Thanks peter, I will give them ago. Could you tell me how much it cost landed?
Yeh JC the phone would be great but when you are doing a stelth project cos the minister for war and finance is in ear shot, the phone is not an option. May have to wait till she goes next door to a convention with other ministers for finance and hair dressing tips. :)

Mini mania have given a price of $2300, just waiting on allspeed in the UK.
Managed to pick up a civic that hit a pole side on, after drivers door, so no damage up the front. D16a8 twin cam engine , truck exhaust, angel eye headlamps and eye brows, grill spoilers etc.Will start to strip out soon, might get some cash back selling the bling stuff from it. :idea: :roll:

D16a8 or ZC - great motors very underated IMHO. Just overshadowed by the newer and flasher B-Series.

Go for it.

Cheers,
