Rob,
I've only jst driven it for the first time yesterday (to get an exhaust
sytem put on), so I haven't really tested it out yet. I still have some
small details to sort out. The main things are that the full synchro 5
speed is a welcome change and the car has noticely better torque and smooth
idling nature. If it were mine, I'd consider some different carburation
perhaps. Engine is completely stock.
