Nice, but it's got a bit of a saggy bum.......
Ideal project for a wide-arch conversion ;)

Like that , would keep as is thou as nice standard ish ones are getting rare :)

Completely agree

I keep looking at standard Type R's. Now is the time to buy as they are going up in price.

It's standard apart from BC coilovers , Brembos all round , 18" alloys and fully undersealed not a big fan of the front splitter so that will have to go so hopefully a deal will be done next weekend and ready for collection in January then the fun can begin , I know someone wants the splitter so I'm willing to help once I get a new one .

That's the standard version 3 splitter

as I hope do P1's:-D

Keep it original (including the splitter) I would just adjust the BC's to a decent height to help it handle a little better (with a decent geo of course) which would also make it sit/look a bit better.
The v3/v4 Type R I would say are like the holy grail of classic ownership in my mind, If you can find a tidy one.

Dave this on is a very tidy one that's why I want it bud .

Aye, it looks tidy.. don't change it!;)

If you do make it very subtle! they are only going up in value now. right up there on my fav scoob list.:mrgreen::drive:

There will be a change called a 2.1 stroker lol .

very subtle! hehe :)

Its working out cheaper to buy this and put the 2.1 stroker in this than to do it in my terzo .

Looks nice Scott being the v3 there a bit rarer I think!! The original and best!!

I know Jonny I've been looking at this one for the last few months while doing bits to the Terzo then the guy put it up for sale and I texted him straight away .

Glad to hear!!

I've got a funny feeling I will be doing to projects .

Personally I wouldn't do a thing to it.

If it is as clean and tidy in the metal I'd do a "project" of refreshing it and wait for it to appreciate.

Seem to recall saying something very similar about your Terzo! :lol:

I know getting carried away with it lol .

Especially if you have the only UK registered R :wink:

So that will be your one then Nick ?

Comments like that require a special "smug smilie"! :lol:

I think I will listen everyone and keep it standard , engine keep standard but add a bit of colour to the engine bay and buy a set revolution millennium alloys to fit over the brembos I think that should do it .

Wow, that comment sounds like you've made your mind up then? :nod: Do it, do it.

:agreed: it's already bought I reckon:norty:

:10: :doubleup:

Yes made up my mind a week ago I've told him I will give him his asking price that's one way to make sure no one else buys it all mine:doubleup:

Nice one :more:

2 and bit long months to wait then hopefully it will be in garage gathering dust .

Roll on next Saturday .

picking it up earlier?

Looks clean & tidy 8-)

Nope have a good look at it , take it for a test drive and pay the deposit .:drive:

Good lad. Then you can pop down a few hundred miles to show me.. :lol:

I will be popping down once I've bought it but a trip to wales first to pick up all the parts that I need to drop off to Locky at Hydroteck for dipping .:drive::drive::drive:

mines almost ready for you ;)

Big day for me tomorrow cant wait let you all know how I get on when I get back tomorrow night .

Have a good look under both the rear arches, up inside the turret on the inside. That's where the normal rust gets 2 doors.

And get some more photos! :ok:

Got camera on charge ready and taking my trolley jack with me as always for the old good look underneath and inner arches .

Well?

Got some bad news sold the Terzo to a breakers and the good news is deposit put down on the type r now looking forward to the day I pick it up .:drive::drive::drive:

Sweet. I miss my Type R, best car I've ever owned

The King is dead. Long live the King!

Glad the R was worthy. Makes the bad news more pallatable.

Nice one Mate. Love type R' s and especially in white.

Still wish I'd kept my Type R, was so much fun to drive

My wee bro just picked up and RA with the short ration box - quick car, it's flies down the back roads and seems to stick to the tarmac like a limpet
