"very likely" again depends on more factors than just a list of "interested" or "possibly interested" parties
see the thread on topgear's lsds, if you really wish to trace the ups and downs of a group buy
Sadly, Matt's right. Historicly, many people who get caught up in the enthusiasm suddenly develop short arms & long pockets when it come time to start handing over some cash & I stand by several of the things I said.
1. Things always cost more than you think. [sometimes, a lot more]
2. If you can bolt the 'complete' kit on your engine & start it up for under $5,000 Au then think of it as Xmas.
We need to factor in all of the extras in the final analasys. This could include intake manifold & exhaust fabrication, ignition system & even engine mount upgrades as I doubt that original 1200 rubbers will handle 150PS or more for very long. Clutch & even gearbox upgrades may well factor into this overall cost as well. Think about it.
It is my fervent hope that it will be less than that sum, but if it isn't, then I won't be geting a nasty shock.
Somebody said something about not being rare? I would think, after discounting the few unobtainable originals, that even 40 kits, across the globe with a population well over six billion souls, would have to be regarded at least as 'uncommon'
In fairness to everyone, please lets not delude ourselves into thinking we can buy a whole kit for beer money.
Oh yeah, I still think it's worth it.
