    Perspex Bonnet

    yea, but the K series wasnt designed to push that much power, its a tiny 1.8 and was designed for a 1.6 really........so a 250bhp Kseries would be crap in that heavy a car, the VHPD is only a diff head casting, rare too and costs about 1200 for the bare casting....... we need to slop that...

    Air conditioning to air box unit

    yes, but not that much........only a few bhp, but most modern cars will have an auto cut out for the compressor under load and high rpm.....so dont matter.

    exige is nice but totally underpowered........ i really would have to add another 200bhp to that thing......a 1.8 is pathetic in that car, and the top speed....yawn!

    Help! R5 Buying Trouble

    dash, im not a leccy person and its not really my thing, but could be as simple as a bad connection or earth making everything appear on. raising the torsion bar is a simple task and you can do it for a few quid or get it dont for about 40. the fan temp switch is a few quid and...
