Sorry it's a keeper I really need to pull my finger out. Owned it since 2008. If you ever change your mind 😉 Theres a few out there for pennies but if its a common thing, understandable, the other option is a merc clk from the 2000s the old lap cars, love the clk look if a clk gt was on the table mmm 🤤 Edited April 25, 2023 by Redback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redback Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 My old ride before moving to uk, miss her was lots of fun and kept up with cars way out of its league. Upped the boost she really did pull, otherwise pretty much stockish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wolfie1 Posted April 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2023 So i got Rexy out of the workshop yesterday as my of my mates popped round and i needed to have look at his Discovery over the pit, it was annoying me that it was getting covered in dust in the workshop so i have ordered 1 of those stretchy car covers, so when that arrives i will give Rexy a wash and dry and put it back in the workshop and put the cover over it so it doesnt get scratched as it was concerning me especially as i got it Graphene coated last year, this was the first time it was outside since September last year, i missed looking at it outside and i am still smitten after all the years i have owned it 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totlxtc Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Love the RX7 so much. Only thing put me off was the rotor blade replacement. Meanwhile…i am not one for personalised number plates. Think they are a bit too show offy…but…for the Clio… tempted… 🤔 Edited April 30, 2023 by totlxtc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wolfie1 Posted May 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2023 So my cover arrived, got Rexy washed and all put away in the workshop again, i had my doubts as to wether it was the right kinda cover, but its perfect 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PraetoR Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) For those interested in the development of my old 190E 2.5-16, I've been frantically putting-in the weekends. Most of the work has not been cosmetic. However, the highlights include: - ditching those horrible alloys for some gorgeous, period-correct wheels. - ditching the horrible grill for the right one. - swapping back to orange indicators and side repeaters. - custom stainless exhaust system (sounds glorious!). - swapping springs to get the ride height sorted (still going to add 5mm, all-round). - full service. - coolant flush and change. - Greenstuffs performance air filter (panel). - interior work and fixes. - undoing the previous owner's sound system mess... and basically everything else they've done! Although I initially had buyer's remorse, I've fallen in love with it, not going to lie. Next major thing on the list is to have the damaged bodykit and bumper repaired, which includes having them painted body-coloured. Before and after (so far)...

totlxtc Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 So with a distinct lack of RC action in my life at the moment and funds at an all time low...I was SOOO bored at the weekend.
