it's completely standard, what sort of boost can you run with std management/cooler before it becomes a problem?

Nice one, I take it the std IC is ok for that?

It's totally standard, and original, everythings their! never been messed about with.

PICS: wheels are GOING needs suspension and an exhaust and that will do me as afterall it's just a runabout as my S1's being restored!!)






It badly needs a polish/green stripes kit but so far ive done:
timing belt
oil
oil filter
plugs
air filter
and a hand wash

Oh and the passenger seat needs to be swapped back to where it should be on the drivers side!

no bother mate, thanks for that! i'll get some ordered

I was thinking some S2 wheels painted black (till I find some frst ones) what you think it'll look like?

on that site, is the "mid green" colour the same as the std frst colour? or very close?

cheers.
