    Kr cams will be far better utilising the 50 mm inlet manifold.
    my understanding was the abf cams were mild to accommodate the cats.

              cheers Chris

              Got the inside roof to flat/prime next weekend then it's on to the engine bay. I'm have decided to use upol gravitex on the inside floor and certain areas of the engine bay prior to topcoat.

                    I wouldn't go 6 speed they are seriously heavy and have a habit of the rivets holding the selector in place internally dropping off meaning you loose 1st and 2nd I've removed a few that have lost gears.

                      I have also heard that 6th gear sometimes punches it's way out the casing.
                      Is that a vr6 box.

                              Looking good. Forgot what a proper mk1 bay looked like.... The two I have been working on over the last year or so are smoothed and have the rain tray cut away.....

                              Yours does look good. I so wish I had brought the small light 4 door years ago.....
