	Ok time for a laugh! My Road Rally prepped Lada Riva . . . Basically standard bar: a bit of head work, LA4 cam, super sump guard, billies all round, 'forest' spec strings (seem to be the same as stock but red), roll cage, various bits and bobs. Body work mods include 1000's of scratches, the odd dint and a spot of rust. Hope to get to RCS, possibly with a few extra tweaks. ;D Cheers, Dave

	I'm guessing you'll already know a Fiat 2.0 TC bolts straight in. Trying to find a good one could be fun though. Dare to be different I'd have one. Is it the 1600 or the 1500?

	;)Iagree, that is a really cool car. I never used to like Ladas when they were still being sold here, but since then I've become less blinkered and now I love them. All those straight lines and right angles, just like a mini Volvo!

	Billies = Bilstein suspension - damn impressive suspension in my experience (unfortunately not on any of my cars! )

	WOW! Thanks for the reply's I'd have thought most would have a chuckle at it really. For RCS I need to rebuild the gearbox, put a new screen in (stone chipped) and a few minor bits and bobs. It looks a lot rougher in the flesh than it does on those pics! See you at RCS! ;D
