Quote from: RayMark,

LSD\'s were not standard on any UK first gen\'s, are you sure you have an LSD in yours?

Ray
Pretty sure it is, i had a auto box on it so it may be a import?

No UK cars had an LSD, only the GSL model in Japan or the states.  I know cos I had an LSD from a GSL fitted to my \'85 series 3.  By the way, I\'d suggest you drive one of these 1st gens before you buy one - the steering is CRAP.  I don\'t beleive that a single owner would not replace it for a decent rack conversion if one existed.  I\'m still trying to find someone willing to do the conversion for me.

I liked my Elford Turbo and if I were to get another 1st gen I\'d keep my eye out for another Elford.

Oh, and Don Pamponi is right - the steering is crap. But you get used to that.

I beg to differ about the steering probs,..........all the 1st Gens I have owned have handled superbly :cool  Even ol \'rusty\' handles like a dream....almost to the point where I fall asleep on the freeway\'s.:cheers

Just got home my my new daily and they are very cool cars, handling is very good even on original bushs. The steering has play in it but thats half the fun !

Compaired to the series 3 landrover (1970\'s) my stepdad owns the steering is fantastic, it wouldn\'t ever want to go in a straightline. Its a case of getting use to it. Bit fun overtaking traffic !

Quote from: GrizzlyUrm.... My First gen Plans may have been put on hold, i\'ve just seen an Rx2 three door thats on its way over :) its not mad expencive ither which is a Pleasent suprise. But oviously i\'ve not seen it so we wait and see what its like.

Ahh well guess i\'ll be buying a oil burner as an every day car ;)

An RX-2 three door, must be extremely rare!:p :rollin

I\'ve never had a problem with the 1st gen steering either. One of my cars had some play but I just adjusted the steering box and all was good again. Putting big wheels on will affect handling though - tram tracking, etc

Tell us more about the rx2 that is on its way over??? over from where? Really curious.
 I had a series 3 fb ni oz and it came standard with 4 wheel disc brakes and an auto. Such a beautifull little car to drive for fun or just to the shops. Wish I had gone down that route instead of a car half made from wood!!!!!
 cheers, michael.
