Welcome aboard Richard. You are in the right place for modified A series turbo info. If I can get my arse into gear, my engine will be seeing a boost upgrade this year as well.

welcome; this just makes me want another metro even more; like the wheels on the white one - they seem to suit it well

I'm sure Rich will correct me if I wrong but is has K-series rear hubs on it and the front ones have been re-machined to suit too.

If there are any viable metro's left when I've finished the mini I may have to invest on one.

I wouldnt mind a cherry red advantage.
