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.

Looks a very nice car!

I really like mine but I'm very tempted to get rid as I'm fed up of of twats that drive right up my arse just wanting to race! Almost every time I'm out in it!

E39 M5 next I think.

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.
