alot of this stuff doesnt come with a kit

I know, I know. But for comparison I got my full engine gasket set from XS Racing for about £95 (including new valve stem seals), you need the intake manifold gasket, sump gasket, crank seal and water pump seal (which should come with a new water pump). I bet that little lot comes close.

Sorry, don't want to dampen the group buy, just saying it might be easier and you get a whole host of other gaskets, which you may as well change while you're building for piece of mind.

Still need to add some more of mine. I'll find 5 minutes tonight. Got some gearbox seals, I want that VTEC solenoid gasket as Nath has kindly added me for. Need to scour the parts catalogue to see what else.

Looking good though guys.

EDIT: Classic, my foolosh mod ways, I actually just posted the above in Phil's own post!

I've heard bad things about the XS racing gaskets.

Might be wrong, but just a couple of folk that i know who ran them.

Yeah, I need at least a description, so I can tell what the part is. To see if its a sump gasket or a HUGE bit of trim, as postage is the most important thing here.

Will get things priced up later today for you

Maybe tomorrow, I've ran out of time today and i'm heading home for dinner. (at 9.10pm!

)

I've definitely read bad things about their turbo's cracking for a past time

The seals look absolutely fine, not as complicated a part as a turbo, plus they outsource the manufacture - can't remember the name. I checked them out and they were fine.

I'd be interested to know what bad experience someone had with a seal/gasket from them - I couldn't find anything scouring the net?

I guess I'm not using the fundamental part the headgasket, but the rest seems really good quality and the ones I've used fit perfectly so far.

Will get these priced very soon guys, we're in the middle of moving to a new bigger unit, so things are a bit hectic just now, with no internet at the new place yet.
