on the orig subject, unless you really have an easy outlet for all the parts and space to store them for the next 6 months andn a trailer to go wei8gh the shell in with, I wouldn't break the clio. either sell it complete as tidy non runner, maybe £300? or just spend the dough and have a nice car to ...

Roundabouts are great and acceleration is pretty awesome, but A to B on real roads anything modern will trounce it simply beacuse they stay attached to the ground! The engine note is fantastic and feels like it'll pull a house down, the grin factor is great just a shame I'd go deaf!! good job its ba...

I didn't say totally flat :lol: Just older and lower in pressure than when they started! what I'm now confused by is what does the springing? I was allways under the impression it was a combination of the gas compressing in conjunction with the shape of the diaphragm. the logic being that if the pre...

This all depends on what youre going to use the car for and where! the racers will have one preference for smooth tracks and others will have different choices for traction on the road! I personally find that having some suspension movement is usefull on real roads :lol: The best handling one I pers...

Very nice might be stretching it bit! but I had thought about leaving the look exactly as is, complete with diesel dribble down the side!! in reality though I only need one spare car and I still need to finish that extension :lol: so It'll stay standard for now and slowly morph as I have the time. i...

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m132/ocj10/IMG_1379.jpg 19RD- looks like it hasn't been cleaned for about 10 years which is coincidentally as long as my friend has owned it! I've been servicing it from time to time so as he is now into end game of cancer he thought of me which was very good of h...

Its great, that feeling when an old un embaresses a new one!!
last outing for the old grey shed was running a car shell to the weighbridge and on the way back had a modern van on my bum through the lanes, it was nice to blow him into the dust with a car trailer on the back

I have one for sale, has good engine, hydraulics etc just cosmetically a bit tired. the reason I can't sell it in Uk is that its been written off in its life so some insurance won't cover it. However that probally wouldn't be a difficulty in moldova as an import! and its cheap £500 being about right...

Remember its a shell I want not spec! I can have as much electricall crap out of mine when the time comes! I just don't want to weld up a sunroof!! and I rather not have to tear out the ABS for something to do......

is it on ebay yet?

Its a NO! but if you do find one without a sunroof I'd be very interested!

Wasn't planning on breaking it, just turning it into a 16v to keep. Don't want a sunroof - they leak, and are noisier at speed. BX ABS is crap anyway and I learnt to drive on non ABS BX which have better pedal feel and it all weights something for no gain! oddly enough I like rear windows because yo...

Is it a sunroof one? and does it have rear electric windows and ABS?

If its non sunroof its a definate yes! and no ABS would be bonus!
could be a very quick way to get a CAT B 16v reshelled! and you're quite close to Birmingham in the grand scheme of things!

definately had a grille and scuttle, may have a short bonnet but will need to check

So in essence some numpty who we don't know writes some crap on a peice of paper we never see and thats that with no appeals procedure - great - what it is to live in Britain!

Oh well I'll carry on as I am then! and maybe add John onto the notor trade policy!

Its been on a motor trade policy most of the time but has been insured by friends normally at least twice since!! maybe their insurance just never checked! more importantly the CAt B is obviously wrong so how can we have it changed? do the data base people have any procedure? and if so what? At the ...
