The MOTs being clean as they are is absurd. Worst thing is there's a couple up on facebook for over twice the price and thrice as fucked, the prices people put up for 4g/5g civics are getting absolutely stupid now.

Oh yeah, they're 1500 all day now 😕 Shame as I wouldn't mind another. 5g/EGs are flat out delusuionally expensive, and 6gs are VTEC money for shagged 1.4is.

Kawasaki was also desperate to win the 200 race. and they did it, and if the road was long enough it was faster than the busa. Game on. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254796515724 Full power unmolested version looking like £1500. No one else is likely to bid in anger, experience tells me that they are hard to sell in the summer. Hop on and make over there over here £1650 / 214mph = £13 per mph. They never did 214mph, about 190 was the top end, whatever lies the speedo told, they were also crap compared to the 'busa, I had both and blasted across Europe several times on them and didn't really like either of them to be honest, although the Kawasaki was comfier, still they are very cheap these days.

With an akpokavic and a set up with Tim blakemore and I’d respectfully disagree about which is quicker. The 12r used to beat my mates busa on the way to, around and back from the ring. oooooooo it’s like the early 2000s again. The journos never really sorted it out either. 😁😂 Big heavy buses all of them, I agree. Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I generally avoid anything with a crash 'box. Honestly as I explained in the comments thread, even double declutching wasn't avoiding the dreaded the soft crunch. I've had to double declutch my knackered Morris Minor gearbox since 2015 so sadly well versed in the process. Horrible box, lovely car. Completely ruined what I thought was a dream car.

Previous owner Chris didn't have any problem The only gearchange that's actually visible in your video you clearly make no attempt to double-declutch so you can't be surprised by all the comments pointing this out. The footage of you going through the gears with the engine off is painful to watch - sheer brute force trying to hammer the lever into position! Cars like this need a bit of delicacy and patience. The whole point of a Panhard is that you should be able to change gears with just the tips of your fingers and the lightest possible touch.

Jerzy Woking Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yet another public holiday today so went out for a ride, and found a garage selling shite that I could actually look at! Had 4 UK plated 1980's Yank cars for sale between €8000 and €12000, but just looked like run of the mill sedans. Sorry, photos i took didn't come out. Two Brit reg taxis, the R plate one €7000, the other €9000 (could easily go into the ebay Bargains thread) Nice little Fiat that didnt look full of wob up for €4500, but it does have a flat front tyre. No idea if that's a good price or not. They had a few more 80's cars in the (locked up) showroom including a UK G plated Rolls. and a couple of Alfas. Will definitely be back here soon for a proper look round. Burnside, LightBulbFun, Shite Ron and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
