£1800 for TB's in a box from Alpha. That only gives you a rough base map too. You will need to get that re-mapped for best results.

I think they have an extra plate welded on the b-pillers as to stop them cracking where the groove thingy is. Mine is the stronger shell but my mate has a 1.4 on i think an R-plate and his is splitting.

Daz - Don't take my word as gospel but i would say yeah.

just a quick question if you are putting a valver why you need a 1.6, just get a newer shell. Make sure you get a header tank with 2 pipe things on it though the 8v don't
