The 90 horses in my Picasso are more than adequate and the hatchback is quite a bit llighter.

:) Pretty good that one Bandit, it seems to have gained 20 cc's as well.
Simple mistake for someone who would like you to believe he knows what he's talking about. :wink:

I think CC's is right, I seem to remember that +40's would take the ambulance to 4103CC, not that it matters since you cant get them!

I think its safe to say I have done my time on the BX shovel.

Unless a very very mint example turned up I doubt whether I would have another. I should have held onto the TGD really, though that took slowness to another level. Im also not a big fan of the TD's and prefer the NA's. But then the TD's I have had have all been utter tw*nts.

A good TD is a nice machine mate, really, although I'm wondering about binning the TD in mine and going back to NA, but keeping the TD ratio's.

I'll tell you what! That 1600 meteor I converted to 1905 N/A. Well I kept the petrol g/box as it was the later one with a straight right pull into reverse.
It showed only slightly different in ratio's on paper but it was rather sprightly as I recall. :)

I put a TD box in a 1600 a few years back, since it's all I had at the time, it did go like poo from a well lubed stick!

I never had NY trouble at all from either of the Na lumps I had in the car over 700000miles. The first turbo soiled the bed all the time, ok, rather my fault, but.. the second goes, but leaks oil, after I changed every *censored* seal on the mofo..

Never seen the problem with the FDV really Marty, I've replaced 2 on my car, and thats in just a tad over 1000000 miles.

"Richie" had 179000 miles on it when I got it, so not quite, but not far off.
The valver I've done about 30K miles in, the bus, tens of thousands of miles, all bar 2.1 of them before i owned it!

One of my (many) pictures uploaded to commons has been used (there is anothe one of mine that is used on a Wiki Jap site, but I'll let you find that if yuo reaally want to!)

The TGD didnt have an FDV, and it sprung to attention quicker than my john thomas in front of Anneka Rice after a shot of V1agra.
That said the TGD didnt have PAS either - I never found it an issue though.

I'm a lazy git, I like the PAS, although it's possible to have a 6+2 pump and have PAS and NO FDV..
