If you are just after an inlet camshaft, Vocky may have some laying around.   However I will say that I bought an engine earlier in the year and they still offered the same cost. Phone them and ask.

Really, at £800+VAT? Their website says £995+VAT. Anyways, it is still a mind boggling price for a BNIB engine so I shouldn't even complain :D

I have a set of new b207 camshafts from these engines Not sure if it's what you want ??

Yes. In fact I would be a happy chap with just the inlet camshaft, see I already got the exhaust cam. PM me your offer. Just make sure it is the R version :) Like many of you guys, I sit in my garage looking at the increasing parts list for rebuilding my engine and in fact it is less hassle and not that expensive really, to buy that new lump. Still on the fence on that one though. Of course I'd like to get it as cheap as possible if I decide for the BNIB engine :) Im about to build a ~350hp B207 for my hrm...errr.... 9-3. I still miss some gaskets, a R inlet cam, a SAAB valve cover, a new inlet manifold valve(that plastic one), chains and tensioners and all bearings.

All I no is that it's a set of camshafts for the. b207 From this group buy not sure if the R ones are the same as the EL ones If you can find that out then your welcome to them for a stupidly low price as I have no need for them

I believe I read somewhere it was the R version ordered in the group buy. The camshafts are quite tricky to tell apart by the naked eye. There are no numbers or easy marks to find. I set them up and measure the lift, see attached pic.

My VXR 6 speed works a treat now, All the teething problems have been sorted, I have been told Quaife are making uprated parts for this gear box.

Yupp, that is my favorite. Quite accurate actually and a lot fun than the regular ones found at eBay. I got it from a local garage sale. You should see the box. Let me see if I can find a pic.

Not spoken with the company this year so best idea is to give them a call.

And ask if the group buy still is on you mean? Because they do have it in stock but to a totally different price :)

Yes. Say that you are off this forum and ask if they will honor or near enough match the group buy price that was organised last year.
