Is this a good buy?  Or a good bye? :confused:

After duty tax it's not that cheap. Might be about £500 by the time you get it into the UK. Personally it seems a bit too cheap for a unknown brand. I wouldn't risk it.

On a side note I'm setting up a quaife diff group buy so if your looking for one this could be a good time  :happy2:

I'm trying for 15-20% off depending on numbers so around the 500-550 mark for a manual diff. Which would be a good opportunity to get one if I can secure that sort of discount.

Ah I see. I need the brakes, fuel pump and intercooler but have already done the bushes and about to do the clutch and flywheel! Between our cars we probably have the full works! Sounds like ou would be ready for 2+ with the pump as long as you have a TB Zort.
