I have exactly the same concern as I'm building a winter model with ts1.

I want a clubman that performs the same as a good expansion i.e. a franspeed road or supertourer.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to exist so I'm considering a curly. However, I've read that the jl3 curly is rather peaky like a jl4 or franspeed race. Does anyone have any experience one or t'other?

Mito and casa both do curlies too worth a look.

They look pretty but how do they perform? Anyone used one or seen a dyno graph?

I fitted a curly pipe for a while. My main concern was the fact that it blew oily smoke directly at the back tyre.

Why can't ron moss just sell me one of his super clubmans?

I will be trying a Franspeed Race curly with a GT200 kit this spring.

Mark 6 Mikeck from about 1987
Obviously not on a Series 2 here but no need to trim the rear runner on the GP
It always puzzles me why pipes are made where you need to modify the bodywork so they fit, can anyone explain that one?

What rear shock are you running? That can change everything
