u need:

PVD conversion kit
C20LET engine, ecu, wiring loom (optional but id think worth it, F28 gearbox with PVD 2wd conversion kit)
Uprated brakes, go on mig web, V-Tuning will sort u out a V6 brake kit for £200
Uprated suspension - best is coilovers

then some 1 to fit the engine,ecu,wiring loom and gear box, beardy in manchester does it for £2500, Lee in Kent im not sure

courtney, ha ha ha, £5000!!!

or if u know a mate thats a machanic who fancies his chances av a go
