lol mine will be going to stu soon. hopefully it should be somethink similar to that 150, maybe stu could shed some light on this. But in the mean time considering iv just turned 18 i thikn its pretty good, iv had to work hard for it but well chuffed.

O and i checked the fuses and one of them with a picture of a key is missing but seeinmg as i dont have a manual i dont know what should be there

You do know that you've got to press the unlock key twice to unlock all the doors - usually the first press only opens the drivers door!!! Just a thought....

The 110 gains approx 30 - 35bhp, 50 - 55lb of torque and slightly better fuel economy.

Current price is Ł375 all in.

Similar gains pal.
The chip can be sebt into the ecu via the serial port, simply saves having to unsolder the chip, but then you cant do it live.
