Ya, problem is the kits are about $1600US... right now our exchange is aweful... costs about 1.5 times as much... plus 15% tax, potential customs fees, and shipping... Would end up being about $3000 Canadian... tough to justify on a student budget. Add the wheels, tires, H-pipe I'll need, and potential suspension mods, and we're talking some serious coin.

(my 'budget' engine rebuild and upgrades this year cost me about 6 G's). It's tough being a Canadian student... and the line of credit is almost maxed out ;-( But I'll quit whining.

It's probably easiest to just go the SN95 route... it'd improve braking, not break the bank, and allow future upgrades.

I don't have any plans for track use in the near future, so the lighter fox should do fine on the street.
