Is an unusal setup, fair play though.  funny how the car has done 160k and the engine 250k!!! obviously a strong engine but i wouldnt have wanted to chance it!

Is it high pressure or low pressure T? Low pressure T's  are pretty lame but High pressure is a bit more like it.



Has anyone seen that green mk1 with the 2ltr vtec in it? was a feature car a while back iirc.
