Keep seeing the victor jr mentioned on various turbo forums so it might be worth asking about that one. The other is the ACCEL Pro Ram Intake Manifold which is setup for both carb and efi and has a lower start rpm of 2000

The last time the pound was at these sorts of levels was 5 November, 1980, when it reached $2.446 followed by...........

Hmm.

I think in the Global market scheme of things that America isn't as dominant as it was in the 80's.

Yes, the U.S will have an effect on the rest of the world but I think we're in better standing at this time . . .



Not good though . . . . . I suppose take advantage while we can, eh ?

As an export company we tend to see the trends especially as we are in the luxury goods market. The current dominant markets for us are Russia and China, North america is almost dead as is europe apart from the odd country

The difference between $2.10 and $2.00 is only about 5 quid for every 100 quid you spend. So you'll need to be spending fairly large amounts of money to make any kind of significant saving.
