Update 5th November 2001

Well the conversion has been taking a little longer than expected, as the workshop is very busy at the moment. The VR4 intercooler which we decided to use has arrived from Adelaide, not in the best condition but nothing that can't be fixed. One of the end tanks was reversed last week so they now both come out the bottom of the 'cooler.

We have decided to go Microtech MT8 for engine management as opposed to the standard computer, for though the engine will be left basically standard to start with, there are plans for the future and it will be cheaper and easier to fit the unit now rather than later.

I have taken some photos of the intercooler and EMS but I just need to finish off the film before I post them here. Keep watching, as there should be more updates pretty soon as the conversion gets underway.
