Glenn, Take your business to PRI if you want innovative performance upgrades for your Spitfire. But you'd better be prepared to pay the price, because their innovation comes with a sizeable price tag...

The following is a tirade, quit reading now if you don't want to bother with it! I just got my new Roadster Factory summer flyer, I 've also received several LBC magazines and catalogs from other sources. In every case as I looked through them I asked myself "where's the new stuff?". I realize that a lot of our cars are approaching their 30th birthday, and there's not millions of them on the road like the Hondas and Toyotas, but couldn't one of the big 3 or a smaller company come up with something new! There are literally hundreds of companies making things for the import tuner market, couldn't we support even one? I'm talking about real innovation here though, sure everybody can sell you a weber or a header or a gas flowed head, but why can't you get a smog legal performance carb for a British car or aftermarket fuel injection for less than a down payment on a house? Pierce manifolds is selling a cross flow head for MGs now, but it doesn't have the air injection ports so it's illegal on the streets anywhere there are smog laws (and that's going to be the entire U.S. very soon), would it have been that hard to make it legal? Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems to me that there is a market for street legal performance parts out there for our cars, I just wish that the manufacturers would realize and put a little money into developing them.
