   Thinking maybe you havent got a VTR...? I cant see how changing a disc setup for a drum setup would be alot cheaper? you 100% sure you have a vtr? not a 1.1 with a vt kit?

    And the brake pipes are different?
    
    Is it a 1.4 or a 1.6?
    I think furio's from parts foreign were called vtr's
