It depends on what you want to do really and quite a lot of the manufactoers add custom skins on top of the native operating system. Phones can be 'tuned' in terms of software stuff, if your the kind of guy who wants to buy a phone and just use it and be happy with it then something like samsung, HTC, lg etc would be good for you. If your interested in custom Roms, kernels, root and stuff like that then get a nexus. The specs for the better ones these days are 2gb ram and 1080p screen. Try and get something with a snapdragon 800 processor as they kick ass, 2.26ghz and pretty good on battery.

In a shed
Washed it for the first time in weeks. Longest I've left it due to **** weather/effort needed. Also cleaned and hoovered interior and put in new deodorizer and promised myself not to smoke inside anymore (for the tenth time).

New thermostat (took bl**dy ages!) but I have a warm interior now, washed, new ice white bulbs in the front all round.

Top tip, when changing front right fog light bulb, I noticed the inter cooler was slightly blocked my leaf litter, for the 2 minutes it takes to remove the light and clean out behind it, I'd recommend folks checking their car!

All depends on which turbo for how easy it is, k03s is very easy but k04 not so

from the cat back is only what I got, was looking at the sports cat but prices are pretty silly, as then if you buy a de cat then the sports cat fit and weld then its abit more of a bother to do so may as well buy the whole lump.
but if your handy with the spanners then your be ok I find, nice bot of fun with angle grinder, bolt become well hot, turbo glowing hot;)exhaust note isn't bad either the focus RS I like the sound of but then after all its a Volvo lump.good video by the way:) 12 mins in nice sound:)

Fitted a new Bosch pre-cat lambda sensor, fingers crossed it fixes my recurring P0130 fault code!

Let me guess, you have a standard downpipe :) ? It needs to bed in some miles, so will get louder. Or you might have your car soundproofed pretty well (I can hear my Cobra resonated quite good)
