I was there too. Agree with Vinny about the organisation or lack of, but it wasn't just an R/T thing, other clubs were not organised or represented properly either. There was some nice cars, but not as many or as varied as two years ago. R8 wise a nice 216gti did it for me being original and in that...

Hi Dave. I've found them in a draw in my toolbox of all places. It's just a single pair of the Mitus hub centric spacers that I have, I'm not sure how thick they are, can measure them at weekend and let you know if you like? They are still wrapped in bubble wrap and have never been used. I don't thi...

Stevo135+

I did have a pair of the Mitus spacers somewhere, it's just finding them I've struggled with TBH lol! Can have another dig around for you though. I don't think the Green Storm needs them? especially as once the coilovers are on it will be sat at least 15mm higher than before. I do have a few wants f...

Stevo135+

I've nothing helpful to add, but Steve I see you've gone back to one of your first car's? The cooper with sportspack sounds cool indeed! I never had a Mini phase, (just liked them a lot). Would have another MG Metro or turbo one day if only that thought was not complete fantasy land due to their non...

Mynheer side skirts?

I'm sure I've seen those on another coupe once too?

This could be nice when done, and the baby blue colour is so different that it's worth saving for that alone, and also to upset the OEM purists.

Hope it all goes well for you and looking forward to the WIP topic.

Hi Alan. Just a question about the OMEX ECU. Does it come with a T16 engine loom ready to plug and play? Also would an Escort cosworth map be useable as a base map to drive to the mappers with and have it set up? I'm not in a rush to buy as I have several other parts priorities, but I'd like to put ...

Stevo135+

I'm sure it's of no help to anyone, but there was a fairly clean white fastback one on the back of a trailer travelling up the M42 on Saturday lol!

I like vitesse sports, I had my first 100mph experience in one while on work experience at longbridge haha!

Stevo135+

While Marty's car is a high performance vehicle that really needs to be owned by someone that is able to show it some respect and also have experience of driving car's preferably of a similar type i.e 4WD and turbocharged, I'd say it's a positively safe car for a your inexperienced driver compared t...

Stevo135+

A very sad but very familiar story for once nice Rover's that many folk on here have seen happen time and time again!
I'd rather let a car rust away on the drive or take it to the crusher myself on a flatbed than sell it to some pond life fool!

Stevo135+

What's the issue exactly?
Are you in an urgent rush for them, or are panicking for some other reason?

I've told Dan to send mine last as I'm in no rush, but I wouldn't be worrying either way! The one's fitted on Ghall's car look really good and very well finished IMO!

Stevo135+

I could be talking the biggest load of danglies deluxe ever, but would either an upper or lower brace bar that would bolt between the upper or lower seatbelt mountings on the coupes be of any benefit to chassis stiffness? If so then I'd like to see these produced.

Stevo135+

That head looked very very nice! There's not many Rover owner's willing to spend out on a proper good spec professionally worked head! Once the suspension is sorted on the Storm, I want to save up enough for a brand new Ball bearing turbo and OMEX ecu and engine loom. Though I have no real interest ...

Stevo135+

Ok, I've spent a fair bit of time since last October working on this project and havn't driven any car's at all this year except an Aygo for a weekend away! :lol: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/stevo1994/DSCF0769_zps4ba5ca27.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u482/stevo1994/DSCF0765_z...

Stevo135+

Hi Dan, hope things are ok with you mate!

1) Carl747 price on fully fitted as am lazy lol
2) Stevo135+ fully assembled with bearings please. (can't ask about fitting as I need to buy coilover's first and some other jobs need doing on the Storm before I can drive it again)

Stevo135+

Nice rare Rover you've got yourself there Greg! Glad your seeing sense with it too! Your coupe is a total fooking stunner and she looks the dogs danglies deluxe! Keep her that way and make the Gti a track slag like it wants to be! It's better for the track than a coupe, and you've put so much time i...

Stevo135+

If your going for GAZ coilovers and brand new, then I would have a set too and maybe anyone else who wants some would, in case of a group buy discount situation occurring. The thing that puts a noob like me off, is I don't know what spec of coilover's to order, which spring rates and if they need to...

Stevo135+

I hope your ok Marty and the dude on the bike too!
Oh and Proper bikes are 2strokes!

Stevo135+

Shame as if this was for sale next year when the Storm is back on the road, I would of had it for a future upgrade. I'm determined one day to return it to OMEX management like it had in a previous life.

Stevo135+

It's a long time owned, pretty much unique one off coupe that's in great condition, with some pretty serious mods too! What's not to like dude? :wink: There's a few beasts around like this, and I personally think they are worth decent money, as they cannot be easily replicated or replaced! I hope Le...

Stevo135+

Whatever people may think, one of the things I would do quickly if I win the lotto, is fund/help to set up a Midlands based R/T garage/workshop place for paying members to store one car each, and have fun stuff like our own dyno, Laser wheel alignment rig, and all the major garage equipment/Ramps to...

Stevo135+

The only thing that you might need to change, is to start locking up that lovely coupe in a dry garage come winter, and actually buy a W@nky rust bucket to rock through winter in!

Stevo135+

It's a great looking car Greg! I'd be so proud of that if I were you! :) I think 11-12psi non modulated, and a nice exhaust and filter on a healthy motor is the future engine wise for T16 turbo cars now! When they do go up in value, people will want close to std car's or ones with very nice tasteful...

Stevo135+

GAZ yes, not so sure on the aftercare service with Avo though from what I read TBH. I'd like a price for GAZ GHA's, but as I understand they want to be made shorter than std to give a good range of travel?

Can you effectively get a discount for a group buy type situation?

Stevo135+

Excellent result there mate, after you have had your fuel pump issues sorted. I'd be very very happy with that sort of power and torque, even if id never even use 1/2 of it for most of the time. It's great seeing over 200ib/ft from 3000 to over 6000rpm, and you have pretty much 250bhp from 4.5k to 6...

Stevo135+

Assuming your talking about an old 1990's Lancia delta? And are you talking an Integrale Evo1/Evo2? Very pricey for the age of the car, and lots of issues with bodywork, corrosion and shell cracking around the A-pillars etc. I'd buy a mint one for new Golf money and still treat it as a project. but ...

Stevo135+

Ring Gaz and ask if they will do a discount for 2sets of shortened GHA coilover's and we'll go 1/2's on them dude!

Stevo135+

A good MR2 turbo, would be surely hard to beat unless you need more space. Being a MR layout they can put down 300bhp+ so easily compared to a ZR turbo or similar. I remember Mark Coupe saying that the MR2 turbo was the only car that was faster than his old MG Maestro turbo once rolling, and almost ...

Stevo135+

Some very nice bays indeed! Drews pic show's however that with no battery there is ample room on the musical KV6 to do a big single turbo install Mazda MX6 style, if you built a similar manifold to Car mad Baker's. Could probably put a water/air charge cooler on top of the motor where Drew's sprinte...

Stevo135+

Listen to Drew's ZS with the lumpy cams and sexual SC whine, and there's your answer and the end of this thread!

Why anyone would butcher a nice creamy smooth KV6 ZS to fit a leaky lump of pig iron in there with an engine note that would make you cry after the music of the V6 is lost on me TBH!

Stevo135+

Hi Greg. I can see both sides to your dilemma, but trying to do what is best to maximise it's future re-sale value will only hurt you in terms of enjoyment, and mean a lack of use too! Loads of people on here will tell you that the clean white coupe I used to have just ended up sat for the best part...

Stevo135+

Please can you show a pic of the GAZ coilover kit? I'm just interested in the condition of them before commiting.

Stevo135+

I gotta agree with Rob, the V8 nasp's and V10's did sound awesome generally. I'm not big into over the last 3-4 seasons, but the new turbo's don't sound too special. I do love a good V6 (more than a V8?), but comparing these new fuel limited cars to the last time V6 flame spitting popping and bangin...

Stevo135+

She looks a lovely example of a late turbo coupe indeed! I wish you GLWS! In your pics I saw the Gaz gold suspension and solid top mounts and until I re-read the thread I didn't realise they were fitted to the car lol! If they'd been for sale as separate additional parts, you'd have found your buyer...

Stevo135+

Hey Ross. That's an excellent bit of work you've done there mate! Really liking the garage build and you will have a nice big dry place for working on your BRM now. Great project and the garden is looking good too! :thumbup: I'm just about to have 70 slabs laid in my garden and a ton or so of gravel...

Stevo135+

So another complete arrogant opinionated handy andy on R/T we have here? Marco your such a nice bloke!

Stef, I hope you find the wheels and brakes you are after for your VVC coupe, and bother anyone that tells you what to do!

Mod's please delete as required!
