but the gearbox is no different on a small turbo, the mechanics of the engine, brakes and running gear, only the ignition and fuelling system are ST specific.

There are some cosmetic differences in different areas but mostly you are right. ST has slightly different sump, vechicle speed sensor, some other mods.

Also, for changing your oil, take the car out for a spin to let the oil heat up - this thins the oil as it get warm and it runs out a lot easier and therefore doesnt take as long. Make sure you don't get it too hot though and burn yourself.
