Probably nothing you'd ever notice. Only sound difference

Gearbox whine. I'd chuck some sawdust in it. Should quieten it down.

Sounds awesome, love that noise!

Definitely sounds louder than mine though, that could be the 1% pulley difference and the intercooler though!

What wheels have you gone for? Like Gav said, you need coilovers next! I want Meister R's, but they're just over £700

The charger noise doesnt change regardless of how much you poke the throttle as its tied into the revs, all that is altered is how much boost is vented out, eg none at full throttle, more at part etc

Get any advice from Mini Torque about wheels? If so they're likely to be expensive

Yeah i'm tempted by AP coilovers as well, but i'd like to have camber and damper adjustment

High chance that these wheels are going to be shit if they are anything like as bad taste as the wheels on Facebook the other day

I HAVE A MORAL DILEMMA

At the moment I have two almost new Continental Sport contact 3s on the rear that I will be swapping to the new wheels.

I have two shitty hankook tyres on the front but still with plenty of tread left.

I can either buy another 2 matching Continental Tyres for the fronts at a cost of £260, or get the Hankooks transferred across and buy some AP coilovers instead??
