the jap ones actually did have a badge as standard. a rover badge on the right hand side of the boot lid above the light. do agree though that its better with no badges.

just had another look over the pics nigel and although dark, noticed the front number plate plinth. looks like it has a hatch/saloon jap plinth and not a coupe one.

how much shiny and go faster stuff do you have in your ebay watch list? :laughing2

Oh my god!!....ive got to much mate.

Ive had to get a new air filter, It did have a Pipercross one and the foam filter was falling apart and crumbling inside. The K&N one fits better.

shame the pipercross is past its best they tend to be good filters in fact i was going to get one for when the battery eventually does get moved. i was tempted by an enclosed filter like you have got but the area where the filter will be is going to be shielded any way.

what else you got your eye on? t28?

whats the plan, plenty of track days? went to blyton for a nose the other day. looks a fast track with loads of run off. get down for a look seeing as its not far from you.
Blyton, as in Blyton, Gainsborough? Do we have a race track up the road? :S

If you need any help/advice Nigel then pop over for a cuppa.
