just a suggestion, i dont know how old you are madone but...

im currently doing a 16v conversion on my tintop and i was hoping to go the weber 45s route.? after checking it out ive decided against it because of

a) insurance? and? b) serious petrol consumption

whatever u decide make sure u can afford to be insured after the conversion? ;)

im hoping the 16v conversion will be enough for me for a little while,? danhocks mark 1 cab with the conversion was extremely quick.? :D

for my cab the dream is for a G60 engine, supercharged cab has a nice ring to it? ?8)

Can I chat to you over phone about who is doing this work on your car and what was needed to complete your 16v conversion? Pm me details - be most appreicated?
