No, from a geometry point of view, they're identical.

Stu,

Did you ever get a chance to speak to Neos and see if they might be able to hold the price for a few more weeks?

Cheaper to buy a VXT/Europa/Yotamota Elise lower wishbone than dicking about with the internals of a brand new engine. Would still like to see a picture of Kieran's setup in comparison to Ultimate's.

Photos will be on the way next week when I get the car back

These engines, would they have been bench tested? If storing for a while would they have been greased up enough to prevent corrosion. When I get mine it will be stored out in the garage for a while, is there any special precautions that I should take to ensure everything runs ok once installed?

Is the sensor position not dictated by the teeth on the new trigger wheel and where TDC is on the OE crank pulley? :unsure:
