@ Lisnagry - your 400 looks fantastic! Do you compete in it at all?

@ quenching - the pic above could come from a sales brochure - is the colour smoke silver?

My Manta 400RT

All I can say is Wow!! That looks like it should be doing 00 before a rally!

Pic is actually from 2 or 3 years but fortunately car looks just as good now (or it would if I gave it a wash 'n' wax).

took a few funky pics aswell for the craic

jozi · 24-12-2009 4:26pm

Lovely wheels! Nice to see cars being enjoyed in the snow. Only bit of snow/ice related action I've had is getting her sideways turning onto my road. No snow here in Dublin

mamakevf · 24-12-2009 5:51pm

Great pics, great car, lovely wheels and the red rear plate, many people seem to shy away from the red plate for some reason, but I love them, gives the car a proper Irish look :cool:

My '75 Fulvia 1.3

carchaeologist · 28-12-2009 5:58pm

Nice!I like

Kevin_Herron · 28-12-2009 6:15pm

Cracking little cars those Fulvias.
Lancia really produced some excellent machinery from the 30's up to the 60's.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, 1982 Audi 100 5E

Hifive · 31-12-2009 10:26pm

Nice, it looks very clean.
They were a really classy machine in their day and still look fresh now.
Any other details, + a pic or two of the inside would be great.
Mark.

Jees!! my brother and his friends bought an 100 about 15 years ago, 1983 for messing about in a field and it had the 2144cc 5 cylinder engine in it. I took a shine to that car myself. It had the quirky econ gauge and had two warning lights for when the engine was up to temp, and for overheating.The drive was knocking in it and it finally fell off eventually, so that was the end of that. Nice car indeed:)

Thanks for the comments

Its had 1 owner from new with 116k with full service history and its in excellent condition. I had it inspected and the only fault he could find was a small tear on the passenger seat! Its mechanically 100!% and no rust which is a miracle considering most have rusted away.
I'll post more pics when I bring it home, its being detailed at the moment.

If anyone knows of other 100's/200's for sale PM me.

Some really nice cars on this page !

I LOVE the Manta, and anyone who stood on a rally stage in the late 80's early 90's cant help but have respect for one of these. What motor is in it ??

@ Quenching...........didn't you just buy that 190E? Why for sale ?

I saw a nice red Fulvia 3 in Clontarf about 2 weeks ago...........very pretty cars !

This is my baby and 1980 924 n/a Lux in a very dark brown with the pascha interior.

LIGHTNING you got your fuel lines sorted then! All you need now is to get your password back to your old boards.ie account.

(Looks great, btw)

Re changing the gearbox oil - is that with a view to loosening up the shift? I find mine tough going until the oil heats up, and have wondered if there's something (relatively) simple I could do to improve things.

And are you 'biding your time' before you get around to VRT her?

Look forward to seeing it at a Boards (or 924) get-together!

I was going to do the fuel lines myself but I am going to get my mate to do it. I am going to drain the gearbox oil as I dont know when it was done and hopefully to preserve the life of the box. Are you having trouble with 1st and 2nd when the gearbox is cold? Its common to all the audi gearboxs that are used in the 924 so I wouldnt worry about it. But if its excessive then a oil change would make a difference.

Yeah, first and second are always a struggle for a few shifts. Might consider a change at some point. Oddly I used to drive an Audi 80 that I always remember for it's super smooth shift... they must have sorted it by '89.

I am waiting for her to turn that magic 30 before I VRT her, I am in no big rush only a few months before that happens. When I do I will give her a good clean, polish and wax.

A wise move!

Wasnt the Audi 80 a FWD drive car? So the gearbox was right beside the engine unlike our 924`s. Ill dont mind the stiff shifting because we have nearly 50/50 weight distrubition in our 924`s

Explains a bit alright!

No gearbox is behind engine in an Audi 80,engine is very far forward look how far the struts are from the front of the engine
