Re: RIP Steve - you'll be greatly missed
I’m very rarely on here these days, but I just heard this very sad news from Murf and wanted to login again to leave a message. Although I never met Steve, we were both active members on here for a good few years and sometimes chatted on MSN Messenger. He was a very helpful guy with vast knowledge o...

Re: creaky clutch/cable
Hi Rachel
Does it happen all the time, or only happen when cold/hot? Really obvious, but have you tried locating the squeek (as Jim said), then applying a little 3in1 oil? Could be an easy 1 minute fix?

Re: 6x9's in the boot - and fotos to show construction ...
Just wondered, did the infinity's run of the head unit instead of the rear door 13cm speakers or are they running of their own amp? As this thread is 5 years old I'm not holding my breath here ;-) ... and breathe!! :lol: They ran off their own amp! You are always going to get a much better sound wh...

Yeah, i know what your saying, its a shame, but real its the real world.
I've never had to trailer a car before. Anyone know someone with a trailer who could get this from Arbroth to Glasgow?rogue wrote:However, it does not drive at the moment so would have to be trailered.

Re: Celebration 327/480 for Sale (SCOTLAND)
Please don't scrap it. Give me a shout if it really comes to that stage! I'm thinking of venturing back into 480 ownership, but was hoping to put it off until March, but i'd hate to see a Celeb go on the heap or be split.

Re: 480 Turbo lowering
If you lower a 480, your always going to be trading off less body roll with reduced comfort! If you don't want to loose comfort, don't lower the car. If you do lower it, budget to up-rate the shocks at the same time, as old standard shocks will die very quickly on lowered springs. I thought the hand...
