It is a pity the fronts aren't in better condition, the rears are probably as good as you'll find anywhere. The fronts really did make the interior look tacky :(
But now I have my comfy sheepskins back......hmmmm.....sheepskins :mrgreen:

Bigger MAF would be no good to me, bloody gas ring is choking the life outa it. I've finally decided that it is coming out, tank and all. Bad thing about Dyno's.....once you know what you got, you just want more.
Gunna start looking out for heads for mine first, then we will progress from there :wink:

Don't get too carried away mine has the ring as well don't forget and it can't be as small as the stock MAF compared to the 70mm - seems to go better esp mid range! i gotta keep gas as its a daily driver :D

Nope. If I want a manual, I'll sell this and buy a V8 manual, but I would go older school. After reading all the trouble you had, I just wouldn't do it to myself.

I want my manual 351 XD back :evil:

"Computer says No" :lol: (in litle britain speak :P )

No Manual, gunna work on motor where the real power comes from. Have my eye on a set of GT40P's. Then I'll be going down the whole bigger MAF, TB, Injectors etc, etc.

Then I'll probably blow the Trans anyway, so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it :wink:

Every now and then, you have to make tough decisions in life to enable you to take the next step forward.

I am at the stage now that, whilst I have enjoyed building, cruising and showing the Lane, it is time to move on :shock:

The Lane "Will" be on the market very soon!

Watch this space :wink:
