i definitely agree with the opened motor... even though from bonnet open to starting the car, the cam install in my car took 26 mins.
no sway bar, and their suspension setup isnt even steet legal. (i am only saying cheating on their suspension setup). If i could be bothered it would be interesting to see what mine would do on a similar setup
but i think the main point is, to get out there, have a crack, and walk away with a smile on your dial.
