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

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.
