Only £400 eh Phil... well let me tell you your chain of thought as soon as that Milltek's on the car and you're driving home...  :evilgrin:


You'ill be thinking, I need the Hi-Flow Sports Cat to make the most of that Milltek Cat Back, and then you might as well take a look at the whole of the engine 'breathing' system to make sure their are no bottlenecks - otherwise, it would ruin the Miltek gains - so things like either Carbonio would have to be on the shopping list... or you could do it properly and get a real cold air intake like the EVOMS one... and after all that, you would have to get a remap to take full advantage of the bolt-on mods... Stage 1 Revo and circa 300bhp can't be sniffed at... oh hang on, Stage 2 is only £50 more so you might as well go the whole hog... and then you might need an aftermarket fuel pump then - what the hell... just chuck it in, you've come so far already - and of course, a Forge DV.  Then you'ill stand back and think..  :surprised:  hang on, what about the handling?!  Of course, you'ill have to go out and get Koni FSD/Eiback Springs - or expensive coilies - and the white line anti lift kit - a snitch at around an affordable £130 and maybe some anti-roll bars to round it all off.   Then you'ill look at your bank balance - hovering somewhere around 0 or some unmentionable negative number and truely understand the words of the wise elder Red Robin, who warned you that this is a slippery slope.   :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: 

Oh.. but you'ill have a monster of a car that will blow your mind when you drive it - but only for a few days until you get used to it and bored.. and then the modding will start all over again - anyone for Stage 3 Revo and 450bhp?  :surprised: :evilgrin:
