there's not an awful lot more you can do in the bolt on tuning department if you already have a Stage 1 kit fitted. i'd suggest booking yourself a rolling road session to optimise the mods you've already done. a good session will pick up any faults in your engine's performance and will set you back about £60. if you've not had one done before you might be pleasantly surprised at the difference it might make!

Me too, especially for when the turbo accidentally falls onto my 998 :wub:

Will be looking for something like that set up next year, will be interesting to see what sort of power I can get out of it and keep it 'reasonable' for daily use.

Coolio :wub:

Once I get back from Mauritius in Feb I can start work in earnest and splash out on bits and bobs for it :P

I might even update my project thread one day (if I ever find my camera lead, am gonna kill one of my siblings !)

if your not gonna tell the insurance your mods and you don't care then put a vtec in it. plus it might be on par with your 'over' machines

should brown your pants nicely

lol, it's certainly a way to waste risk more money being lost in the event of a claim.

If you're not worried about insurance, just do what this guy did. then you won't need to worry afterwards either!
