The V8 Owners Forum -

I'm building a buggy with an exposed Rover V8, does anyone have recommendations for stainless headers? I'd like some polished ones as they'll be visible, but can't find any sources?

Cheers in advance!

Was yours pink? Cause this one still has traces of pink on it!

I did think that a 6/7...

I'd really appreciate your input on this! It'd be going on a stock SD1 3.5 (it's got the FASD). Pros: Comes with stock ...

Hi speedy, I'm about to do the same conversion to my bug, putting a s'charged v8 in the back of there. I'm getting my adaptor plate from DS tuning over in germany, and will fab up the mounts when it's on. Have you got any advice on the conversion? Where did you get your adaptor from? It'd be great t...
