well that time of year again.......the car is fine except i've been worried about the emmissions due to doing an engine conversion about 2 months ago.

would of past first time but for a rusty hole in the floor......garage want 25 quid to weld it up.....not bad i suppose.

mechanic said it was a good little car

no more sleepless nights now worrying about emissions.....they were spot on worrying for nowt

a small fortune.......my local auto factors got them for me,

wossner pistons and con rods were 1800 quid
newman 288 cams were 380 quid
arp bolts were about 90 quid

not cheap i know......but love the power, even with standard management and standard inlet......can't wait to fit the new ones.....vroooooooom
