General Car Chat / Re: Hello John got (getting) a new motor.

How long will you have to wait?

According to the documents  estimated delivery is 30th September 2022.......but may be later.

So about four and a half months if all goes well. Apparently the car is being made /assembled in Mexico. I do hope my car is not being thrown together a a lazy Mexican fast asleep under a sombrero for most of the day.

 Are you saying your pocket rocket, is not being built in "das Reich" some sweaty Mexican drug mule is building Our lord's next, panty dropper

Car prizes have gone crazy, Nissan Skylines are going for upto £100K Lotus Carltons have been offered at £120K

You need to think in 30+ year cycles, the people buying those at them prices were 18-20 year olds, they are now 50+ and have the money to buy their dream cars,
The question is what's going to be worth the money in 30-40 years from now.. It won't be anything with a battery in..It will be the Performance versions,from the manufacturers, GR Toyota, the Big AMGs, BMW,,M, etc and of course Signums.

I think it's nearly correct to cast a bame person as a DR, just look at the majority who work in the NHS, mainly foreigners,or persons of colour,

General Car Chat / Re: Project anyone?

« on: 07 May 2022, 17:18:16 »

Opel Manta?  or Ford Capri?                 

Maybe this 2.0S Capri is a better comparison than the 2.8i? 

Apart from the price that is! 

 £14k for the Manta   hope it's had new chassis rails.

 Not a barn-find because I know it's been there for 20years.,. It's got owl poo and mouse poo, so it's a proper barn find

Omega General Help / Re: Recommended brand for X30XE head gasket set

« on: 07 May 2022, 09:56:20 »

I used Elring on mine. They were still good when I sold the cars several years later.


I would have no problems with Payen or Reinz, although I tend not to worry about brands.


So why did I choose the Elring head set? Easy, it was £12.50 off Ebay


Don't forget to buy a new set of head bolts.

 I just reused the old ones.
