What's the spec. mate? If it isn't already get it remapped, they are great to drive as standard but a remap transforms them. Mine has just got a Mongoose exhaust, Miltek decat, K&N cone filter and Forge actuator, I recently had it mapped by Jam Sport and it made 302 BHP and drives great.

I don't mind having a play if it's something worth having a play with and providing its safe enough but it always seems to be knobs in a tiny engined Corsa/Fiesta/Clio etc..........!

I had a young lad in a Clio just yesterday undertake me on a single carriageway road on the cycle lane bit and almost forced me up a grass bank because he didn't realise the cycle lane was ending and cut me up! Twat!

Thanks for the comments.

Yes it's remapped, running around 277bhp at the moment. Would I benefit from any other mods without requiring a remap?
It has a straight through Mongoose, but I don't think it has anything else.
Is it easy to tell if the actuator has been uprated?

Who has remapped it? Was it a generic map? If so then can generally do a few bits to it as they tend to run pretty rich. Might be worth getting on a RR just to check the fuelling though.

I found out today that after the RR session I've got printout for however many years ago, that since then it has had a pumabuild stage 2 on it, so the power could be closer to 300bhp I guess.

3 years later I still have it, awesome car, but now a bit of a garage queen.
In the end I fitted H&N springs, had it live mapped at NMS and the actuator was changed for a Garrett unit.
300.5bhp / 360 ft/lb.
