new daily driver
trouble is mark everyone will think you've got chlamydia, for two reasons. Firstly your advertising this fact wearing a STI label, and secondly you will be also be joining the chavs. There quick enough and handle well, theyre also sorta practical with the 4wd etc, but honestly if I had one it would have a few dents and be filthy as I would use it as a proper hack, imo there pig ugly and pikey as.

What's it called and what does it do?
The sensors are pretty generic and cheap in all fairness.

brakes
silverline is looking at producing them, they do make a bit of difference but they arnt a substitute too better brakes, the benefits are mostly cosmetic in most peoples opinion. a set of claipers from a r33 with the 350 discs would be far better.

whats needed help
have a good read about, certainty in the states they will run 500 bhp on stock intercoolers, I think the problem comes when your doing multiple boosts, still it isn't going to hurt is it. It should reduce charge temps and be safer to run more power. I think its probably wise but not fully essential.

DIY zwork
Sorry to see this, how did the sealant get to the turbos? the pickup has a gauze on it does it not? that should stop any large items from being taken through the oil circulation system. Unless the oil tree or something post oil pickup has had sealant put on it? bit confusing that. I suppose the failed bearing caused excessive shaft play which was the cause of the impellor damage? When I did mine, we popped the fuel fuse and primed the engine until oil could be seen in the head through the filler cap, then twice more for good luck, would you say that's satisfactory?

Your not going to get any better at it by not pushing yourself. You just have to accept if it goes wrong theres no one to fall back on but yourself.

very strange
Jack the front up and check for play, sounds like somethings loose, wherls steering arm etc. it would need to be a friggin rock to make the steering shake. All depends on how pronouced it is, you should still have a good inspect just in case.
