Rest seems about right price wise. Gav's given you some pointers

Factor in:
  • new headgasket
  • arp rod bolts (I *REALLY* recommend these... standard rod bolts are made of sticky toffee).
  • You'll need a header tank too for your rad.
  • Clutch? 200ft/lb is much too much for standard clutch. Go single plate 6 paddle (see john @ gmc).
  • GT17 is watercooled - remember to get pipes etc, and figure out routing.
  • Spark plugs.
  • Remote oil filter relocation kit - pretty sure the miltek manifold is fouled with even the slim oil filter (renault 5) when it's got a takeoff for oil cooler.
  • Jubilee Clips - you'll be surprised how many you'll need - don't skimp here. Somewhere around £50 will be ok.

    There's lots more - but there's a few bits for you
Thanks a lot for that. So if the gt17 is watercooled, does that mean it doesnt need an oil feed and return back to the sump?
