They respond rather nicely to an ecu tweak too by a reputable tuner

I can see "Rog 'issen'" there. That is Yorkshire speak for Roger himself. Might have to add a cedilla? Hmmm.

thinks: must keep quiet or the mods will bin these posts for buying/selling

Oh and I agree with Nottm, black wheels are an essential part of the look - see below

That'll come too

List of stuff I want:

- M performance exhaust
- M performance splitters
- M performance spoiler
- Black kidneys and side grills
- Paint wheels

But there's no reason to do it all at once

It really is an s4000, you'll love it.

Ive been tweaking mine with mixed results so far.

I bought a miltek exhaust and it was too quiet, then the manifold cracked when i was errr 'testing' the cars velocity capabilities. So i had to rectify the exhaust to make it less restrictive to prevent further occurrences. The best way to do that is to cut out the primary decats, in turn that mod demanded a remap. I also found the speed limiter intrusive to daily driving so had that removed whilst remapping.

Evolve are quoting around a 40hp increase by doing what I've done. Mid range is much improved and I'm surprised at how easily it piles on speed at the top end. Throttle response is fantastic.
