As already said these cars are old now and a couple of the electric circuits such as the fuel pump is best rewired as old age gets the better of it. Also the fan could do with a new circuit being made as this was on the edge to start with and most cars the fuse actually melted along with the fusebox.
Wasted spark basically brings the ignition system into the 21st century as of that you would find on a modern car, the benefits are better spark, no misfires etc which are common problems on these cars.
Closed loop uses a lamba sensor and gives feedback to the ECU as to the air quantity in the exhaust this information can then be used to fine tune the fuel delivery and hence better fuel economy.
Kind regards,

So true.Went too look at a cossie on the weekend that some bloke had messed with himself hoping to get it to 380hp by just putting injectors in and chip then off round the block to see how fast it was,it broke down! Then moaned about the car. Wouldnt listen to a word i was telling him.Said to me he only wants it to last til the end of the summer,didnt last til the end of the day.
