There's no reason at all for a sixth injector. My 5th injector is only there for peace of mind.

Can't view the pics either Just keep getting a ablank page

It's a 5th injector probably controlled by an ERL MF2 controller

Just means the metering head isn't supplying enough fuel so an independant injector is added in the charge pipe

It does NOT increase bhp, only supplies enopugh fuel needed, nothing more

Bodge job IMO
two totally different injectors, also can't possibly see how they would both be controlled as they have different flow rates to eachother

Ah well, never mind eh

Looking at the link you supplied that's not the current engine bay...so perhaps before the rebuild? and as above, god that looks awful! wtf are those horns about

For a car that's had all that money thrown at it, it's been spent in the wrong area's imo! looks crap....but that's just my opinion! each to thier own

Right,

I went to look but guy wasnt there to show me around could only have a look on outside.

Front drivers indicator smashed, same with rear light front bumper paint cracking real bad see the orginal bluey colour. All the skirts and arches were smoothed on @ some point and now have started to crack/come away from body. The ony good thing really was the interior.

Thanx for the advice I'll keep looking.

There are still plenty of good ones about. Just need to look. What sort of budget are you looking at?

I'd say you could get something half decent with that money, I did, I went for a totally original standard car which had been looked after (1 owner all it's life) and had done 50K from new. Now I've got it how I want it I'm going for more power
