A guy here paid $5000 for a second hand BDA head for his Super7 Kent Spec (much the same as a Scort engine) recently - he found one in England. What do you do if you want to keep it showroom spec? That's another car that gets around Canberra, it's Yellow and the owner tries to teach the cops how to drive out at Fairbairn Park in his spare time, also has a few PRB's, one with a FJ20-ET and the other has a 13B turbo in it - these things are dangerously insane fast.
