    I realise im gonna be bumped up a couple of classes because of the engine but if the rest of the car is good this year i will probably build an engine over the winter. I think 180bhp is fairly realistic from a basic build so that would give me a bit more of a chance.

    The top mounts were an ebay bargain. I had to buy the unidentified struts they were on but for a tenner it was worth the risk.
    Sorry to bring up an old thread, but...
    I dont suppose you have anymore info on the top mounts you had on this car do you, im looking for some just the same! Thanks james
