iirc with the standard car remapped there around 200hp which would be plenty on the road, there pretty fun cars as im sure you already know, the difference in torque is amazing, 233hp has transformed the car, holding its own against allot more powerful cars, i would highly recommend having it...
i do think they look really smart in the pics iv posted, that's why im going to order up a set of spacers to stop them hiding in the arches so much. i just think the xxrs give the car a much more purposeful look and are aggressive looking.

the yellow fogs yes thats a 'scene' thing

so shes just run over 20K !
and i fitted my whiteline ARB
couple more things to do to the car befor friday like roll the arches change the oil and plugs before my track day :)
allegedly under hotter temperatures and strain of a tuned engine these are apparently a weak point and tend to fail. so im just trying to make the car as reliable as possible before tuning. along with removing the cover and sound deadening from the supercharger which should drop temps a little to
