Hi there,
Trawling through various threads my heads in a shed about what to spend my money on (sooo many pros, cons, ifs and buts. I know for a start wringing more power out of the S is expensive and a gains are not that big. Basically im asking if you had

 

I would be speaking to Louie and asking him how much for the J's racing carbon air intake. Should give slight mid range increase and avoid bogging down in traffic.

Then onto a Spoon N1 exhaust, loud though, but saves a lot of weight and is less restrictive.

there is alot of info on FD. check out the search function. all in it should be just under

thank saxo_boy that cleared up alot of things, i think im going to go with FD gearing.

BTW is it just me or the S wont do more than 150?, so would the gearing knock off say 10mph?

Ill have to do a search

cheers
