This could be the first SVX i actually could start to like - somethings on there i think the original should have (or have as an option) eg: Auto and HID lights
I like the rain sensor idea - its on our other cars, lazy yes, but why isnt that an option! JE are only down the road from me: im going past later - i wonder if its out? Mike |

i think allot of the options JE Eng have provided, should be std or options, especially the auto box, technolagy today is better than a decade ago.
havent spent that much on it. the biggest outlay was the auto box, but i need an auto as am parcially paraplegic. the wheels and tyres from silverline 4x4 are the best thing i think, change the whole look of the 90. also, following what BAS are doing in respect of a TDV8 conversion.

This is something I would really like to do, but I cannot afford / justify the £6k outlay. The cost is justified though by the amount of time and effort Ashcroft put into developing it? |

Ditto, I'm sure it is a brilliant conversion but the price is out of my reach. Andy

the auto box part was £5250 ex VAT, but as it is classed as a dissabled modifacation, i did not have to pay the VAT. the conversions where carried out by JE Engineering.
also, i picked it up this morning, looks better in real life so to speak. will post some pictures over the weekend to show what it is like. Cheers keith puer claudius |
