well i'm dropping me engine bits off on sunday, so I should have a new bigger engine by Easter!  That will piss the neighbours off.  I am also considering getting a stainless stinger made.

Bug:

- Get a (small) shift light in


that would be my plan as well. i have the linelock light installed, but i never really understood the use of this light... you push the button the lock is on, no need for a light IMHO, but it would make a nice descrete shiftlight. i just might need one in the future. when i sort out some other bits and bops on the car this winter.

Totally agree... Just as useful as a parking brake light...

maybe somebody could start selling the "you don't have an engine in your car" light.. you know.. just in case.

Fit a nice pair of 48's with some hefty chokes
Some nice heads - CB Ultra Mag plus.
Up the CR to 9.5:1
Its tempting to slip an FK89 in while I am at it  Grin

Then I had better start looking at mid-mounts and h/d engine and 'box mounts  Roll Eyes

I have one off those and it is on all the time now. really annoying as it means i can't drive the fastback.  Cry

no idea on what could work as a shiftlight. i was thinking about your average autometer thingy and just connect the small light to that. maybe Rool has allready an idea on that one.
