Thankyou for the reply both of you .. decisions to be made .. I think it’s fair to say it is a ticking time bomb especially when I will eventually want more power and seem almost silly to let it go bang when there is options there I have seen the bmw conversion kit however I like how you say in order how you rate them and that being at the bottom I mean personally I want it to have the oem feel and realistically I’m only going to get that with the v160 but that’s why it has the price tag .. I think if I go for the car then I will get it in to somewhere ASAP and sort of get the info on what it’s curretly running and look at keeping it to a minimum until a gearbox decision is made .. I mean I’m going to drive “carful” to an extent however of course I want to launch on occasions and have some fun and I won’t find it fun if the box goes bang because I’m already aware of that before even buying the car .. can either of you recommended a reputable/ knowledgable specialist who would be able to carry out a conversion to a different box ..
