  1. I've been buying loads of bits from both sites. For a while now, all my type 9 v6 upgrade gearbox parts came from bearing kits
  2. As one of my many winter upgrades, I decided to buy a rose jointed quick shift gear lever from Matt lewis racing, to replace the standard cut down sierra one. It improved the shifts nicely but still had a little slop so I just fitted a brass gearstick saddle from bearing kits, I now have a gear shift with no play at all. Great cheap little mod. The other thing I have gone away from is short little gearsticks back to full height with a bit of weight on the end it makes the shifts so much easier and as a result of easier quicker....
  3. Just fitted a quaife atb differential to my English axle in the stylus, I read they were good and after a few miles of playing I can say for certain that they are good, really good.. with all the new found power when accelerating in a straight line the car was stepping out sideways if you didn't feed things in gently, now mash the throttle and it squats, wheelspins a bit and flies to the horizon at a rapid rate completely straight line and quicker than it was due to more traction.... the diff cost £536 a further £125 to have it fitted and completely refurbished with new bearings. Fitting the quaife atb is the finally to my winter summer autumn mods.

  6. http://r.ebay.com/eRfJO2I've fitted this to the stylus the cooling ability of it is phenomenal. I have trouble getting up to temp now where as before it was marginal cooling. They come in 4core as well without the intercooler. Coolex will also modify to suit your needs. Worth a call....
