Cool, looking forward to seeing the piccies!

Did you have the Quaife LSD fitted? I was considering this at some stage as well as the 225 kit.

What does the car drive like now you've had the upgrade? Did you upgrade from 200 or 210? I'd be going from 200 so I'm hoping there will be a big difference. Does the exhaust sound much louder with the new manifold?

I guess the magic question is, how much did it all cost?

I've got quotes for most of the work you mentioned before except the flywheel part, would be interesting to know how much extra that cost.

As its an ongoing project the total balance has yet to be totalled.

I was quoted £1800ish for the 225 upgrade from 200 JCW. They also quoted £600 fitting for the LSD (parts £580ish I think).

Thats a lot of cash, but I'm still tempted...
