basically, if you can stump up the initial cost the conversion is free if you do it yourself.. if courtenays do it you will probably have to pay abotu 2k extra.

we went to rickingham few weeks back on track day!
poor showing of vauxhalls there but there was 1 vx220 that had nitrons, semi slicks, seems pretty good spec it was a turbo and i was really dissapoited in it, i never came up againt him in the van but i honestly would have been pretty confident in giving him a good race for him money which i was shocked about!
:-( oh yea and he managed to put it into the tires and wreck clam, light, windscreen and some bits behind so he was definatly trying!

i went over and spoke to him afterwards and seemed to have done quite a few trackdays and had the car few years so guessed he must have have been ok! i have only done 2 track days in van so dont think i am good!

I think that sounds shit  Am I not into cars enough to know any better?
The workmanship for a DIY job is excellent right enough, respect for that.

as i said before the camera picks up the noise of the supercharger and enhances it on video making it appear louder and more in your face than it actually is.
