    197 Replacement

    Thanks for the positive comments guys :) They are 120bhp standard. The mountune 155 kit takes the 0-60 time down by 2 seconds so it may be worth getting that in a few months as it doesn't really affect the fuel consumption by all accounts. But for the moment im just going to enjoy it and save...

    Mikeanics are a real good garage mate. I knew a few people including my best mate who have their cars mapped and set up there. Their rollers are spot on too, alot of rollers are optimistic but mikeanics are usually bang on the money, they also seriously know their stuff. My mate had his mk5...
