£213 from Jap Perf Garage
Other options were £145 from some bloke on SN, £380 for a Pace Aluminium one....but either of those wouldnt arrive until next Thursday/Friday, I needed to get the car going again.
Fancied a nice Alu one......but think im going to get a few engine goodies in Summer - FMIC

I was working on the driveway in darkness (only had a torch to see what I was doing and that run dead ) with limited tools, 1/2hr of that included 'borrowing' old mans car to go to halfords and took about an hour to get all the air out of the system.
Oh and had my tea half way thru Was really only like 20mins to disconnect and 20mins to fit new 1.
Yeah I could probably rip the engine out of one in 40mins too if I was more prepared

Not much difference Imports are generally like that tho, uprated part same cost as standard part (almost on some parts) especially something like a REX
