Hey guys. Time for me to ask lots of questions again.

1. Does anyone have a rough idea on what it costs to get a subframe sandblasted and powder coated??

2. In terms of performance/driveablitiy, is there any difference from an 80's rover A+ 998 engine to a 70s clubby 998 engine??

3. Is there more leg space under the steering wheel in a rover than a clubman or are they the same??

cheers

boink!

1. It cost me bout $100 to get the subframe powdercoated and blasted and what not........

2. unsure but the only difference is how it would be built...... (imo)

3.nah they should be the same but again not very helpful on that one either........

I can only help with question number 2 , as far as I know the 80's a+ were built to polution control standards so they are considerably choked up . To the point if you look at the English sales brochures they were using 1275 engines later to get the same horsepower figure they originally got with a 998 . Nothing a good head and cam wouldn't fix though , and I don't mean a wild one , just improved a bit . An Aussie pre-polution 202 head would be good .
