    Not really no, I don't really need it, i've just got a basic stage1 setup, a seb2 equivalent.

    Nice idea but I think I'll pass.

    Quick update- got the engine out yesterday and changed the clutch and belts today then put the engine back in.
    A coupe is quite a big car but the engine bay is very tight, engine removal and refit isn't for the faint hearted lol! Similar technique to a GT but definatly alot harder, just the sheer weight of the fooker is the main problem.
    Should be running tomorrow though.

    I took a few pics today but not many, I was more concentrating on getting it mobile before it got dark. I'll finish up tomorrow and put them up once the job is complete.

    looks insane to work on well done for getting stuck in , and you saved alot of money doing it.

    ive heard a cambelt on them is an engine out job(£700 or so is that correct?)

    Yeah if you take it to a garage they will charge you for taking the engine out. And the same to do the clutch, if you want them doing together i rekon it won't be short of a grand bill.
