Ooooooooooooh! 8)

Looks great. Got any pics of back & driver's side of the engine?
And any reason you didn't go for a reverse direction inlet manifold?

Just new to this so the engineer said every thing had to be standed with all of the pollution gear so ,the reverse inlet had to be put on after all the paper work was out of the way .the panel van in the photo is the next project may be a starlet motor with hair drier attached.will be asking BRAD for a few clues on that soon .thanks for the comments go the MINI ............................................................tgmini.....................................

very very nice :) - would be very hard to let the wife drive it all the time - I bet she won't be parking it last in the drive "oh, sorry dear, I'm gonna take your car cos I'm in a hurry and I'd have to move it to get my car..." excellent brownie points though

2 questions for you

1/ what had to be done to the speedo to run off the suzuki speedo drive? re-calibration? adapter box?

2/ what brakes are you running?
