thanks for the heads up dude. ill keep an eye on them and see how they wear. what would your choice be? it will be used for fast road and maybe (if i can bring myself to do it) the odd track day.

Shame you didn't lay your hands on a G60 conversion, but no bother.

Money no object, Pagid blues.

Otherwise Yellowstuff seems to work fine, if being a little wooden on the pedal - but they're cheap so you forgive them.

Here is quick pic of the engine. To say tickover is lumpy is an understatement lol sounds fantastic with the new exhaust system too. As for the diff. What an amazing bit of kit the levels of grip that are there now is unreal

that sounds like a good set up 175bhp to be expected ? think i would still have done it in my garage for about 20% of what tsr charge tho .

as for brakes get g60's on there with ds2500 and 5.1 fluid with braided hoses .

unfortunately we don’t have the space/time/tools/know how to do such things. plus the engine is covered for 12 months unlimited mileage should anything go wrong with it. so it was just better for us to have TSR have it for 3 weeks. we are going to see how we get on with brakes as i cant really see it doing any track days to be honest and i have never been one to be really heavy on them.
