    Super S Manifold, location and end fitting.

    Well, the backbox is finally disintegrating on the Super S, big style! So since I don't actually need a cat for MOT I was going to get a standard MA12 (non cat) exhaust fitted, my question is, will the the Super S manifold mate up fine with a non cat exhaust? Cheers Rich

    52mm Gauge Holders

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some 52mm gauge holders, but I'm after some which are recessed and angled. I want to put some gauges into the dash of the K10 above the glovebox area but with a say 30degree angle towards the driver to make them easier to see. I don't want them sticking out the dash...

    Hey guys, Some of you may remember that I used to own Imps Super S before he bought it off me. Well I have now purchased it back because I was after a cheap runner that I knew was reliable while I get a load of other expensive stuff in my life sorted out. However I've decided I may as well...
