Future Plans (were)

Adding an injection unit (from an XR3i which would have bolted straight onto the CVH engine)
Another idea for the bonnet vent, like a big rally style air dam
5" endpipe and wider system
Racing seats & belts
The gearbox ratios were also under consideration
etc. etc. etc.
Future Fantasy Plans
2.0i turbo
17" wheels
(I know it can be done!)
