Very close to a straight drop in, the radiator sits lower( not as tall) so you would need to do a diff bracket, but the rubber mounts fits straight on.

And like you say, nice and cheap, and very thick!

Oky so I am going to fit my FMIC the weekend, and overall the clutch as well, and get a new Fiscus van clutch assembly, I like a merlin motor, but not in my SX!

And my Warlbro is on its way.

After that the list goes on:

W/M system.
Cold induction.
Turbo rebuild/ New turbo.
Nistune.
Respray.
Some Interior fixes.
some sound "tweeks".
Brace set.
lowering springs.
maybe some new wheels( not sure yet)

Then my car will be sorted for a little while! Need to save up for the wedding then :?

Some pics of my car like it is now :

Comments welcome! :P

I would call him my cousin rather, but you can call him what you want. The plan is to get my car to him before year end as well.
