Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
I attended the Bromley Pageant of Motoring today, in the company of Clive with his RX-4 and Philip with his RX-3. A huge show, but we we had the only rotaries on display, apart form a silver FD, which joined us on the stand later in the day. Lots of interest from the visitors in our small collection!

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
That is some good progress there bro. I know the feeling of getting those fuel sender screws out! 
hahaha. I think I replaced mine with stainless capheads (less chance of rounding the heads). An accurate gauge is lovely!
The underside also looks mint now too

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
capheads, less chance of rounding? Pull the other one! regular external hex head is better than internal allen drive for stopping rounding. Button heads are the absolute worst as they use a size down allen compared to a parallel cap head.Hobbawobba wrote: ↑Tue Sep 05, 2023 9:03 pm That is some good progress there bro.

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
This was KIMI 3 today, left at local garage, awaiting MOT test :
...and, a couple of hours later....
Clean pass, no advisories
I was hoping for that result, but with a 39 year old car, one can never be sure!

Re: KIMI 3 - 1984 Series 3
Whoa! It's been a while since I posted in this topic 
As reported elsewhere, last weekend I took my car to the Japfest Classic Show at Goodwood. It was great to get this picture of some of our club member's cars together - sadly Tim had departed before we rearranged the cars for the pics below, else it would have been 6 cars in a row! It was great to catch up with other owners and their cars.
The trip down to Goodwod was 3 hours without a stop, in fast motorway and crawling traffic in places. The car was faultless throughout the whole journey down. Same on the way back, but we stopped for a break and a bite to eat.
