[/quote] Thanks for the nice words:) but becourse of room in the mag they shortened the story quit a bit. I have found a lot more info since.
Like the name "old lady maroon" he he. serius box you made there, why did you have to work on your steering rack? worn? or for the turbo?

yeah my steering rack was just a bit sloppy, so figured it might aswell get changed while there was no engine in the subframe to make the job more awkward.

Oh I follow you on that changed a rack many years ago, on the floor of a barn, and with engine in place:( newer again. Who coats the manifolds overthere ? and do they put the ceramic on the inside like on the pistons ? I know my setup probably would go better with an exhaust wrap,
but the JS manifold and connector pipes is a work of art and I want the car to be as original as possible:). Plus I want people to be able to see what craftsmanship JS put into it.

Hi all,


I am still trying to locate one of the JanSpeed Turbo Metro,s ?? (the last??)

still no sign of any survivor I have found out that Nigel Mansell,s JS Metro, shared the same fate as my car
it blew up, and was sold as is, with its engine in bits.

I have seen the remains that were sold in the 3 different Ebay auctions, plus Phil,s engine, this leaves atleast one car -
as Norm (X JanSpeed imploie) told me they made atleast a handfull Metro,s .
