What is the oil consumption like on the early ones? They modded the oil control rings didn't they on the later ones to try and lessen it?

Very nice mate, i can see the appeal of something like that after owning your cossie for a bit, i think thats the sort of direction i will head when i am fed up of mine, which i definatly am not at the moment!

james you will get used to the power soon enough and then you will want to start modifying firstly you willput on a
1 dump valve
2 rear beam
3 bara box
4 comps
you get the idea ,then you will want your cossie back
seriously best of luck with it
