Hey Chow, I think you will find that the KAD 5 speed box is a hell of a lot more than A$3000. I ought to know, I bought one.

Having gone through all this recently, I can understand the effort he would go to to put the car together without damaging any painted or polished surface and then hope that something stupid doesn't pop up. Like a leaking welsh plug, oil leak, non functioning carb, or anything. It would be heartbreaking to damage that beaut finish chasing out niggling faults.

What type of arches are those and where can i get them?

If you reread my post, you'll see that I said these prices are in POUNDS, not dollars. Being Australia though, we don't have the appropriate sign for POUNDS so I just used the dollar sign. And like I said.....the prices (in POUNDS), came directly from the KAD, JKD, Minisport etc websites.

When will people learn to read??

Mate, before you carry on with the d!ickhead sarcasm, how about you actually read the post in its entirety??

EDIT: THere is more than one Minisport. Being that this car is BRITISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've used prices from the BRITISH Minisport website. The Australian price in Australian dollars is for Australian people buying from Australian Minisport in AUSTRALIA!!!

If you want to display the £ sign, it is [alt] 0163 on the numeric keypad.

They are not 10s.
The yokohama A048R aren't available in 10". And they don't even look like 10s anyway...

Thanks Dr Mini.....maybe we can avoid idiots half reading posts and then shooting their mouths off in future??
