Lol Hazz, I wish I had seen that!
I'm not going to change the intake or exhaust while it's an auto. Bike carbs actually seem to be quite an easy swap, I've seen a few build threads where people have done it easily enough. I do know a chap on Red Pepper Racing that has everything needed for a manual conversion, it's just sitting doing nothing and he likes his car auto. So I was considering offering him my autobox for spares and some cash in exchange. If that happens then bike carbs are a distinct possibility.
I really dislike the intake system on this car. It's rusty and needlessly complicated. It has an early exhaust gas recirculation system, which makes it a PITA to start when hot and is so old and tired that it probably increases fuel consumption now. It's the only thing on this car that I don't want to refurbish.
