Hi everyone.

I've had my HR now for about 5 years, it's been a great car and a pleasure to own, sadly I think that it is time for it to go before it just rusts away. It's been sitting under my carport now for 12 months and I just can't get motivated to fix up the few things that are wrong with it. So I'm just seeing if there is any interest in either the whole car or some of the parts.

Cheers

Can you post up some pics of the exterior and interior?

There isn't much left of the interior, I stripped it all out because it was in pretty bad shape when I got it, all that is left is the door trims, dash and centre console.

As for the exterior it's not the best looking either, the paint is all faded and the clear is flaking off in places, not much rust except for the bottoms of the front panels and in the boot.

I'll post some photo's up as soon as I can find my camera.

Is it a KHR or an HR30?

Some of the KHR's had a beaut optional speaker enclosure on the back ledge & I would be interested in these if you had them.

And the rear parcel shelf if in reasonable condition, that is required in Queensland, by another old fart on this forum.

Same as picture.

Hey Ghost

Sorry I can't help you out, there really isn't any parts of the interior that are worth salvaging, It's sort of been the main reason why the project has been on hold for so long, I haven't been able to find any decent interior parts.

I'm still in 2 minds of whether or not to actually wreck this car, since coming onto this forum I'm sort of getting my heart back for the old girl.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
