If you enjoyed LOTUS, SUZUKI AND THE WHIZZKID your appetite for modifications may well have been whet.
Fit a Janspeed engine kit, and no, it's no longer available. This consisted of a gas flowed head, tubular exhaust manifold and two twin choke side draft carburettors. Conversion cost around £1,500 over fifteen years ago. (Remember the car was only £2,400 when new). For more information see More Whizz for the Kid, an article by Ian Wearing Fit a turbo charger. This was done on one of my cars by the previous owner in about 1984 by Allard Engineering and cost about £2,000 (crikey).
