I'd always prefer to buy new too but im quite tempted by the gearbox. I still cant decide on management though & im thinking about trying to have everything setup & runing at easter, certainly before the summer.
Got a mate with a redtop corsa who wants to prove its a better track car than a saxo, so i dont fancy trying it without at least some mapped cams

Haha.  Some semi-slicks and a well set up suspension will get you round the track quicker than the camshafts mate.

Ah he has slicks on his cus he frequents the quarter mile so i said road tyres only to save me some coin. Its just straights im worried about, last time i saw the corsa it was moving pretty sharpish, i imagine it handles like vanessa feltz, hes never been one for suspension & brake setups
His first corsa was lowered on DIY cut springs

Omex/KMS
KMS is more pricey but what differences for the money?
Which is better...

I get them direct i know the people who designed the ECU, own the company etc but i thought they sold them for around £500 ish? you looking for the 600 series? Omex is a brilliant ECU and very capable, very good value for money. If you want to do it on the cheap then Megasquirt is a decent ECU that could be had for a few hundred.

Well after making another couple of calls today and also speaking to Josh (jpsaxo for those that dont know) i am buying a KMS
Buying it from QEP who said that have absolute confidence in and can supply it all for a good price.
They also confirmed as did Josh that with the adapter loom that can be bought with it that it is as close to plug in and play as can be AND josh said he'll help with the wideband display as he's done it with no problems
The additional bonus is that QEP supply the ECU with a base map suited to your setup i.e cams for no extra charge
this will run pleasantly enough then for me to drive the car and get a few 'run in miles' on the clock before getting it mapped at the prime choice of GMC who also argue that the KMS is brilliant.
