Tickman Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 How long before you have a clio?Would have been the weekend just gone had the Auris gone before dome and The Moog 2
dome Posted May 1, 2018 Author Posted May 1, 2018 So, seeing as I did so well with my last Japanese hatchback I thought I'd try another. I was nearly buying two cars after a Celica 190 turned up locally for cheaps, it had gone before I reached it though. It would have been an engine donor for the MR2. This one though... this one is a gamble. Possibly more so than normal for me, we shall see. It is, naturally, broken. I've not actually seen it in the metal yet, A deposit has been sent and a (t)rusted shiter has not only viewed on my behalf but is providing temporary storage til I can get it shifted home by Shiply most likely (Dundee to Dunfermline if anyone can help?) It does not drive. It may never drive again without a lot of money being thrown at it. There is a chance though I can save it without breaking the bank. Lets see. Want a teaser? Here you go... Split_Pin, Jim Bell, aldo135 and 3 others 6

dome Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 5 series? Nope, I'm sticking with Jap hatchbacks for this next one.
Supernaut Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 CTR = Civic Type R. Naturally, if it's from Dundee it'll be utterly fucked. I'm surprised it's not on fire TBH. The Moog and Barry Cade 2
dome Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 Shit, either I'm really predictable or some of you guys have got amazing spotting skills. It is indeed a CTR (I genuinely didn't know what that was) It is not just any CTR (I'm getting down with the kids) It is quite possibly the worst Civic Type R, sorry, CTR in the country. Supernaut and The Moog 2
dome Posted May 2, 2018 Author Posted May 2, 2018 Non starter, timing chain likely slipped. Turns over though so no piston/valve interface. I hope. TADTS... Supernaut and cort16 2
Split_Pin Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Still hip with the Young Team these so should see a decent return on that, imo. dome 1

cort16 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I Need to go and find some vtec memes/gifs for this thread. dome and Supernaut 2

bigfella2 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I thought the roof of a car should be the least rusty part of any car. Well fuck me, I can't wait to see the rest of it then. Well bought!! dome 1
SiC Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Another one for the lingo is ITR - Integra Type-R or Teggy.
cort16 Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 Those spaceship Civic suffer from bad rust around the top of the windscreens I think it was even a recall. One of my pet hates is people calling Sierra Sapphires, Saffies or 75 Connoisseurs Connies. I really shouldn't irritate me but it does. See also any 4x4 being referred to as a JEEP. oldcars, GrumpyCat, HMC and 1 other 4
