[quote="porschemad911"]Well, it's been a busy week for my 33. The Sunday before last I got home and there was oil everywhere (it was also a bit hot). I took it to the local garage, and they put in cam seals, crank seals, sump plug seals, a water pump and all new cooling system hoses. Oh and did the timing belts. For a day, all was well. Then the distributor sort of disintegrated on the way home from work. Then the NRMA came, then a tow truck, then I was out in the freezing cold trying to get a cab home. Haha, not much fun! So, Bella's back in the shop getting fixed again. Haha, it's times like these that I wish I owned a trusty little 3 cylinder Daihatsu! (I used to have one ... they're great fun). Perhaps it's because it's only done 10,000 km per year of a very coddled life and I'm driving it a little harder than it's used to. Plus, I guess once they hit 200,000 km most cars will start to have a few issues.[/quote]

My figures from March last year totalled 176 16v of all types (including P4s) taxed in the UK, but that may have changed. (There were over 1000 in 2001). I think the figure refferred to is that for the non-cat 16v cloverleaf of which there were 42 taxed last year and 27 declared SORN.

Just thought id remark that the site still seems very active, especially given that according to Practical Classics (who get their info from the DVLA), there are only 40 33 16v cloverleafs left taxd + motd in the uk.
At least I think thats what model it listed

Ben, where is the trackday in April? 1500 heads and camboxes on trademe $50 if you are looking for the black car.
The track day is at Taupo on the new track this time (as opposed to old track or full track).
http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12758
They're still looking for entrants - have you got a suitable car amongst your fleet?
I've already got a set of 1500 heads and camboxes, but before I can fit them to the black car I need to get the grey car usable (needs timing belts, struts and CV boot). Currently I'm stuck doing a CV boot on my black car, as you'll have seen in the 33 Workshop part of this forum.
So I still have only one half-usable car (grey one) and every time I drive it I'm terrified a cambelt will snap.

Progress, progress! Hanging the front bumper spacers and the engine compartment struts out ready for POR15 painting :
These have had a complete paint strip back to the bare metal - and then soaked in POR15 "Metal Ready" for a day. Look carefully and you can see the white residual - that's the zinc etched coating.

Hi
Having gone to the effort of digging out a graph of the number of posts per month I have now knocked up a page for the site showing this on a graph, but generated on the fly.

All the best

I've still got two not-quite-right 33s.
Tomorrow I'll be pulling one of the new front struts back out of my black car because it seems to be faulty. That'll mean the better of my two cars is unusable until the strut issue's resolved.
My grey car is still running on timing belts of completely unknown age, and it has done nearly 120,000km so I'm scared to drive it much. I've replaced its faulty electric window motor and I'm holding the drivers door catch to the cracked door frame with a little bolt, to allow the door to open and close! I have bought the car a new outer CV boot, and once I've sourced something to use as strut boots, all that'll go in the car together with the black car's old struts. Then I'll try to do the grey car's timing belts, and THEN it'll be the daily driver it's supposed to be while I take the black car off the road to do some engine work. =|
The black car has just recently got its WOF again after over $1500 worth of stuff.. Rust repair, all new tyres, rear brake hoses.. I don't need to tell you I could buy another 33 for that much.
I've got another track day coming up in April that I've already paid for, and I don't know at this stage which car I'll actually be able to take.
