I think that if you have a pre 90 spec dash it's more problematic due to the hazard light being on top of the steering column.

Isn't that post 90 spec? :huh: Pre 90 spec had the hazard light on the dash iirc.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Bit of a fail there. Meant to say that as pre 90 spec has hazards on the dash, doesn't that mean a mk3 dash isn't a straight swap?

We has an invadzor!  :undecided:

MK2's ftw  :cool: even if they are rusty and need more attention than MK3's, that will all change in a few years when MK3's start getting into their grown up years and only properly looked after MK2's are around :tongue:
