We also need to calculate the allowance for various GTT parts already fitted to customers cars that can be utilized as part of the 280T qs aswell.
If we can get 5 people initially to put there name down (probably with a small deposit) then this will help the price too. We will start another thread for this later, but for now if your sufficiently interested in having this conversion please post on this thread .

I'd be very interested in this........................depending on price that is (Roland perhaps you could PM me an approx. price - it'll go no further). My options open to me just now are - upgrade my existing MCS or possibly purchase another one get the conversion and sell my existing MCS.

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,
