CIH Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Check out this from ebay Link Right up my street. Looks absolutly gash (interior especially) but I don't care. It'd be perfect as a track shed with minimal interior. I'll start with the "best" picture: Doesn't look too bad here 'tad rich for CAT-D though.

Tony Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 How goes the car?...... I set another 5 today to our fast road setup and on test i had all four tyres screaming for mercy and the chassis still held on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Haven't bothered. The ebay car transpiried was an import and I don't feel like dealing with the issues that come from an import. The local one is still there but it rained allday on my day Tuesday just gone. Got a full weekend off so fingers crossed I'll get a good look.

Janey Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Haven't bothered. The ebay car transpiried was an import and I don't feel like dealing with the issues that come from an import. The ebay one (above) was a bargain !! Theres no hassles with them on import (in fact you get more for your money) the only thing is you won't have previous service history prior to import, its been damaged & repaired but still a great bargain at under 1K The local one is still there but it rained allday on my day Tuesday just gone. Got a full weekend off so fingers crossed I'll get a good look. Good luck with the hunt - any link or pics to the local one ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 No. The zxoc peeps think it's a rot-box and the guy hasn't responded to my questions about the usual rot-spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 "yes welding to sills and one tower but good little car" hmmm..... Having some dinner then I'm go look at that MX5 near me. Finally got some nice weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Got off my butt and took a look. Turned out to be an '89 Roadster. Sat on inoffensive but unremarkable Momo Arrows. So I has a quick poke around. Couple of dings, new roof, reasonable tyres, arhces look fine, bit 'o rust on the sills under the Roadster sill plates. Nothing too bad. oh dear gets worse left well alone ofcourse. 'think I'll have to consider imports if I'm gonna get one worth having though.

Tony Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yep i see that very often with the imports....... It's only cosmetic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yep i see that very often with the imports....... It's only cosmetic!!! dude, you jest ? Anyway, hold the phone! Now this is my kind of car. It has E30 BMW style semi-trailing arms at the rear with no factory adjustment. Can adjustment be introduced in the aftermarket stylee ? He;s stated he wants £1k, which is quite alot for one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I nay jest The Nissan looks like a maybe then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've asked around the Nissan community to see what the situation is regarding wether the suspension can be adjusted (either factory or aftermarket bits). Building in adjustment with aftermarket stuff is something I'm keen to expand into but if nothing is avaliable I may have to leave it be.

Tony Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Camber kits are available and i'm sure the rear toe is adjustable so all you need is to find a castor adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Skint one too, probably. This is promising:- Link UK model, little bit untidy and high-ish miles. Middlesex. Not too far from WIM is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like that... mileage is irrelevant once the belts done, plus your in the trade to what the hell. As for the location.... no idea?, i'm directionally illiterate everyone knows that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
