Should just add that being one of the last ones, mine's only had the fluctuating fast-idle issue. Hardly fatal, but embarrassing and a new valve fixed it.

Oh, and four Halford's body washers on the tops of the rear dampers, to stop it 'knocking' on road tits.

 

that CRX looks really clean!!

 

Need rice lights (or a white stick) for night use:

 

The first crx i owned had 160k on the clock and was still sweet.(well untill a drink driving woman crashed into it)

 

what about a 360D? i thoughtthe idea ofa 2nd car was supposed to be cheap torun??

 

Broken record I know, but you should get a Primera GT. Dirt cheap, 4-seat hatchback so loads of room, 150bhp high revving engine, cam chain like a certain other car, double wishbone suspension, also like a certain other car, and takes any abuse and never goes wrong ever (believe me I've tried). There's a reason Primeras were a favourite of taxi drivers.

Also handles better than an Exige*.

This is much better condition than mine:

By comparison Civics and the like are way overpriced.



*Okay so that's a lie, but it is very good for what it is.

 

Ta, Ikobo

Tom / Dave,

2 good shouts there! I forgot about such things. A beater should be cheap to run in my view, and a CRX would be. 1.6 remember

Primera should be a good car I guess.

306 D is a car I have always liked actually. Handle very well from the couple i've been in.

Off to hunt the web...

 

306 d is ok if you can find one without shot electrics.

usually what fails is:

alarm,
immobilizer
central locking and the electric windows.

also the heat exchanger goes frquently as well and that is a 10 hour book job as its buried behind the dash.

 

True, I appear to have forgotten it is French

Back to jap stuff then!

 

I surprised your not looking at import subaru wrx turbo wagons you know your stuff on them and im sure some of them can be picked up in that price range...
