My concern was how hot they run as standard. In the summer after a blast over the dukes pass I couldn't touch my bonnet, add a big intercooler blocking flow to the radiator and a remapped car running hotter, that was a concern for me
interesting!, i only really play racing games too which don't seem to be too CPU intensive. My workstation in my man cave I run a 6700k and that system is what 5 years old now? and I'm in no rush to replace it either, I've never kept a main system for 5 years in my life and I've been building my...
Good spec that with the GT spoiler and speedlines, shame it has no cup pack but easily added!
needs to loose the bling under the bonnet and on the intake piping imo!

the panel you have removed with cruise control button
steering wheel with cruise buttons and i think you will need the squib if your not already pre wired there too, also an airbag with the cut...

nice to see it when you finally get a set of xenons for it, last time i was trying to get a set i found it easier to just buy a clio initiale and swap the...
Sorry other end of the country from me! Full cards turn up for £500 ish so it's worth keeping your eyes open however some of them are tidy enough it would be better just to use it than re shell it to yours
Yes either a donor car or last time I done one I just done a deal with the breakers where I gave them £300 for the car and stripped it bare over 8hrs and left them the shell
You will need:
Engine
Gearbox
Engine wiring loom
Matching ECU, uch and transponder from the key from the doner car.
You will be able to keep your current interior wiring loom and it will just plug into your new engine loom under the passengers scuttle panel.
You can run your standard brakes as...
