Jim berry is installed Now haven't Had a chance to drive it yet as I've had problems with the car running rough though it was coil pack related so got a set of yellow jacket coils and new plugs still had no luck after stuipid amounts of time traced it down to a dead alternator so I'm thinking the microtech isn't gettin enough power supply so I've sent my alternator for overhaul and should hopefully get it back next weekend I've also got my rear slicks ready gave the chasers a clean and paint Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Unlucky man. Welshpool is hit and miss, took mine there twice, 1 bloke was a **** and thought my dose was a blow off valve, second time was an older bloke, he was a champ. Shouldn't need permits for cooler, mine went straight over with it.
