had it done b4 not by them though, found out wheel balancing in a van don't work, felt like I'd had a 50p shaped tyre fitted when I got on the motorway!
used tesco 99 for 2 tank fulls & it started missing slightly from cold, only an extra 1 or 2 quid for optimax & so it'll be until they come up with something better

junk the interior,spare wheel,arch liners etc. take the underseal off (repaint and waxoyl),never putting in more than 1/4 tank of petrol will increase your power to weight ratio.
Any michelin tyre with a red dot on the sidewall is not class A1 round on ie. when you put it on the rim and spin it on the hub whilst still on the jack one side of the tyre will hit the ground and the opposite side will float,this is why they say to put the red dot opposite the valve to reduce...
Smaller the engine bigger the gain bhp/ton.If you want to go hardcore strip the underseal and loose another 20/30 lb,safely though ramp or axel stands etc,repaint and regular waxoyl as winters coming.
