And it's a welcome from me as well :) As everyone has said, that is one seriously fine car you have got yourself. It takes a mountain of work to get to the 'properly sorted' stage, Steve had the patience and talent to put it all together.
Hope to see Rexanne and yourself at an event / gathering at some stage.

Cheers Herman
Dave.

Thank guys, I need to sign up for Exile too then, I guess! I'm in Bath, North Somerset - so it's not gone TOO far.

As an aside, is there an 'accepted' route towards adding a turbo to these FB's? Is it a matter of moving over to a 13b, or less hassle to turbo the 12a that's in there?

(Don't worry, I'm not about to do anything drastic - I'm just curious more than anything!)

Nothing drastic about turbocharging an FB - but there are plenty of ways to skin that cat.

2 variables need to be narrowed down though - what do you want from the end result and how much money do you want to spend - once you nail those, the rest is easy :D :D :D

turboing a stock 12a can be done for fairly cheap if you only want alittle more poke with using a s4/5 turbo and bits and pieces OR If you have a few grand you could go a bigger turbo, wastegate etc..

i made 310 on 9psi with a To4r on a high compression 12a bridge it all depends on £ and what you want out of it.

I can't believe no-ones suggested fitting an Elford turbo. Cheap power and bolt on upgrade.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......
