Wheels?
Seats?
Carbon Body panels?

How is it on fuel with the mods?
I may get some carbon panels. My winter project is sorting out the paint. It's got some stone chips on the bonnet and a scratch on the door so I'll look into probably carbon bonnet and boot lid. Love the seats so they'll be staying and the wheels aren't too heavy really and I've not seen any I prefer.

Fuel wise I can't remember exactly but I worked it out back along and I was getting better MPG than my mates R32 and alot better than my old supercharged VR6. Think it was around 19-20mpg around town on Vpower and T99. About a tank full per month. New mani and map should improve it with all the extra torque

I am up for taking part in that - a group buy sounds like a great idea. I sat through the whole video, which was tedious to say the least, but the actual end results looked good.

Do you find you crunch gears more or less now? I dont crunch much myself, but just wondered if the shorter throw increased the chances of this?
