your profile says Southampton - is that accurate?
If so, there's a chap nr Southampton with a k-series - might be only a 1.4 though. He goes by the name of daftbadger.
I'm not far away (Type-R), nr Wimborne. I'd happily play devil's advocate and take you for a ride in mine.
What "problems" have you read about the type-r? Other than a few bespoke things (I wouldn't advise using the Marlin mounts, if yours are the same as I was supplied with), there's no problem as such. It just won't be the cheapest route.
How old is your chassis? If it's the earlier design rear end, then you'd be well advised to speak to Big Rich and get the shopping list of parts to resolve the back end - it's about £160 (I think), and from what Craig has said, the difference is massive.
