I think you should transfer the duties over to me, as I have hours and hours on end to piss about with the internet, so I could update it regularly.

Thanks

You don't have to replace them if the head comes off, the head is easier to line up when you put it on, there is more clamping force and you don't have to mess about with tightening by angle to stretch the bolts.

for the launch control/flat shift, could you not have a steering wheel with 2 horn buttons for them?

are you likely to be replacing fuses that often and replacing them whilst driving. Cant help thinking that space could be used for something more important!

Only about £4k.

They charge £15k for a 226bhp engine with one on it.

To the public obviously.
