Verysleepyboy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Just be careful with roll cages - check what you are buying meets the specification requirements for the race series carefully before committing to one. A lot of the bolt in cages won't meet the necessary SFI/FIA regs for competition - and different race series/governing bodies will have different requirements. motorpunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorpunk Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Any shiters near Milton Keynes on Saturday morning 9th March? We’re fitting new brakes, PAS pipes, and giving the car a once over. Any help would be massively appreciated. Free coffee and doughnuts. It’s at a proper garage on ramps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QR code is a generic image I nicked off the net! It’ll be a link to a webpage which would then explain the history of the car and it’s famous previous owner and what we’re doing, as the sight of this rolling on American roads will undoubtedly create questions! 👍🏼 HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 About five hours ago I was overtaken by a speeding 620i near Bristol. It looked ace. motorpunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobloseven Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Saw a 620 the other day with some stickers on it, and the boot lid held shut with 2 galvanised gate bolts! Thought of this project! motorpunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkwheel Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Radical and unpopular suggestion, leave it as it was when he actually drove it. Put a nice sheet laminated poster in the window with all the info for when its parked up, job done. I mean, why would you want it to look different to when he actually drove it?

Conan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I've been following Lemons for a long time and I agree that this thing is something the judges would say the car itself is a theme. It's a car never sold in the US from a defunct brand not known for reliability and with interesting background. It doesn't really need a theme, although having one could only elevates it further, of course. They keep banging on about the best theme being something that only one person in the paddock would get, so IMHO 1 and 3 is too obvious, I'd go with 2.

Bit of an edit from me in the quote. Who here knows who Slim Borgudd was? Who in America would know? I think that’s pretty obscure enough myself. 😎 Thanks for the comments all.

Angrydicky Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Nice. Same year and interior as mine (mines the sporty 130bhp Si model). All pretty standard issues they all suffer with there. PAS leak will be the oil cooler behind the bumper. Mines on its second set now. Pipes from contemporary Honda Accord are much beefier and I liberated a near perfect set from a scrapyard a while ago which I’m keeping for when mine starts leaking again. I had to repair one arch on mine, I spent ages getting it just right but it did need work behind the sill cover too. Strangely the other side was perfect. They are absolutely brilliant, completely underrated and very rare cars nowadays. I find mine very comfortable to drive and faultlessly reliable. Another vote for keeping it original, covering it with tat would totally spoil it imo. Shite Ron, Matty and motorpunk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cheapness (buttons came off stereo and went up hoover whilst cleaning, slats fell out of grill). But the ride, the way it drove, lovely thing. If a standard one was that good, an Si yours or the holy grail Ti like @fatharris I would imagine to be a nice place to be. fatharris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
