You must be VERY excited.
D'You reckon you could have Wildcat take step by step pictures of the instal that you could post up for us,...I'm sure you'd have a huge audience.

Just left the port after 2 hrs sleep Big Cry

The wildcat guys are promising me plenty of details and updates, they have 5 defenders in the workshop at the minute so I will grab some pics later today. Andy

Very excited for you. Oh and jealous, very jealous. I hope to know within the week if I can, in principal, follow the same path. Curious to know about the exhaust set up by the way (single, twin, quad etc etc). Pics and most definitely YouTube video of her firing up and revving please. 30mins worth would do it!!

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Mmm, a step by step guide. But maybe Wildcat would lose customers as we all tinker in our own garages!! Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

Well no, not in reality, what is happening here is a little above "tinker". I, & probably many others, wish it wasn't, but it is,,..to do this job properly is simply beyond most, whether ya see a few pics, & words or not.
The cost, Twenty five thousand pounds ( not including brakes, suspension etc) PLUS, demonstrates the complexity of what's happening here, even to get the original Puma dash to work as in OE is a complex issue.
I wish I had the dollars (or pounds!).

This remains the case for Bowler's 'big brake kit', which at £4200 is over double what the equivalent Alcon kit costs. Mmm.


the alcon kits are over 3k for fronts alone... as is the ap racing..


another idea for the rear instead of the seats would be a big sub / amp combo,

ive started getting quotes in for the one im building to go in my truck,

it will house a hertz hdp1 & hdp4 amp with a HX300D sub between...

Well all delivered, dropped back to the airport and having a pint now. Took me 6 hours. This is one of the cleanest installs I have seen, here is one started last Friday and due to be started up today. They now have 5 including mine in the workshop.

Moderators where are you when I need you

This topic should be deleted before it causes serious financial harm to forum members

On a serious note I cannot wait to see it finished what with your attention to detail & a superb V8

Now I suppose as a company commercial vehicle we can get the vat back on the upgrade I really need an auto for a dodgy leg so better to have a better matched engine & gearbox Whistle 2020 P300 HSE
