Biggest issue is getting it all under the 'lid, remember that it's a Fastback

That was my original intention, I must still have a chat with Armand regarding the Wasserboxer Fuel injection mod

At a later stage when the car is done and i have money to spare, I will do the motorbike throttle bodies modification...

What's the fuel consumption like on the DRLAs?

if they are set up properly(no vacuum leaks, proper balanced linkage) and jetted correctly they will give you better consumption than the PDSIT's PROVIDED that you dont hammer it all the time... if you use the extra performance then you will have to pay for it of course

And of course they slurp and slurp

lol well I might make a move to slovakia... chances are good I'll buy property there with room to spare. I don't want groenie to hang around my parents place being unused and I cant think of a better car to cruise around slovakia with..... I spent too much time on it to sell it to anyone in either SA or UK....
