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

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

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.
Cool you're not far from me-I'm in gillingham so could meet you in frome (kinda halfway for both of us) so you can see my 13bt swap and have a blat about.
