It might be easier for me to drop the stuff off cos I\'m not sure I\'d get the spoiler in with the wheels! I don\'t know when I\'ll next be going though cos she\'s coming up north this month sometime but saying that I don\'t think she\'d be up for putting the wheels in her car, she\'s got one of them new jags "x something!" :rolleyes:
I could always give her the spoiler and if someone wants to collect it she lives just off the a27 in slindon then I could bring the wheels with me to rotorstock unless there\'s anything on sooner.

Whatever\'s easiest for you! I\'m good to wait or good to pick up from your parents place, eithers good!

Any idea what the rubber\'s like on the set of TII rims? Reckon it would be safe to drive around on? Just summing up how soon I need to factor in wrapping in new tyres for the rex to be decent enough on the road to go driving around with.

Hi Lacey,
Yours is looking really nice there, was driving a customer EGI today and forgot how good they are.
Is that an ally bonnet from a Cabriolet Lacey?
There is a real resurgance of the 2nd gens now,especially with JDM imports.
They are re-growing on me too!
Regards
Carl

Hehe thanks! Still wayyyyyyyyy far from finished or even anywhere near how I want it, planning on restoring the entire red interior to it\'s former glory and having it fully sprayed white, to give the delicious white / red contrast I\'ve always loved.

And nah it\'s the standard coupe steel one, so weighs about 3 times what the rest of the chassis does! lol

Just trying to get mine tidied up and fairly close to stock as possible for now, get everything back the way it should be before I start fiddling around with anything power wise.

After that it\'s porting time!

I know two tyres are good for MOT but the two steerers are quite feathered on the edge from what i remember.
Let me know if you need anything else, ive got bits of egi everywhere, rotor an eccentric shaft on the kitchen windowsill shed full to the roof with body parts, fuel tank, exhaust (t2 catback) and my garage has the engine in bits with shiney housings taking centre stage!  :p

What\'s the next show in your diary? Im sure we can sort something out before rotorstock in august. :Thumbs-up

[Lacey]

Next show I\'m definitely going to is Rotorstock, not planning on going to anything sooner this year, lack of funds, and I\'m antisocial like that. :p Nah but seriously, I wasn\'t planning on going to anything much or major until Rotorstock, if you go to something not too far you could always pop over before/after for a bit of compensatory money and a brew, possibly a bit of cake as well?

2 tyres being MOT worth should be fine, got 2x TII rims on there already with legal rubber, 2 more would be good

Parts I\'m actually desperately looking for (but aren\'t essential right now) are;

EGI front half of exhaust in header, everything between the engine and the cat, mines going to fail the MOT for blowing epically badly.

Possibly drivers side door, mines been levered around to get broken into and I\'m not sure how much it\'ll be to replace.

Drivers and passengers side door trims.

Spoiler (already mentioned).

Dont suppose you have a full set of barrels? i.e. both doors, boot, glovebox and ignition with keys? Highly doubt it but worth an ask! lol

Any chance you have some red interior parts? Another long shot but worth an ask.

Already got a nice aftermarket stainless catback with two nice big cans on that burble quite nicely. Incredibly loud if I do say so!

Possibly a not burnt out sunroof motor.

Erm... Those are all the obvious things that spring to mind that could actually do with being replaced at some point in the not too distant future

Aside from that stuff I can think of I\'ll basically I\'ll have anything that\'s going lol! I\'m cheap like that lol

Most important things I WANT to replace for MOT purposes is the cat-engine exhaust piece (must be EGI not TII) and 2 more wheels with legal rubber. The rest is less important to me currently as it isn\'t impacting the safety or legality of the car.

Feel free to PM me or contact me however / whenever if you think you\'re going to be around, I purposely don\'t have much of a life so I\'m hardly ever doing much ^_^

Edit:

Oh, and flash-to-pass lenses are something I don\'t have, also I\'m on the lookout for j-spec S5 rear light clusters (pair), the circular lights rather than the standard uk-spec segmented ones, same as the ones on the Cab\'s.

[Lacey]

Er, I mean UK spec S5 rear lights (round ones) since the jspec ones are longer and wont fit my back plate, unless its a full jspec rear lights and central midsection as well.

[no_boingers]

if someone wants to collect it she lives just off the a27 in slindon

Errr, I live 1.5 miles away from Slindon!  Small world innit?  

I\'m just down the road from Chichester (as is Brett, for that matter).

Maybe we should have a regional meeting in Chi?

@Lacey
My g/f lives in Epsom so if any parts need transporting Sussex -> Surrey I might be able to help. :Thumbs-up

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Tis a small world! peter wolds lives just a few miles away from me in hornsea.

Was thinking about your exhaust needs and maybe someone has a set of headers they no longer need or rx7club for sale section always has some interesting stuff...seem to be alot more egi\'s and red interior\'s in the us of a.

Can\'t help with the lights im afraid but do have spare ftp lenses, not great condition, the glossy laquer has peeled off but they are restorable if thats a word!!

I have a good door but 90% sure it\'s the passenger side, i\'ll check.

I could have helped you with the locks but my gf asked (made me!) to remove the scrap from the driveway! sadly went with the ignition and boot locks, amongst other stuff that i should have saved. :mad:

So i\'ll be able to get the spoiler, gear knob, ftp lenses to my mums by the end of the month then i\'ll be able to fit the wheels in with me for r8 in august.

hehe i\'ve no life either and lovin it! just been lazin around watching some classic f1 races on bbc red button, qualifying next! :cool

Regional meeting would be cool, somewhere mid-way for everybody! Not sure when / if I can come at the minute, kind of in and out of the house lately and once the insurance on the civics up at the end of the month I\'m without a car until it\'s sold and pays the insurance on the RX!

No worries on the bits you don\'t have, just thought I\'d mention on the off-chance ^_^

Arse on the locks, but oh well, once again worth a shot! Trying not to buy a brand new set of all 4 as I think I;ll have a heart attack at the quote!!

Thanks for checking on the door

Oh! If it\'s a passenger side EGI door, can I maybe pretty please steal the side trim from it? My drivers door needs replacing, and my passenger door is fine but has no trim on, so lets in the rain through the holes! Rubbish! lol

Thanks for the bits and pieces you have got though, I really appreciate it!!

If the wheels are a problem and you only want to make one trip, just bring the two that are in better condition, and I\'ll pick the other two up from you at RS8, if there\'s room for the spoiler, 2 wheels, 4 center caps and bits & bobs?

Thank you so much for your hunting! What\'s your ale of choice? ^_^

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Forgot to mention the door trims in my last post, again i\'ll have to check but i think one is in quite bad condition with rust bubbling under the plastic.

My mums driving up next weekend so i\'ll get the two good wheels all four trims, gear knob, spoiler and window trim if it\'s the good one couriered back with her that\'ll be easier than fitting four wheels in the rex! plus you get the bits you need sooner.

Don\'t worry about gettting me anything, it\'s reward enough knowing i can help another rex especially a lady fc owner! :InLove

Hehe thank you! But I;d still like you to get something out of it, other than seeing a rex at RS8 that\'s about 10 different shades of gray, with black and red body parts. :rollin

What window trim? Did I ask for something I;ve forgotten about? It\'s the strip down the side of the door I;m lacking one of



That bit, also this is the reason I;m probably looking to replace the drivers door.



Oh and the trim on that door sucks too >_>

Where abouts are your parents? PM me an address if you don\'t want to mention it publicly, just so I can gauge how much fuel I need, will come in the Civic before it\'s off the road at the end of the month, which has no pass seat so I can fit me chair in it, will be plenty big enough! After all I managed to fit a whole bumper, 2 wheels, a sunroof, and 3 boxes of stuff, along with an assortment of \'stuff\' in it on the way back from Brett\'s, without even opening the boot! ^_^

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Oh I thought you were talking about the window trim! Yeah do have the door trim piece, I\'ll do my best to remove it without breaking it.

If that\'s the only damage on the door it might be worth fixing it. One of my spare doors is rotten along the bottom where the two or three skins meet, the seam is totally gone, was quoted £200 to fix a few years ago. If yours isnt rusty may be worthwhile gettin the filler out.

I\'ll pm you the addy.

[Lacey]

It looks like the door is from a completely different car, but yeah the trim I was looking for is the actual long strip that clips into the side of the passengers door. Not sure if drivers / passengers door trims are different or if they\'re both exactly the same, but the T-II ones are slightly different on each side from what I remember, but to be fair with the state of the drivers door one peeling off, replacing both would probably be an idea

That\'s all that seems wrong with the door, just seems like a lot of work working out the massive bent bit in the side and all the tiny little chips and dents and stuff all the way down the side, but will see what I can do about it

[1990_fc3s_t2]

Some pics...
problem with the tyres, the two good ones are different sizes, one is 225 50 16 and the other is 205 50 16.













The ftp lenses are in pretty poor condition, one\'s cracked at the bottom.





I\'ll dig the door out this afternoon and get the trim off. :Thumbs-up
