Enough that even as a passenger the difference is noticable to you let alone as a driver.

so say you had a few hundred quid to spend on your car, would you get, a full system exhaust, or say a chip,

or would you invest in good grips first,

so many people seem to spunk momney on hybrid turbos and that first?

Hard to say how much faster you can go, How wide/Long is the corner?!


On my Mini I sometimes run Yoko A032R's (Semi slick) and sometimes like I am now Yoko A008 tyres!

Both good, But I can notice the difference in the two, The A023R's are awesome! Even in the wet

A008s are good, but better for road use, As there a harder compound... and Im not going through sets like I was the A032's
