All the same price plus belt and colder plugs will take you to 120 odd.
Can pick up a cooler second hand for between 150 - 300
Whats your plans for the exhaust? You could do the one ball mod which removes a back box for next to nothing.

colder heat grade you nonce

as in a larger number.

If I ran BKR6 whatever on my impreza now i'd melt them, but the BKR8 whatevers last.

We use 9's on the Skyline.

They are referred to as colder but unsure why, as they are needed in 'hotter' engines running more boost etc

Ditch run flats, when I done that it became far more planted. On our shit roads and you are pushing on the run flats cause the car to get skittish.

Roughly the same as my 200 then, over 200 miles averaged 33.4mpg.

Will you take this to the 'ring trips now, or is the puma still road legal?

my old mini





i took the runflats off due to the noise and harsh ride, seemed to be a lot quieter and more planted to drive afterwards. Only thing i changed was the exhaust for a cat back Janspeed twin round stainless system and sounded nice . Ended up hating how much fuel it used with me having to drive out of my home town when im home from work to get anywhere.

Yeah, they're the standard dials. You can get a small speedo next to the rev counter if it has sat nav or the dials Stoneyginger has (can't remember the name of the option)

Just read how to install the supercharger pulley. More of a ballache than I thought. I could do it but after buying all the removal tools and belt tensioner tools it may be just as cheap and less hassle to get Lohen to do it.

Iv emailed them for a fitted price. Can see them vastly inflating their labour costs though as per most of the modifying industry so may well end up doing it myself
