Kane you sly dog, I've not seen this about anywhere. You'll have to gift me the S13 now, I guess.

With any luck, in the next few months, there'll be another 30 kicking about down here.

Fit a supercharger to the LD instead.
and Eaton M90 would be perfect.

Turbo diesel would be a winner IMO. Although I've never done one I was considering turbo'ing an old merc wagon after seeing this;

Hey, You may want to fit the rs master cylinder and proportioning valve so you get those rear discs working the way they should aswell.

Looking good dude - itll go heaps better with it manual - the LD28 auto c32 i just brought feels so slow even compared to my manual ld20
