johnny, i found the 2.8 just as lively as the 2.9... and smoother to drive too...

matt, get rid of the passengerside headlight (or at least the indicator) and get some ducting going into that airbox...

or just remove the airbox lid completely... infact may aswell ditch the airfilter too... not like you care if the engine fuks up after sucking in a leaf really is it...lol

also just check your coold start valve (back left of plenum) aint running all the time or leaking... common fault on em... if it is, just unplug it, or block the fuel line up with a solid bolt...

other than that, rag the sh*t out of it

oh and lift off oversteer works a treat on highspeed bends
