I don't think that those mods would prove to be much of a problem, especially when you have the resources of 48 years of experience in mechanics...

its only whan you start doing things cheep that things start to go wrong, crow is a billet so no issues there and an exhaust is fine, just dont turbo it and your fine,

coz he seems to think that any sort of mods will cause problems...
didn't know it was in warrick... does that one flow on to the diploma course also? only thing that will be on the cheap is the installation of everything as we will be doin it in the backyard... all parts will be brand spankin'...
