Galant EA3A is for daily use (soon gonna be for sale). VR4 needs some more attention, and gonna be fully serviced in March/April by me.


miller: Poland is a strange and "funny" country, i.e. you are not allowed to register in Poland ANY RHD car. That means, there are only three EC5W in Poland in driveable condition and already converted to LHD (mainly homemade conversion by fanatics of VR4) - none in Warsaw, just Lublin, Kielce, and one is still in conversion in Wroclaw. So there's only 4 EC5w, and none EC5A. Conversion RHD to LHD is fully recorded on that polish forum. Nearly forgot, there are 2 or 3 Galants E8xx (older version of VR4), but don't know any details.
Fiat... well...no comments. Pretty sure you mean 126. But there are as well quite lot of Galants EAxx and older E5xx.

Hello and /Welcome

Fancy a bit of track action in May? Seeing as you will have service your car by then, it seems only fair to try it out. Click my signature for details...

Enjoy the car and your stay here!

Hi Mate.
Witamy w Klubie ("welcome to the club" in english)
Coming down to Castle Combe to Japfest in May by any chance?

[swinks]

Miło zobaczyc starych znajomych (Nice to hear from old friens). Ok, that was last in Polish, sorry.
Well, I'm going to attend Japfest in May, but still don't know if got any days of A/L from my employer. Need wait till March (new rotas). So, in that case I gonna buy only tickets for one day. No stand or track. Not bothered really 'cos I'm not trully mad on racing. Just to meet people, that's good enough :-))

[elnevio]

So, in that case I gonna buy only tickets for one day. No stand or track.
Japfest is only one day anyway - the Saturday. And the stand space is free for the first 30 members to buy tickets. A few people are staying over in the hotel on the Friday night as well as Saturday night. Might as well have the stand space, as long as you're in by 9am, that's when the gates open to the public, and the club has access from 7am. Hope that helps!

[swinks]

So, it seems I'm going. Can't buy tickets or stand right now (still not sure my rotas in May), so all left till March. Don't think if any stands remain till March :evilgrin:

[Nevman]

Swinks, you don't really need a day off to go to Japfet, do you?
Get the tickets and the stand will be reserved 4 U.
Don't know if I take my car on the track yet, but I'm very tempted.
I need to upgrade the brakes to EBC and new rear tires to even think about it.
Cause I got new job, I may be able to do that but it's still too early to decide.

[swinks]

Sorry, but need one day off to reserve. Working on weekly/monthly rotas, full week. Last full off-weekend I had in November. Even worked on X-mas, so you know...
Most important is to get my VR4 ready for May. Just like said, service, and rear wheel bearing, and few less important but time consumig issues (i.e. clock, alloys, front bumper). Just need a time.

[Nevman]

Bugger... Hope you'll manage to get there.
In terms of servicing, you can go to Eurospec 2000.
Just had the service done there:

and it is not too far from you. I live about 90 miles from them but I don't regret any minute and any penny spent. They really know that our cars likes to be looked after and they know how to do it.

Hi Swinks ..

Welcome to the Club :)

So that brings the total upto 3 VR's in Peterborough and maybe 2 others. 1 i know of a couple of years ago but don't know if it's staill around .. And 1 i saw this morning ?

Hope you enjoy your ownership and your stay here at CVR4 :pimp2:

[swinks]

Guess, yours is that the silver Leggy I saw few times around Werrington and ASDA car park?
And several times spotted black Leggy after facelift (2000) around Stanground/Fletton or was it just Galant Avance EA5W ? It was too far to exactly spot the VR4 badge.
So far, mine is grounded till March and I'm more focused on selling my silver EA3A.

Continental Drift might not be quick..

But a force far greater than most anything else on earth :inquisiti

And talking of Force ! Thats why it's named "Darth" :pimp2:
