Sorry mate to hear your news It's a constant battle on the rot front and left too long it will come back and bite you.

What are your plans now - in the market for another coupe?

Any one ever find one of these to make templates from?

just fitted new oil Cooler.

Its 1/3 bigger than original 16VT, ACC. to Setrab , Its rated for 170-230 bhp.
I mounted it with side outlets for best flow ( oil gets everywhere And utilise whole Cooler) and best air pocket prevention.











Now I have to make sufficient ducting to this Cooler and can't continue with exhaust - i want to rework connections to Vband

Hi Pete - I'd also be interested

I'm just about to change over to E85 based on the fact there are several 20vt running it here in France. One fella has been on it for the last 10 years using the car as a daily without any ethanol related issues - obviously after a remap.

In the UK I would use it as an opportunity to change to more modern EV14 injectors (especially if your injectors are original and bit "iffy" and the lack of OEM spares) and then remap. Its an opportunity!!!

We have news from AutoItalia magazine of some meeting planned this year.

AutoItalia will be held at Brooklands on Sunday 18th July.

If all goes well, most Covid restrictions will be over by then so It looks like the first big meeting in the south of England in 2021.

So I can liase with Phil Ward about our numbers attending and getting suitable space for our coupes please add your name to the list below.

Do you reckon hitting the cones will make it a Cat A write-off?

So after speaking with Rog last week, I worked out the car was owned by someone called Lloyd (Basildoncope) who used to post on here years ago before he sold it to Kyle who I bought it off.

@Trappy you may remember it from local Essex meet up's years ago?

You won't fix the powder coat, not without recoating. So yes it is a pro job. But if there's only some small marks you can touch with paint. The powder coat used should've had a RAL code (colour identification). If you know that you can get a paint the same colour.

If you don't know the exact colour, don't worry. You can get generic alloy silver touch ups that IMO can look quite good. But another avenue to explore - nail varnish. Loads of colours and as the bottle is clear you can see what the exact colour is. Just remember the clean and degrease before you apply any paint for maximum longevity
