yeah maybye

but the granny makes an ideal crap hauler with the tow bar on the back

[Dave]

Yeah they are good for towing I must admit.
You notice that the mpg only drops about 2 miles when towing, now that's a good tow car.

Hey just out of interest whats the most you seen on the speedo?

[rallyslag]

yeah iv noticed the mpg isnt all that different when towing

still bloody awefull when your not tho lol

seen 160 on the speedo then it started making a really loud vibration (like driving on rumble strips) so i slowed down

[Dave]

Hmm well I was going to put a video up for you to guess what has been done to the car for it to do 160 mph on the speedo  
But it sounds like it's not that impressive  Only seen 150 mph before down abit of a hill.

Does yours pull straight upto 160 or does it struggle abit?

Will have to re-record the vid to see if I can get 170 out of it  

& before anyone says it I know we are not really going that quick

[nick]

thats not a run around! thats a FUN around!!!!

[rallyslag]

gonna be breaking it soon gearbox is on its way out  


how much to 24v lumps go for?

[Tony]

colin
i would expect at least £250 for a "conversion kit" , that is down pipes, lambda's ecu loom edis 6 coil pack AFM,,,

dont forget the dif is also a good unit to sell, front brakes and antiroll bars, all sell well!!!

mind the leathers have little value now as so many have been broken!

the one i have so far has cost me nothing now selling all the spare bits,, i got the engine/box etc for free!

[Dave]

If the bodywork is still good people still pay good money for the old girls but if not then as Tony says.
