i must complain on Ants behalf about being threatend like this

IMHO roland did not think about the significance off an Aardvark to a Ant,

Don't worry, i'm top of the list now

[roland2003]

Ok Guys, Im going to put a list on the first post of 'interested partys'. If I've missed anyone out, or put you on the list by accident, let me know and I will update it.
Thanks

[alski]

i know, you know best,
but if we are after a budget job why the new fluid tanks?
is it a plumbing issue with the other bits, or am i barking up the wrong tree

i assume engine warranty will be on inspection,

[Rigsey]

Must ignore thread ....

[roland2003]

New tanks have to be used due to new locations/mounting method of both tanks plus revised inlet/outlet tail positions.
Neil.....anymore and youll be added to the list on post 1 (just kidding)

LOL My reasoning to the Mrs; Roland made me do it

[roland2003]

Right thats it......your on the list

[Ant FR]

I an showing interest as i ma genuinely interested, if it does come out too expensive for me, then i will just stick my headowrk and cams etc as already planned.

But the benefits of the turbo conversion over modded SC are more than just the headline figure, the drivability and torque will be there. my only concern with this is that the standard clutch may not be up to it.

Do you have an idea of what the torque will be on this set up Roland

[roland2003]

Hi Ant, this is one reason we will fit the conversion to a standard car (with std clutch) to see how it copes. My guess is if the clutch is in good order and your not agressive on pullaway (which puts alot of heat in the clutch causing slip through the gears) if should be OK.
We had a stock clutch in our car with 'almost' GTT260 spec for a while.....it was fine, but as I say traffic light grand prixs are not recommended. If we find it needs the Exedy then we will fit it afterwards..

[Jove]

Very interested Roland send me the details.

Drag racing from the lights with a standard clutch is a big no no.

I’d love to be on the list but would loose vital parts of my anatomy I'll stop filling your thread now ...

[roland2003]

Jove ..thanks name added to list
Neil.....enthusiasm is fine

[Aberdeen Al]

Are we talking about a keching figure between GTT260 & GTT300 kit prices?

[MINI-Morgan]

How much?? and what would you expect the HP to be with Stage 4 head and cams?

[2 much]

i dont no about price regards the hp enough to put a big big smile on your face every time you drive it

[Meeerrrk]

i am interested in this, but not right away; i wont be one of the five.

I've just bought my first house so explaining to the mrs where £xxxx has gone under the bonnet of a car i now only use at weekends wont be easy. Gimmie a year and ill be on the phone

Will keep a look out for prices, as thats the show stopper right away.

Mark

[roland2003]

Thanks Mark. Prices we are still looking at though. We are working hard designing some of the parts as we speak.....It will be very neat though as always

[Meeerrrk]

im sure it will, i have a lot of respect for GTT's bespoke parts & workmanship, which cant be said for alot of "tuners" out there.

anyway, short term....intercooler to keep me happy through the warmer months (these cold days are great, my mini is flying)

[roland2003]

Thanks Mark. This new forum is great, it keeps all the new GTT product releases neatly together aswell, so its nice and easy to find more info on each product than is available even our own website. It also reminds me which ones we havnt even added to our website yet aswell
