If im completly honest with you mate im not a fan of body kits. Future plans will probably be that spoiler, not to fussed about the tailgate tbh, erm 15" multi alloys in black or something, get a bigger exhaust and probably a rear splitter. aint got much plans sorced yet lol

Youd know if you had TB's !! Pop a picture up of your engine bay if you want us to confirm it for you!
I'd say the engine was standard and just in better condition/you're a better driver hence being able to keep up. A 4-2-1 manifold isnt going to make one car quicker than the other tbh, especially on a standard engine.
Stadard yours is 98, and his is now 107 - not a massive difference tbh especially if his engine needs a service etc.
