Hey Peeps - been a while since I posted much - been flat stan - but thought I should share this with y'all - so, today I swapped a perfectly lovely 92 PreCat Griffith for an '84 on the 'A' mk 1 Sierra 1.6L with electric windows, and not much else in the way of mod cons... But... with a difference... . . . . . Quite a big difference, in the scheme of things... . . . . . 10360cc... . . . . . 1056hp..... . . . . . 850 lub foots..... . . . . . And that's before we add anything in the way of FI or laughing gas...bonkers! More soon, meanwhile a quick vid and the ebay listing while it lasts. Enjoy! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191775792498?redirect=mobileA whole new world beckons! Cheers Matt

Do you want to sell your rear spoiler? Think I may be in need of it! Cheers M

S'funny - I mentioned the many possible benefits of a passenger seat to Paul on the way home, but he said he thought it might be a much better idea to remove it in the interests of weight reduction! Guess it'll just be me, the GoPro and me lucky blue pants then - let's hope they stay blue! Cheers M

Just out of interest are you planning on using it on the road? Curious with all the recent talk of the biva scheme and modified classics how you would get on.

Mainly quite excited about how much fasterer she'll be converted to (short arm) manuals I'd heard from a bloke in the pub that his cousin reckoned that long arms were better for achieving finer control.

Need to work out whether this is urban legend, but if what I've been told is true this car could sit stationary at the lights waiting, a McLaren F1 could happen past already doing 100mph, and yet still get toasted over the 1/4... kinda puts it all into a bit of that there perrrr-spective! And whether that's all true or no, it's going to be a whole new world of experiences, laughs, gits n shiggles Cheers! Matt

I'll of course readily defer to such masterful confidence on his part Seems the pax seat went walkies today btw - Paul says it's nowhere to be seen and probably failed to survive the journey home! Funny that!

L spec never came with electric windows. I think that car must be a bit suspect. I'll trade you for a correctly specced one
