Hi,Dave.The TR drivers club is the one to join.Many of us here are members.The best bit of advice i can give you is to post here regularly with your questions/problems.Some one will have the solutions you want.Make sure that 16v cools properly and use plenty(50%)antifreeze to keep engine healthy.Where abouts are you?There will be a 'Wedgemaniac'nearby!!

See ya. Paul
