They'll be incredibly rare in a few years time and might even increase in value if you put it all back properly.

It was a thought of mine but I can't help but want to do something different :'(

Price info has been released for the bolt on sequential converter.
Converts to roughly £1700.
Which is a few shades more than I'm willing to pay. Can get a 2nd hand t56 box for that price!

Does your powered steering not work at all Carl? When I collected my car from Gary's after the paddles and mapping had been done, both Gary and Matt commented on how heavy my steering was.It is slightly heavy but only the same as I run it last year.I must be retarded or forgetful because I thought it was normal.Then I remembered you commented about yours at the NW meet and said it was because it had no speed input from the non standard gearbox.Well mine doesn't either but it must have some sort of base setting because mine is quite usable if just a little bit heavy.
I remember MB having trouble with his and saying it was to heavy to be usable.

If I remember rightly when the speed comes from the sensor the wire splits and one goes off to the ecu and one goes to the eps unit. How have you managed to get the dash speed work? Eps unit also needs a wire from the ecu for revs I think(I'm going from memory here) so it knows the engine is started!
