not very fast in standard trim I'm afraid, But once youve sorted it and can run 1 bar + its a completely different animal :thumbsup: :lol: :lol: .

I bought Marts old R Rob, test drive was spot on, (he let me and this other guy take it out on our own, you wouldnt do that if there was anything to hide) even took someone who knows about these cars and he thought it was great. Marts a geniun bloke, but ive just been unlucky really. It had been standing for a while, so that wouldnt help I guess. I had a good 100mile drive in it today tho, feels very very solid. People say, you fix it, someone else will get it with no probs and get all the enjoyment, and that is true.

December 2000, been off the road for the last 11 months as the reverse gear spring went (ahem a few months before I stopped driving it), the clutch master cylinder seal went and I bought an Evo. But it's being ressurected this weekend :) it's now back on the driveway, been washed. Starting to take the gearbox casing off today and then the GF wants it ;)

I'm on my 3rd R now, wish I'd never sold my Ivory one though. I'll learn to love this bitch though I'm sure. 370 bhp is certainly entertaining.

Hi,

voted earlier, one white one, (362bhp), on the road 2 years+, and one black being rebuilt, (330bhp to be varified).

Major sarcasm, saw your old one at bolney, the new one I hear has a nice colour coded bonnet now,

Regards

Nigel
 
My old Ivory one was at the Pod recently, aparently doing 1.8-2.0 bar on standard engine with no mapping to speak of :shock: Apparently, matey 'reset' the S-AFC II and removed the S-ITC after his younger sister ****ed with it and he didn't know how to put it back where it was.

I have a feeling that it might not last that long :lol: It's already had a rebuild since I sold it. Shame really, that car was absolutely mint, mechanically and bodywork-wise.

I've ditched the flat bonnet on my new one, yes. Not too keen. I happen to like the look of the GTi-R standard bonnet. I've hand-sprayed the new bonnet in leiu of a complete respray at some point :p The old flat bonnet already has a new home ;)
