I wanna change the alloys to the 7 spoke ones you can get.. there prodrive I think, and the front splitter.. but apart from that I'm tempted to keep it standard.. do you know if the turbo timers are a good investment on these models? The turbos are oil cooled aswell on these cars aren't they? I think I read that on here somewhere.. If not don't shoot the noob. Lol

They're called prodrive PFF7's.
I wouldn't waste my money on a turbo timer, just drive off boost for a mile or so

Ahh that'll help finding them pal.. are they hard come by? What sort of price would you pay for alloys alone?

Mat the turbo timer is designed for when you finish driving, as when you have been driving hard you need to let you engine idle for a few minutes to avoid damage to the turbo, some people can't be bothered with this hence a turbo timer.

It takes mine about 4 miles in the winter to warm up, try to stay under 3rpm until your engine is upto running temperature, 1 mile your engine will still be cold. Unless your driving in back to back traffic jams


Then

They're expensive as they don't make them anymore - can get replicas a bit cheaper. Though second hand ones seemed to be advertised for £500+, most of the time without tyres.

Could be wrong but think you go on your photobucket account and copy the link with the [img] around the link and then paste it in your message.

Avoid the BK racing versions. Heavy and turn to chalk.
