Shhh...don't suggest such a thing to my Mrs Wink

As far as she's concerned I'm "done" for the moment, but my secret list of things to do includes:

- Importing some side skirts
- Wideband
- New rear roof spoiler
- Laser/Radar camera detector
- Supercharger (or Turbo) Blush
- Valvebody upgrade
- ARBs

Yeah, sounds like a good list, make sure you keep it secret too.
Go turbo mate! Will be very quick.
Do you like the auto box? I'd be looking for change it for a manual if I had a 300.
How about a big brake kit? K-sport do some good deals! Wink

I actually quite like the auto as it goes. Makes for very easy driving and I don't think I'll miss manual until it comes to track days etc.

I've driven a few manual turbo cars and most of them are totally gutless until the turbo kicks in, meaning your always shifting gears in daily driving. I'd much rather have an auto in those circumstances.

The 300 isn't anywhere near as bad of course, but I'm still intrigued how it will feel being able to plant your foot in an auto and just boost, boost, boost,boost continuously.

I might have to book a test drive in one! Smile I have only been driving a couple of years, so the novelty of changing gear hasn't worn off yet!
I'd have to drive a turbo or supercharger for a bit before shelling out all that cash on one. My car is the fastest car I have ever driven, and its quick enough to get me in trouble, so don't think i'll be doing any major performance upgrades soon. Sticking to handling and nice clean looks.

Just ticked another thing off my list of 'wants'. Won this on eBay last night:

[Image: Pogo-Alert-Plus-Hand.jpg]

Pogo Alert+ speed camera detector. Does GPS detection like most satnavs, but also manual radar and laser detection with a gadget mounted behind your front grille Smile

ormi how much was that?????me likey!!

As James S pointed out, they are supposed to be £250 brand new and as they've only been out a couple of months, none of the shops are doing any kinda discounts.

However, I got mine for £115 on eBay as it was an unwanted present. Definitely worth keeping an eye out for 2nd hand ones as I've seen a few pop up for the ~£150 range.

Should come in really handy as I'm going to mount mine on top of the dash where it is in my peripheral vision. Don't have to glance down to check speedo then. Also I think my speedo is about 3mph out too.
