I want to get some work on my tranny any way maybe change the dif out and put in a lower set of gears.
Plus i try to keep my engine compartment fairly clean and i noticed a bit of rust on the block and the oil pan so i ordered a new pan today. I am going to weld stainless fittings directly to the pan. clean up the block and send in all the aluminum accessoies to get polished.

Any of the guy's on here that know me know I can be a little anal when it comes to details.
as far as the kit goes i bought it off a guy in Essex ONT. for $4,800. he bought for his sons car but the son wrote the car off

Hmm, i might have to drop by one day to see the progress.

what else are you planning on upgrading?

Personally, i'd get a nice stage 2 or 3 clutch. and a LSD. instead of blowing all that $$$ on the SVT quaife. i've heard that the stock LSD for the Mini Cooper S is compatible with the SVT's transmission.

The thread was somewhere over on FJ.

IIRC. The SVT and Cooper S use the same getrag transmission, with slightly different gear ratios.
