Yeap, I like to tinker though like Northwind (thats my excuse).

+ 1, you have the K3 cam swap right?

Your 1st in line Northwind if I come to sell it!

Suspension is the way to go first, if its just acceleration you want then consider changing the gearing (won't affect speedo as it runs off wheel).

Aye, cams, ignition advancer, full system, BMC RS filter. Not a mighty Sv by any means but a nice street build. Still to get its compression boost and busa pistons and a bit of light headwork while they're off. But I'll not be going mad with that, I want to keep it happy on cheap petrol and easy to start so no mad head decking.

Do as I say, not as I do
