That's what I got my leather seats from, including all the motors and switches (which I binned), bargain at £30.

Still got the heating elements in, might wire 'em up before winter

I would,as a tow car.Turbo's can be sqiffy on these though.I've known them to last 12k.Easy to fix.Fault lies in all the engine beathers being blocked and shagging the oil and then the turbo.They all need cleaning every 24k ish.

It has even had a few laps round my local track when the car it pulled there broke!!

you guys are pinching my ideas !!!

hes been a bit optimistic with power levels tho!! . mine has a chip and it isnt 250 hp , i can tell ya

my orginal turbo had 170k on it before i changed it for a T04e .

yes the breathers block up , and oil in the turbo gets pressurised , therefore it smokes , drill the little nipple out , and it cures it . that doesnt really shag the turbo .

have you not seen what they can do ?
