    BSR also do off the shelf remaps..

    in addition you could buy a piggyback system and have this custom tuned to your car - there's quite a few options for this i.e. Dasteck Unichip, Greddy eManage and others. Although it would only be worth going this route if you had access to a local company who were good at tunning/custom mapping cars as they are only as good as the map they have written.

    £65 for the RR so i think i'll wait till jan

    Im not sure which to go for, is it true that the 280 is more all round performance and the 304 is just higher boosting further up the rev range?

    Too be honest Rufio i have only a vague recollection of figures, after the Rica and maybe a 16t i wouldnt mind about 280bhp if its possible

    Cheers Bud

    hi lee i think the 280 might be a good choice as alot of people with autos seem to go for that one the thing with the 304 it hopless to try and do a fast start all you get is loads of wheel spin but when the wheels stop spinning god the car bloody picks up and is amazing on the motor ways

    Ah nice one matey.

    Still not sure im not into Flying Starts

    Is it true that the 280 can run on 95 ron unleaded Whereas the 304 needs 97+ super unleaded ?

    Cheers
