Really enjoying my BEAMS. Everything else is stock except for GT4 front end, exhaust, wheels, and a fifth gear from an s51 transmission. This gives me 34mpg at 60mph, and reduces the rpm (at 60mph) by 300rpm. Put about 4000k miles on it and couldn't be happier with the performance. It really comes alive at 3800rpm. The swap is expensive (I had a professional mechanic do the swap) but I'm glad I chose the BEAMS. Manny did the front end body and paint work.

Nice one! I also have a Beams powered red Celi with a GT4 front. Not convertible though, and not with paint as good as yours. smile.gif

Well done.
