thats quite cheap seemes the mini tec kit is 1800 to the door what will you do about drive shafts now
If like me you get that allspeed frame as above and also there own rose jointed tie bars/lower arms (tie bars are kinked for caliper clearance) and there heavy duty CV's and driveshafts along with the front alternator bracket then your looking about £1500 all in
That allspeed frame is the most easiest out there by far if your using a clubman or extended front, everything on it is a dead easy fit, clear instructions and help from Rob when needed, best thing is alot of people have used it so help is at a click of a button, the frame is pure clubman though so if your going standard length then minitec comes into play here
Frames looking Jamie 
have a good look at the instructions so you can think ahead of anything else that needs doing now, you will need to shave off a section on the steering rack and use countersunk bolts on it and shave off a small section on the back of the diff case, together this will give you some much needed extra mm of space, any clearance made just means less chance of knocks and bangs when your out on the road, and when the clearances are just 3-5mm..........it matters 
If you need some pics where to cut then just holla
p.s aint you meant to unwrap gifts under the tree tomorrow? 
Thanks a lot Kam! (Got another name, or is it just Kam?)
I've read and read and read the instructions, got nothing else to do at night! Will shave the steering rack down some time over the christmas break! Currently fighting with the intake manifold - got it off, but cant find my grinding disks, or even cutting disks! So will be onto that tommorow, after all the official bits and bobs have been done, and I get a few hours garage time whilst dinner cooks.
Going to have to wait to get the shell rolling before I can even think about putting the engine in, as it has to be done outside due to the lack of an engine crane... So, will be another few weeks till I can get myself a cone compressor, and a new set of cones. Wont be back at work till after new year, but will have a hefty bonus coming after doing some insurance work!
Couldnt ask for a few pictures of how you originally mounted your rad, could I?
But, but, but... It wasn't the main tree, and it was already open when I put it there... surely that counts for something?
There'll be goodies under the tree tommorow I think... I feel wires, not that I've been shaking my presents
Wires should equal the minitec loom that I was hinting at a few months ago!
We will see! Thanks for all your help so far by the way! Merry christmas too you and the family dude!
