The time was nigh for the first round of Mechanical modifications;
Viper Induction Kit
Janspeed Interclooler Pipes (see below)
Brabus 74kw Turbo Intercooler Pipe
Janspeed Stealth Exhaust
(All of these modifications were done by 'Rob' at Smartarse Design in Watford, a long way from where I live, but tried and tested and well worth the trip)
All of these Mechanical Modification are designed to help the car to 'breath' better basically introducing more air to the combustion cycle to make a bigger bang and then expelling it more quickly through a more free flowing exhaust.
There are 3 basic elements to modifying any car;
1. More Air
2. More Fuel
3. Expelling the gasses produced by 1 & 2 more quickly.
1 & 2 are obvious and I now had 1 & 3 sorted, and due to this being a particularly expensive hobby decided to wait before tackling number 2 (More Fuel).
The induction kit produces a lovely sound and twinned with the wastegate chatter and the Janspeed Exhaust which is relatively quiet at low speeds but has a nice bark when under maximum load.
So I now had approximately between 90-95 hp from what was and 83hp 700cc engine as standard... a good start.
