Hello,

Just though I'd let y'all know that my 2.5 N/A is running sweet as a nut and quite perky at the moment I think that I'd also consider having it reconditioned and fitted to a new chassis in the future should I need a newer body. I managed to hit 60 up a fairly long stretch of hill and almost caught a disco Not bad me thinks

I didn't have my foot right down and it wasn't screaming neither. Suppose the car in front will have helped a bit but I haven't managed to get it up there at that speed again.

Your N/A does 75 up a hill and can go faster! How long does it take to wind that up?

Most 2.5N/A engines have now done a fair mileage and are in need of overhaul, so by this stage most of them have been hammered. Mine on the other hand has only done 30K.
