Damn addictive car..

Jambo · 06-04-2007, 04:58 PM

Howdy all, I live in sunny old England and have just bought myself a good condition '91 T-top 3S-GE in sexy dark metallic blue. Already got an aftermarket induction kit in place of the airbox and put a can of 10K boost through it.... Only problem is my social life seems to be taking a nose dive as im always out and about in the damn thing!

I had a Reliant Scimitar with a ford essex RS 3.1 engine before so im not new to quick cars but I must admit im really liking having an engine behind me, and there's just something intrinsically cool about those pop up lights....

Im looking to mildly tune my car, probably throw on some headers first and see what happens with my very limited mechanical skills! If its electronic I can fix it, if its mechanical.....hmm...

BTW, as there are apparently NO headers available here in the UK, can anyone recommend any? Does the SS Autochrome 5SFE 4-1 kit fit? Its the only one I've found so far.

Cheers guys, happy trails!

I've never heard/seen a Brit ever use the word "Howdy".

Welcome.

Alone with the solitude of his desire, survival sense numbed by the speed, he's outrun the mediocrity of the outside world, slipped the shackles it tries to clamp on us all. He is running free, chased only by a fear of failure, for failure is to risk ejection into the real world." ~Mark Hughes
