tuned engines don't last as long as standard units....
and perhaps the words "easily attainable" were a bit over-tuned too. It seems to me that most to-the-max tuning is likely to end with a bang and not a whimper, unless the whimper is the sound of the modder or moddee checking their bank balance afterwards....
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.
I have one. But I would never sell itscarecrow wrote:What I wouldn't give for a flap off of wheel trim No. 9 above...
Might be persuaded to start making copies though... I keep meaning to drop the towing eye cover thingy from the 16v into a cast and a make a few.
I could start re-manufacturing rare parts that nobody ever wants or needs
I experimented with resin casting in my model building days... really easy, but quite expensive.

Could do the door handle protectors... but the other two are transparent/reflective. Beyond my resources sadly. And lets face it, most BXers begrudge paying used prices, what are the odds they'd want to spend lots of money on re-manufactured parts??mat_fenwick wrote:Like tailblazers, headlamp covers and door handle protectors?Matt H wrote:I could start re-manufacturing rare parts that nobody ever wants or needs
Anyway, I don't like trailblazers or headlight protectors... so it'd be in my personal interest not to make them
