Got them from Jenvey themselves, and the inlet made by Colin (Eeyore on 106rallyereg) - he then tapered the 42mm bodies to fit 45mm trumpets - this just gives me a bit of flexibility as to longer trumpets in the future.
It is really good service!!
Got the injectors from ebay after being ANSU cleaned.

^ ^ Just needs a good clean up then should be good.
Can anyone who's got a diff help - can you normally see through the holes where the driveshafts go? I can't remember from gearbox's I've changed. . . .

on a standard box you see a bar going across.
on a quaife you see a smaller hole, but you can see all way through.

Thanks, on this box there's a bar across and it made me hope! lol, just a standard diff.
Will be good to put this box on and feel the difference between this and a 1.4 westcoast box (the longest box in the world)

Any thought on this suspension set up to go for?
Bilstein group n shocks
Faulner 180lb x 240mm springs
24mm Arb
19mm torsion bars
Powerflex all round
Hopefully this should be a good fast road set up + a bit of track fun!!

Can't go wrong with billies if you have the money mate. With the bushes though, go for Polyrace items as they're cheaper and stiffer. The only Powerflex ones you want are the ARB bushes and the lower gearbox mount.

I've already got the powerflex bushes, got the new for very good prices, and have group n engine mounts.
You think the group n's with the above springs will be okay for std torsion bars and 24mm arb?

Update !!
Just bought a set of brand new Bilstein Group N's, just on the look out for some springs. Am going to see if anyone got a set goi g spare before going to Faulkner. Am looking to go with 165-175lb x 250mm faulkner springs, should keep a relatively neutral balance.
Should hopefully begin to make it a good all rounder!!! A nice B road blaster!!!

Havn't fitted the s2 yet - planning on fitting it early in April when have some time off from work.
S1 is very short, but if you're not doing a lot of motorway miles then would be fine. The torsion bars come straight out easily?

Yeh, am following in your footsteps - going to try and got for 170lb x 250mm as appears to give a good drop of about 30mm and should be a good compromise betwee road and a bit of track if i get into it!
Your new coilovers are looking nice !! When you planning on getting them fitted ?

haha, its not a bad way to follow mate i can assure you of that, think many others that have been in my car will say that as well 
Wont be fitting them for a while mate, well i say that but i think my bro's on a mission to have them fitted before the end of May so he can take it to PPC at Mallory Park and give it a run on track!Im not back in the UK untill August.
