Get an ITG filter to replace the stock one :cool:

Always replace the tyres with the best you can get as cheapo tyres will erode performance more than any engine upgrade. :wink:

Think that is intended as an upgrade part afer a remap!

Performance wise it wont make a great deal of difference.

Clean the windows, inside and out.
Get your eyes tested and wear gegs if you need them.
Don't drink too much the night before.

Komenda, where's your lovely car avatar gone?


I know t'is a sad day

As of tomorrow all the shiny go fast bits will be stripped off and making an re-apperance on Aland's car. Then the new owner will be taking it away. I'm sure it will pop up again somewhere, just not as quick as it used to be.

I have a new project that I picked up last saturday but I'm keeping that quiet for a bit. I still have my Mk1 which I put new carpet in last week so thats finished and ready for the summer.
