castle main? Do you mean Castlemaine in Victoria? Castletown in WA? If you are not sure what you are saying, get it done at Rush. If you really have no idea what you are saying, it might be safest not do anything at all.

ill be honest i sometimes dont know what im talking about when it comes down to all the lingo. thats why im a member of soarer central to get information and opionions on my options.as for knowing what im doing, well i've never paid any one for working on my cars unless its fitting a custom exaust or getting a wheel alighnment and have built some pretty nice cars.I have asked rush about his conversion kit and now i am comparing.

Yep compare away but considering Neil's daily driver is pretty much what you want to achieve...

Do you want to do all the mechanicals by yourself?
