Roland do you think that there is a chance that the GTT300T 'Topmount' conversion would be supplied in "kit" form for those outside of the UK?

That is a shame as I would love one on my car but shipping my car from Australia to the UK and back for the conversion would be a little extreme!!!

thats a shame Roland, As if you do ever relent on that you'd make so much cash out of it.

Madness not to offer it as a kit. How many turbos are there now 3 or 4. They are some of the best cars out there , it almost seems a crime that you have not done more. kit form would enable that.

There are many reasons that we will not offer this as a DIY product. The main one being that it is not suitable for DIY. It is too involved and requires machining & fabrication of various parts along the way plus rewiring , skilled soldering etc. Only by supplying it as a complete fitted conversion can we guarantee a faultless conversion. ..the ultimate driving machine. & 100 %reliability .
As a DIY conversion the instruction manual would be 4" thick, and phone lines blocked with people querieing things. Even then I'm sure it wouldn't get fitted right, there would be problems, bits get copied , then when it all went wrong it would all be my fault no doubt. Sorry to be negative but thats the truth of the matter.
If I design it all , make it, fit it , tune it, test it , then double check it..I know its right , and the customer will be happy.....any other way on a conversion such as this will all end in tears.. or a pile of parts on ebay advertised as 'Abondoned project...all parts included to finish...most work done ..easy completion' haha
Above all by only offering it fitted I can ensure a stunning conversion that retains the recognition and reputation it deserves.

Love this conversion and feel really tempted to go and buy a mcs to have this conversion. Roland, how many have you sold now?
