Woohoo!!! Nice choice Jock - Sounds like a sensible solution to having the S2 in a constant state of upgarding.
I saw a pick of the concept Evo X in 'EVO' magazine today - looks incredible

would have no idea were to start first though, panel filter, DEFFO not an induction kit, exhaust system & de-cat, uprated fuel pump & an 'ecutek' remap, that should be good for around 360bhp, oh & the front disks tend to warp, A.P. do a 'strapdrive' floating disk kit to sort that

the disks are just a pain if you drive it hard, the mods are not that dear, an exhaust is probably in the same price region of a cossie one, a fuel pump if i remember corectley is around Ł100, an ecu remap is Ł650 +vat, but that includes the rolling road costs aswell!!

Wes no worries mate ,
Carlo, do your research mate, An 8 320 is probably cheaper then a 9 300 as there is a rather sweet deal on at the moment
Friday there were approx 22/26 320's in the country
Saturday there were approx 12 in the country
Justin i am gagging on getting it out for a spin
I presume your was in Silver
Cheers Mike
