Pauly Posted 17January, 2014 Report Share Posted 17January, 2014 Hi Steve, Welcome to the forum! Questions like that, you'd post it in the Technical section under what ever fits your car. Air cooled, water cooled, front engine ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you mean unnecessary and pointless modifications that you simply MUST do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 17January, 2014 Report Share Posted 17January, 2014 Welcome Steve, if you want to ask for opinions on cars you are interested in buying check out the market place and values discussion area too. There's a massive thread on cars for sale now, good way of learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted 17January, 2014 Report Share Posted 17January, 2014 A mate used to race a chrome Redline that he had to keep in his bedroom because of its value. He had those mini brake levers, "flight" cranks, all the good gear. I had a lowly Crossrider (with C R cutout of the gusset) but used to enjoy carving it up at a track all the local lads made at "red hill" up the road from our house in Frankston. I was forever pulling it apart and changing colour - the start of tinkering with mechanical things that led to Datsuns then rotaries then a clubman and now Porsches (albeit the tinkering hand son has left me). I once rode that Redline, had a massive OTB on a berm and broke my wrist (he told me afterwards that rear brake was inexplicably on the right side!) Those were the days. Post a link to the forum - looks like a few of us could enjoy reminiscing over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
