Re: NEC CLASSIC MOTOR SHOW 14th 15th Nov 2015

I liked the fact that the Sports Register and this club got around petty rules by bringing in the cars they wanted. I felt Halls 1-3 was just corporate tat this year and I did not view it. Also far too many people getting in as a 'Journo' dodge. That needs clamping down. One chap I know full well ba...

G reg GSi spotted in Devon

Friend of mine saw this whilst on his holidays. He had to check it wasn't me stalking him!
He's found the owner and its sadly never going to be for sale.

Re: Early 214 lives on!

25 years ago today someone picked this up from a dealer in Morden and drove it home for the first time! Happy Birthday to the original AROnline 214! https://scontent-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11203249_10155495851340384_949483038302927681_n.jpg?oh=3b37b51ee054552bdac1d221783ce790&oe=...

Re: Early 214 lives on!

I like those! But I understand they aren't to everyone's taste.

As for the show, it was the earliest 214 there by a country mile, the other 3 G reg examples were all Honda engines...

Re: Which things will kill our cars? Common faults?

My 416 GSi had immense issues with the PGM-Fi unit and the next owner ripped it all out and fitted twin carbs from a Civic Shuttle being an H plate there was no cat to worry about! I think the best thing we can do as a club is distribute parts when a car gets broken, too many cars simply get sent to...

Re: Early 214 lives on!

So 5 months and 8000 miles later the car is still running like a dream. I took it to the BL Rally in Peterborough where it stood alongside its J reg brother. Mike and I actually swapped our alloys on the day as he wants to build a 214 'GTi'-esque car and I wanted to see what mine would be like on th...
