I got a set of A539's for peanuts 2 months ago so they're sat in the garage waiting to go on when the toyos become bald.

I dunno what intercooler they're using. I'll ask when I call on wednesday.

I've got a G60 setup from a corrado on the front. I have to run at least 15's to clear them. no biggy though.

UPDATE:

heh. a mate's dad bought a pajero not so long ago and his insurrance took off his turbo timer when they installed an alarm so I'm getting it for cheap.

not sure that my alarm is going to do though. it auto-imobilises after 30 seconds.

we'll see. I'll go steady after shatting myself on the first 'boot' ;D

yeah '6. I figured there's a PAS pump already on the engine I'd ask if they could so they did. Free of charge too which was nice of them.

They uprated all the suspension to 16v too to help with the slight increase in weight. hopefully it won't feel any harsher than it was. G60 brakes on the front too which I mentioned earlier.

They're replaced the following too as it was getting a bit worn:
Passanger side Wish bone heavily rusted. ( ?30 +VAT Suplied and fitted)
Bushes in Drivers side wish bone need replacing ( Quicker and cheaper to replace whole wishbone for a new one with bushes( ?30 +VAT Suplied and fitted))
All 3 engine mounts (They're ok for now, but may need changing with the extra power from the 1.8T ?30+VAT for the front, ?20+VAT for Gearbox rear and ?40 +VAT for engine rear.)
ARB bushes on Wishbones (both sides) Heavily warn. (?20+VAT suply and fit both sides)
and Top suspension mounts as mentions earlier. (?15 +VAT a side supply and fit)

all apart from the engine mounts I did. I only just replaced them!

They're putitng TT clocks in, but not mounting them. I have to do that myself. they wouldn't cut up my dash even though I said they could.
