- Replacement decals added where some were removed as per the regs when she was raced in NZ for a few rounds. (These decals are pretty crap and will be replaced by proper ones when time allows).
- New side-exit exhaust fitted - Almost identical replica of the BRT unit fitted in 1989.
- Car was run in the UK a few times with non-original engine. Original, 1989 stamped ARE engine now back in the car which is what was being setup my Stu and the MSD guys.
- Safety stuff has been updated of course as it had all expired (extinguisher, seat and harness).
Interesting, thanks.


Out of interest; so the engine original engine was always with the car, or did it have to be tracked down? And why was it run in the UK without it?
