Apologies, I still have the phase 1 (rust scrapper) and 2 (big end issues), even the diesel conversion (the written off one) fires up with out problem, but I have changed jobs,and have been forced to using a van - actually two - for the past eight months. If only I could have found a BX on the aucti...

Have you got a friend with a car trailer ?

Both fronts though ?

I would never do is drive with bald(ing) tyres, it is a deffo tug, and the insurance company will be the first to walk away if you have a knock.

Welcome to the budget supercar arena, Top Gear should have a spot each week on this type of vehicle.

The only place that could potentially limit the use of older cars is London as the mayor can pretty much do what he wants with the 'congestion charge'. Adrian :D He is very clever in manipulating minions, claiming that London needs cleaning up, but maximises the number of commuters are locked into ...

Yeah, two wheels I see. Next she will want a Honda Blackbird

hi there, sounds a good plan. i was thinking of doing similar with my 16v as it had a fair bit o rust but couldn't find a decent body/chassis donor at the time to convert it to 16v. im cutting out rust and weldin mine back up. :D but you should do it as it could make a very tidy 16v.turbo. :twisted...

I am sure the space between the important bits on mine is clear, Surely a two pieces of angled iron, bolted together in the centre, would do the same (if not better)

Running a direct feed for the main and dipped beams from the battery, and using the wiring that is in the loom to power two relays that enable the direct feed when the headlight switch is used.

How clean is the fluid in the reservior ?

(and is it LHM ?)

Anything can be overcome (as long as you dont find out you have 6 reverse gears and one forward)

Unfortunately it is lame camera work, but then have you put the relay mod in the headlight circuit ?

Car lights only illuminate when Essex girls have finished, so I've heard.

Phwoar!

Porting and putting the larger valves in the 16V head will release a lot more power, but the cost undoubtedly be prohibitive.

If you want to scream the nuts off an 8 valver, beware of the possible issues with higher reciprocating mass (unless you have Desmodronic gear fitted).
