well its like most expensive mods - find a buyer who wants a car with it fitted, and you will get more than a standard car for it when you come to sell smile

I have it , and have been very pleased , they have recently announced the new 300s kit which I am seriously considering.

the 280s feels very much like a factory set up, by which mean it is realy quite refined , no holes in the map , and an absolutely rampant top end

the only problem with it is if you go this route , you will probably want to do the brakes , dampers , springs etc.
then you start thinking about a LSD

they have a good review of a 280s car on the web site (not mine) , which I would say gives a fair impression

Do they upgrade the clutch or gearbox to handle the extra torque. I've heard the standard items are near the max they can take ?

They do a clutch upgrade as an option . my origional is still fine at the moment , but I may well look to get the upgrade when it starts to wear out , and possibly have an LSD put in at the same time

is Bedford 95db or 98db ?
Rockingham, Silverstone & Anglesea have been ok
but it isn't the quietest
I would think that 98db should be fine , but would imagine that 95db would be a problem.

I had a 2bular GT3 before on it before the 280s kit, and don't think it is much noisier

I also have a different exhaust manifold , so that might make a difference to the std kit , but I wouldn't think much
