I'm sure I read somewhere that the OE GTiR cams are actually very good but, could do with their timing tweaking ?! If this is true, these would make a very good and cheap power/drivability mod !

The only reason I fitted them was because I've had my head skimmed which mucks up the cam timming so I was told by agra, So these where a cheap fix.

Got a very good service from the seller and he sent it via USPS so no tax/duty to pay lol.

The engine should be finished in the next week or two so I'm told, And the turbo manifold should be here around the same time as well, Mind you god knows what I'm going to do about the inter cooler pipe work and exhaust :doh: :? .

No I'm using Kent fast road cam's, But i would of needed these even with the standard cam, Because as I said having the head and blocked skimmed mucks up the cam timing ;-) .

They also fit the standard cams fine, I checked before I sent them to Agra :thumbsup:.

I had to sell my other cam kit because the head would of needed machining to take the tomie 260x12mm cam's I had at first, I've just gone for the Kent fast road cam's after taking advice from Agra.

I'm still using the standard springs for now, Plus bronze valve guides and a fully gas flowed and ported head.

My set arrived today. I actually bought them before I saw the post but its good to know other people rate them

I chose them becuase of the alloy which is about as good as you get.

£50 delivered to my door, bargain

The "toggle" is just a pin so all you do is take the old cams off whilst holding onto your chain. Take out your chain tensioner. Slip on the new pulleys with the chain and re-fit the chain tensioner. They fit like OE so no problems that I've noticed
