The RB is now running about as it would have when only 10 years old (in 1990) - I'm pretty happy with that, I have no intention whatsoever of restoring the motor car, but keeping it in 'about 1990' condition is fine.

Take care,

Haha, I think turbo, sensible 40mm drop and no underfloor lighting would be more my taste there's time yet for the RB to end up that way... Don't forget the manual swap too haha.

I bet it will still be running in 40 years time better than most cars of today... If we are still allowed to burn fermented dinosaurs then, we might be all running on corn juice in which case some fuel system changes will probably need to be done.
