I never sat in a Pre 07 car.
But I'm 6ft 3" with a 34" inside leg and fit comfortable in my HR car.
I'm not built like the preverbal outhouse but I am wide across the shoulder.
Putting tape over the km/h and changing for mph is a method many importer uses when they change the clocks over to read miles. Much cheaper than a new cluster.
Easy way to check.
Use a sat Nav to measure one mile travelled. Compare with odo at start and finish.
I fitted a Nismo dual I take.
Tool about 90 mins (including coffee break).
Skinned a couple of knuckles, but that's about it.
The Nismo creates a nice induction noise.
There's actually next to feck all difference between a P2 and P3.
But as said above, if your plugs haven't been changed, then get that done.
I don't know of any reliable independants down your way. Someone may be along to help with that shortly.
Many of you know I have a thing for yank V8's.
As such, I want this. Badly.

The annoying thing is it's not like when looking at the £70k stingrays and knowing it's a pipedream at best. This one is easily attainable. So a kidney has to go. Or.....I wonder if my wife would notice if one of the twins was no longer around?...
Buy a Manual NA and do a single Turbo conversion
I considered buying an auto TT and doing a 6 speed conversion but both conversions end up costing more than just buying the manual at the start. Most people say the auto box is much better than the manual though
I did alot of research into them back in 2008 when my ex was wanting one. I was told the same about the Auto box. Many seemed to prefer them due to the sheer wall of acceleration.
I still wouldn't have an auto box though.
I'm tempted by an NA as a hobby car. They can be picked up for £2500.
If you car has been serviced annually since 2004 your service should be a P1 (minor).
2005 - P1
2006 - P2
2007 - P1
2008 - P3 (this is the expensive one)
2009 - P1
2010 - P2
2011 - P1
2012 - P3
2013 - P1
