The footwell covers - Carbon fibre?

Do you cut out the floor pan & seal those in?

Also what arches you got? The fibreglass wideboy ones?

Jimbo, was that a 'no' to Matt's question about the floor covers being carbon?

Very nice btw.

They haven't got those coil over kits for the same price for Series 2 Orion hatchback XR3i Turbo Nutter Bastards have they?

Preferably in Koni or Bilstein or Leda.

Have fun with them. Oh wait, you never drive your car anywhere so it doesn't matter that the engine will barely run

Until you try turning the car on on a cold day only to find that the jets have frozen. Or the constant adjustment. Or the.... Jr, I thought better of you, EFI was invented for a reason. You are just too old skool

ed, there is a couple of flaws with your last post

1) cold days - he's never ever going to start it on a cold day
2) constant adjustment - it wont be worth setting it up for the time it spends on the road, might as well just bolt them on and put up with it running a bit rich
