I know its been asked a million times, but can anyone tell me EXACTLY what bits i would need aswell as the engine to do the conversioin.
Afriend at a local garage would be doing the fitting cheap, and id like a list of all needed bits...
i already have coilovers and V6 front brakes, wat else do i need, is there a fitting kit??
thanks
