paulhide	Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:00 pm    Post subject: My figures from March last year totalled 176 16v of all types (including P4s) taxed in the UK, but that may have changed. (There were over 1000 in 2001). I think the figure refferred to is that for the non-cat 16v cloverleaf of which there were 42 taxed last year and 27 declared SORN.

At least I think thats what model it listed

The track day is at Taupo on the new track this time (as opposed to old track or full track). http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12758 They're still looking for entrants - have you got a suitable car amongst your fleet? I've already got a set of 1500 heads and camboxes, but before I can fit them to the black car I need to get the grey car usable (needs timing belts, struts and CV boot). Currently I'm stuck doing a CV boot on my black car, as you'll have seen in the 33 Workshop part of this forum. So I still have only one half-usable car (grey one) and every time I drive it I'm terrified a cambelt will snap.

Hanging the front bumper spacers and the engine compartment struts out ready for POR15 painting : These have had a complete paint strip back to the bare metal - and then soaked in POR15 "Metal Ready" for a day. Look carefully and you can see the white residual - that's the zinc etched coating. Bob

Ben_nz	Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2008 5:13 am    Post subject: I've still got two not-quite-right 33s. Tomorrow I'll be pulling one of the new front struts back out of my black car because it seems to be faulty. That'll mean the better of my two cars is unusable until the strut issue's resolved. My grey car is still running on timing belts of completely unknown age, and it has done nearly 120,000km so I'm scared to drive it much. I've replaced its faulty electric window motor and I'm holding the drivers door catch to the cracked door frame with a little bolt, to allow the door to open and close! I have bought the car a new outer CV boot, and once I've sourced something to use as strut boots, all that'll go in the car together with the black car's old struts. Then I'll try to do the grey car's timing belts, and THEN it'll be the daily driver it's supposed to be while I take the black car off the road to do some engine work. =| The black car has just recently got its WOF again after over $1500 worth of stuff.. Rust repair, all new tyres, rear brake hoses.. I don't need to tell you I could buy another 33 for that much. I've got another track day coming up in April that I've already paid for, and I don't know at this stage which car I'll actually be able to take.
