Re: Sunroof or not - 2.2S

It did not leave the factory with a sunroof, and you will be replacing the roof anyway, then I vote no sunroof. They are a pain and add little to our cars in this climate only trouble.

Re: P1 v 918 v La F

6:11 is the time to beat . Rothmans 956 driven by Stefan Bellof in 1983 . And IIRC he did an even longer lap. I do wonder what time the 918 would do if it had a V10 engine and no KERS?

Re: HID Headlights for 2.4S 1972

Thanks for your suggestions. MOT is not an issue for me as my car being over 30yrs old and living in Ireland is exempt an MOT.

What about rear lights, particularly side and indicators ?

HID Headlights for 2.4S 1972

My 2.4S is being restored presently and one thing I want to improve is lighting. I'm not 100% concerned with keeping it that standard as I will need good lighting front and back and I live in a rural area. My idea is to use NOS Bosch head light units that I have for the front and fit some sort of HI...

Re: How about a Honda CB750-4

An Army mate of mine had a 1972 or 3 Honda 750/ 4 in 1975. What am I missing, his was mass produced. One thing I like about forums is one learns things like this !

Re: The £110k 2.4S

Re: URGENT HELP AND ADVICE NEEDED.GOT RIPPED OFF

Hi Madness,

Sorry to hear this, pity THIS guy does not know what us Munster Irish are really like. Sorry for his sake, I'd say he will be crucified at the end of it. Scammer beware, I wonder how he can even sleep tonight.
