I think the RF84 looks quite nice compared with the RF82/83 - with the big mouth at the front! Where have all the RF84's gone anyway ???

A friend of mine had an 84, whih he couldn;t sell for a year (it seems no one wanted one). It was for nothing, about 3500-4000 + engine!
In the ned he got bored and basically dismatled it and sold off - Wheels (6-70 a set?), Bold Engine (1500 ish), MK9 (1000?) and that was pretty much it. I think he has the chassis in his garden. I don;t know about anyone else but no way could I take a chassis to the tip! |

Sounds expensive, perhaps why he couldn't sell? RF85/86's go for £4,500 to £5,000 in decent condition - full runners. A friend has just bought an 86 for £3K, supposed to be decent but I haven't seen it yet. RF85/86's are much more desirable

What are you talking about Dave? 85/86s are gorgeous! Agree with you on Reynard though.
Mike, thats an 86 though - great car. 84s are sh!t - apparently anyway! |

Ever driven one Justin!?!? or set one up ,or changed the stupid clutch seals or tried to move the gearstick so that you can change gear with one hand or - oooh dont get me started! They quite obviously work but they are sh!t.

I had an 89 and it was **** like all the things you describe dhart. I eventually raced it without a clutch as it was such a pain in the arse. Rev the ******** off it and smash it into first gear and hold on. I recall frightening a marshall stupid in the pitlane at Cadwell with it at a restart after a certain Dave Hart put his yellow car into the wall on the original first lap.
Mind you, the bloke I sold it to won the Combe Class B Championship with it so it must have just been well sorted when I got ****ed off and sold it! Last edited by JohnMiller; 19 Nov 2003 at 15:14. |

On the subject of gear sticks, did it ever occur to anyone @ VD that the hump in the bodywork round the gearstick on a 90/91/92 is too big! Bigfoot wouldn't fill that!

Do I take it you like Historic Formula Fords then [good spelling by the way] Is your favourite meal Historic Formula Ford, chips and mushy peas? Just about every thread on here has you piping up with the HFF words. |

Aw Dave, I must be double jointed! (Sorry for the late reply!) I haven't had any more trouble changing gear than normal(?)
If you want a car that's difficult to set up, have a look at the Quests! Re clutch seals, I was recommended to use silicon fluid and haven't had any trouble with seals since. |
