LET in GTE

[twistysnovagte]

was wondering roughly how much it would cost to have the c20LET in my gte,this would include everything to run the LET aswell as having the front end strenthened etc,rough price guides anyone?:thumb:

[Leeboo]

Engine - ?1000
Fitting Kit - ?500-600
Seam welding - ?Depends
Shafts - ?60-80 for specialised items
Brakes - ?Depends if you go for 16v or v6

Also allow for small niggly problems and service parts

Just from what I have read on the net ^^ might be wrong

[twistysnovagte]

brakes would be v6 items
seam welding would be done by myself or the m8s dad
how you talking labour for someone to plumb it in?

[General Baxter]

Engine - ?1000

that would be one ****ed LET for that price, you looking over ?1400 for a good ish one

and you might not even get the ?300 gear box for that price aswell lol

Depends if you fit the F20 or F28. F28 will add a good ?500 on to the total cost.

[Philsutton]

You can probably gypo one in for 1-2k but it will fall out after a while. To do it right even if you do everything yourself will be easy 3k and some. Your over looking things like intercooler and piping ect.. as well.

?500 for a fitting kit... WTF

[Paul]

?60-80 for shafts, ill take 10 sets please ;)

?120 for vaux ones

?200+ for big cv'd ones

[Martin]

exhaust? custom jobbie.. ?200-500 or a JP? one 1200?

I'd advise buying an already built LET Nova tbh. Cheaper in the long run.

[BenNova]

basically, cheap if you want it to fly out your bonet, but if you want it to stay put and your car to move, we suggest you sepd a little more.

[twistysnovagte]

would it be any cheaper to buy a full doner car and use all thats possible?:)

[Ryan5cyl]

I'd keep your GTE as it is as there can't/won't be too many around, and buy a decent condition LET Nova, or sell the GTE and put it towards one.

[Paul]

a decent spec LET Nova to buy/build costs ?5k upwards,

Lets face it a 100k LET isnt going to last long ?1k for original engine, its ?1.5-2k to have rebuilt even to a standard spec, brakes minimum price is ?150, Re-trim interior/new seat ?500+, Cage ?300+, ^ speed ?500 by time its done, clutch ?100+, Shafts+Engine Kit ?300, Plate kit/stitch welding anything up to ?500, re-paint ?1k, Wheels ?400ish, Suspension ?200+, Exhaust ?150+ The list goes on and on.

Realistically once mine is done if I were to sell it would be a ?6k price tag.
