Re: That awful colour MGB GT

Decent telescopic kits on the front are expensive. I'd go lever arms. Do you have a MGB car part retailer near you? When I got a replacement lever arm unit from my local Moss, they were quite happy for me to check it didn't have any massive amounts of play in. Well the first one did, so I sent them ...

Re: Reliable Honda Engine: a spectral fleet thread

Mx5s are bloody A* cars. If I had the room, I would always have one on the fleet. Superb fun to drive, really easy to repair, look great, feel great and cheap to buy & run. Fuck having an Invacar spec one though, unless I had a disability which meant I couldn't shift gears. The MX5 manual gearbo...

Re: What did you do today?

300 miles racked up this week in the Prelude so gave it a treat via the local Eastern European Vehicle Wash Emporium. I'm in a bit of a dilemna with it though as I'm going to be doing 300 miles a week for the foreseeable due to a new job, so tempted to get something else for better MPG'S, as the 4 ...

Re: Reliable Honda Engine: a spectral fleet thread

Not sure why you'd want a cheap XJ40 when the XJ6 is a very similar car really and still at the bargain end of the spectrum. What happened to the forum bike red one that I had? N118 MFV - was it Eddie Honda who owns it ATM?

Re: '69 Seat 1500 Funebre (and other lonely hearse's)

I guess you are within 50 miles of me, as this came up on my general Classic Car within 50 miles eBay search.

Re: That awful colour MGB GT

Those track rod ends are a good example looking on Moss. Two options, OE: https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/track-rod-end-gsj168.html?assoc=112467 Aftermarket: https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/track-rod-end-aftermarket-gsj168z.html?assoc=112468 I guess if you only do 250 miles a year in your MGB and take a...

Re: That awful colour MGB GT

Where were those track rod ends from? I've mostly shopped between Moss/Midland Sport Classics/eBay sellers. Some stuff has been identical between retailers, others different. Generally I've found Midland Sport Classics stuff that is different, to be a bit cheaper but a fair bit crappier in quality. ...

Where is it? Is it in the Bath and West showground? (that is an hour's drive from Bristol and Bath...!)

Re: That 1972 Austin 1100

Got these brackets finished tonight. Cut a new top piece out to fix my mistake and made a mirror version of the bracket this time. The other side I chose the one that came out better. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190621/ff6e3fccbb23e1431d106a9546f3f061.jpg Then got on with welding it together....

Those Ioniqs seem to be becoming very popular with the cabbies around Bristol. Is that 75.6mpg on petrol?
