Eddie,
That would be J.A. Prestwich, a famous English engineering company that made
Speedway bike engines and a lot of specialist race car components. They made
very high quality components and were famous for their engines.
Cheers

Yeah, it's an FJ20T in there, not up and running yet but I'm getting my new
ECU soon from DTA (www.dtafast.co.uk) and turbo is built so won't be long.
I think the fact that everything here is so expensive combined with the low
Aussie dollar would make buying a set of wheels from the UK pretty poor
value. It's bad enough buying wheels here when you live here! The wheels and
tyres I bought for my 260C lowrider cost me the equivelent of about AU$3500.
They do original minilites for road and different ones for race but I don't
know if they are mag or not. I used to have a set of J.A.P (J A Pearce, I
think) rims that were mag and they were amazingly light and strong. The
center flange that the nuts bolted through was only 6mm thick! Wish I'd
never sold them.
