seems a good price is 450 quid, an average price is 700, a high price is 1000 plus.

ebay is not best - motorcycle news, yellow pages for local bike breakers to you, yorkshire race engines, pro-motive ( they can supply engines as well you know ), southern bike spares,
and shed loads more on here.................

also from personal experience (as can been seen on my car on ultimate mini madness) coil overs are'nt really the thing for a fwd R1 mini, they reduce the suspension travel by a fair bit. i went back to rubber donuts and they made a big difference so i wouldnt waste your money.

If you stil have some doubt about kit. i will tell you my story.
I send mail to Phil and Darren in late august, just to ask some questions. i quickly decided to buy kit, then i had to find engine. Phil was so nice and help me pick one from ebay. They made all wiring loom conversion and i receive kit and engine in sept.( note that i am from Slovenia) Kit is so easy to fit and all thing are perfectly fit. So i was driving with my R1 mini on 18th of sept. i needed only 5 days to fit. Everything was so fast that i forget to take pictures on different stages. This kit is fastest way to be on a road again.
Quaife LSD is real fun to drive.
