Eibachs and quickshift will change the feel of the car and others things will change the appearance, its up to you which you choose, personally id get a quickshift and eibachs if the moneys there
Yes but the actual engine runs better at the right heat and aslong as you shield the air intake from the heat then it ultimatly runs better hotter, mean running temp will be slightly lower depending on driving time agreed
engine runs better when its at its optimal temperature not cooler, plus all it does is open earlier so the coolant runs around the radiator and takes longer to heat up, it will eventually get to the same temperature
If your car was meant to run on higher octane fuels then its probably better to use higher octane fuels to reduce the risk of retarding, my 16v was only meant to use 95 so thats all it gets :D
There is apparently some sort of policy that all insured drivers contribute to that you dont know about, its for things just like this, shouldnt lose your NCB
Thats fine mate, the oil level only comes on at initial start up for around 15 seconds and the oil pressure will be low when your driving normally, see if the pressure rises when you first turn it on then settles
