What is the difference between Adjustable and Fixed ones? Apart from the obvious lol.

Also what are the advantages/disadvantages of each type :)

They look quite different.

at least it doesn't have funky balancer shaft thingies.

the ones on teh saab are wearing down :confused: and its going to cost around £480 JUST for the parts. fitting ain't THAT hard, only got to pull the bloody engine adn g'box out (n)
cheaper than running a 911 turbo though, but just as fast in a straight line I'd imagine
