if your car only has 65k on it mate i wood leave it as a g40. coss if you go for turbo think you will kill it. but its your car man

ummm.. plan is to do it all properly not run silly boost... make it drivable...lsd/wish bone subframe/adjustable coilies...

did plan to keep it standard but plannin on a transition to long term weekend fun from daily...

you planning on running this totally standard???

considering how it looked when you bought it and the fact it was only running ( i use the term loosely) on 3 cylinders, pretty good job i say and all in under six months with a job with long shifts = result

just dont rub it in if mines still in bits in 6 months :p
