you will be pleasently impressed, interior is leagues ahead in terms of quality and style from the cossie, and the handling runs rings round the cossie aswell. get a 350 quid remap like a Dreamscience and your running stg 3 cossie torque 330 lb/ft and 270 brake without even opening the bonnet

new - i got mine off collins in congleton, or performance deals do them at a good price.

if you register with the owners club (in my back window) you get a discount direct from dreamscience.

secondhand, there are a few about in the items for sale on there.

I know of a couple of other that went, all before 20k too.

Mine was just making lots of noise at speed and under engine braking.

Dreamscience often have some refurb'd unit too, which cost less. Thats what I bought and its been fine.
