Only boring spending for me recently. Bought all the service parts today, mate gets them at trade price so can't complain.
5-40 fully synth shell oil, oil filter, metal impellor water pump, cam belt kit, NKG platinum plugs, and a fuel filter (Thought why not, think it was £3.50 lol)

Will be a mint runner for anyone interested ;) tell your family and friends :lol:

Where you gettin the cambelt done to daz? And how much did it all cost?


I'm still waitin on my Aero wipers, i'm tamping. Fitted my 3 gauges tho and started working on the gauge pod for the steering wheel, it fits but needs a bit of work. I'll post pics tomorrow.

A mate said he would do it for a few quid. The lot came to £150ish I think not sure yet, it all went on his works account. Gotta pay him tomorrow.
Hoping to get it done next week at his place of work. Need 2 tyres next. Boring.

lol i hate the thought of a k03s conversion. i'd do it if my turbo was fudged but i wouldnt waste the money otherwise. if i was gonna go for a bigger turbo, I'd actually go for something that is bigger rather than something the same size which is just a little more efficient.

i know its abit better but still just doesn't seem worth the bother at the end of the day

would have to be a GT2x if i was gonna go through the hassle

much just rather a new car though tbh

Bit of both really carl.

Hell of a lot of hassle to go for a GT2X tho, havent seen anywhere that will map it yet without goin to management or travel to Scotland for star to do it.

And plus its costs 1k plus, maf, injectors, tip, fitting and mapping to give you 280-290bhp, when you consider you can pick up a k03s for under 200 quid, fitting bits is about 30 quid if that and its already mapped for it, and it'll give you 240-250bhp. Not much slower for a lot less money.

If i was goin for something i'd probably go GTRS. Revo stage 3.

yeah i know cost effective the k03s isn't too bad, in total though i think it cost daz about 500quid after fitting. but at the end of the day its not a very big jump, how many people have gone for a k03s and within 3-6 months they want something new already... personally i think 250bhp is bull ****, a hand full of people have come away with those sort of figures, all with custom maps and all dyno'd on the mappers RR. k03s with custom map and k03s with revo st2 i'd very much like to see...and i'd bet on 235bhp max for both

didnt even keep Daz happy very long, to me if your gonna go for it it might as well be worthwhile. i know nothing will keep us happy for ever but i reckon id be very disappointed with a k03s, its just so over hyped

if my turbo needed replacing though i would get one...might as well if you need a new one anyway innit
