Alright all.

My names jeff. i'm 24 and I live in Devon. I have just brought a 1988 city 998cc with 12" minilights, and I have caught the bug big time!! has recently been resprayed (quite spectaculary I might add in MG trophy blue with a white/blue pearlescent roof) and is currently being fitted with a 1275cc out of a metro.

Anywayz, I was wondering if you's guys could help me with a few questions:

1) Sportspack. What are the issues that go with fitting sportspack arches and 13" wheels? I know the arches need cutting, but is there any other work that needs to be done? Does it effect handling performance etc

2) stage 1 kit. The "new" 1275 metro engine is being fitted with a stage 1 inlet manifold and a stage 1 exhaust. what else could I do, for less than £200, to squeze a bit more power out of the beast?!

3) Im really considering going to go for one of the classic corbeua interiors, from minispares-online.co.uk for my new beastie. What do you reckon. Good idea or not? Im either gonna go black with blue piping, or cream with blue piping.

Cheers chappies.
