Apparently around 220 bhp is possible but he was advised the 170 was the best option, as the car was well set up at that with the mods you stated above......Very quick car :drive: Would like to see a pic of yours :...

Check the connection at the back of the speaker to make sure it's clean and tight etc I suspect there is a poor connection there causing your issue

Re: Type9 pinto dust cover

A lot of time people refer to it as a sandwich plate

There's one on ebay but it doesn't state which gearbox

Re: How Much!!

It would be interesting to know the back story behind this car. Obviously it's been bought from new with the intention of not using it, but who would do that? I'd also love to know how much the dealer paid for it! Andrew. Someone has obviously discovered time travel headed back and bought cars to s...

Re: Undersealing

If the car has been always undersealed then it is good to top up for a time. But at somepoint, it is best to look underneath and see what it really looks like. I reckon 10years is a good point to strip back and take a good look and then it makes you more worried as underseal can also hide rot where...
