16v being noisey first thing in the morning is not unusual especially if its been modifed with performance cams so the tappets take longer to build up pressure i found using the lighest oil i could get (0/40w)in synthetic form has eliminated the noise completely even at first start up

too many speed humps and traffic lights

i think you can get it re-chipped or the ecu can be re-mapped,also the exhaust changed for a de-cat exhaust system should unleash 15 bhp alone
-

ps 4 and a half litres is how much i put in mine but it does have a mocal oil cooler fitted so that uses a bit more
-
make sure u get a semi synthetic oil 1.8 16v dont run well on anything else

-
i would imagine it would cause extra stress on the wheel bearings
-

-
saw a vr6? outside huets in tarring road worthing with 17s? in 5 spoke dark coloured possibly dark green

yet a standard 16v is quicker than a standard G60 and engine parts are cheaper prefer 16v myself but there again i am biased lol
