Good to hear from you Kev. My 360 Turbo is still a work in progress...playing with the 343 with the B200 on carbs at the moment!

The car looks fantastic. I have no use for it, but I'm still sorely tempted.

For those of you thinking 190bhp doesn't sound like much...note the 280lbft part. That's more than a T5, etc. If you wanted, you could get that peak horsepower (at high RPM) up to 250+ quite easily with a larger turbo and a cam, with a slight (and I do mean slight) trade-off in low end. As it is, it'll still be extremely tractable on the road, as the torque is exactly where you want it. I bet it's a joy to drive. Good luck with the sale, and I'm extremely envious!

cheers

James
