Took the car to WGT to have an Apexi ECU, wide down pipe and a decat done to compliment the Blitz exhuast and air filters...

It has transformed the car totally, the acceleration is smoother and generally significantly faster. It put out 340bhp on the rolling road at the flywheel which I guess is around 280bhp at the rear wheels (given a performance loss of around 17% between fly and rear wheels).

Can\'t wait to get back out to The \'Ring early next year to give it a blast, but even on the UK roads the performance difference is huge.

So cheers Pip for a good job done and a keen price to boot!

Now what\'s next I wonder...

All the best

Traffic was a bit on the heavy side when I went down there but it took about 2 1/2 hours all told.

It\'s very easy to find from the RAC route planner I used.

How much did all that cost Mate.

Did you get the parts separately?

£1700, Pip supplied all the parts and labour (including rolling road) to include Power FC and Commander, down pipe and decat pipe.

Also included fuel filter (it still had the original on it) and four spark plugs.

Thought that was pretty good but then I am used to forking out more than that for a standard service!

Cheers
