    My new car

    hi

    My names Ben from Leicester and ive just bought a VR4 with no MOT for £1000. I took it for mot today and it failed on a windscreen which has now been replaced. It also failed on no rear fog light which has been knocked off. It needs a bit of a touch up but my mate does paint for a living so it should look tidy again by the weekend. I go to the jap events so hopefully will see some of you when you have stands.







    It has a sticker in the rear window so im guessing the last owner was a member of this forum.

    Cheers

    Ben

    I don't recognise it either. You got it at a good price though, as long as it all works

    ive got over £4000 in reciepts over the past 2 years. It drives really nice but has a bit of a hesitation so hopefully a service will cure it. Its had a brand new transfer box fitted too. Does anyone here have a pair of roof bars for it?

    Cheers

    P911 BUB.... Who the hell was that then? The only member I know with a plate ending like that had a manual, and AFAIK still has it.

    Anyway, welcome - and yes, 1K is a steal!!

    Thanks John

    Do you know were i can get roof bars from? The guy who sold me it told me the stepper contoller on the throttle was at its maximum adjustment, i will look into this further but if it is on its way out how much do you think it would cost for the part.

    Thanks for the help

    ..... Nice looking car you got there, and what a price!!!!

    Glad you payed attention to the sticker in the back, you have found the right club to be with.

    We also have a large stand at Japfest next month if you fancy popping by.

    Dunno if you are interested in meeting a couple of us on Saturday, but there will be a mini meet at Donington Park if you are interested.

    Hiya!

    Welcome to the club.

    There is a set of roofbars that frequently crops up on Ebay.

    Thought the number rang a bell - think I saw this car when Earl came to visit the UK - Wirdy (not his) reckons there are a few around. THREAD HERE - it's a short one!

    V is better because it implies a facelift car, and they are much better than prefacelift P plates
