    Hi Dave,
    The best bang for the buck is an engine management chip, not too hard to install and its the best initial investment you can make. Next improvement would probably be a rear differential swap for a better ratio.
    Good luck!

    Hello thanks for reply. I,ve worked through all the obvious so far i.e suspension and brakes are all ok and sorted so now its time for something a bit more fun. Hence I'm now looking at the engine So far nothing drastic tried other than fitting a K&N. Your suggestion for engine management chip swop makes sense. So next question is any recommendations bearing in mind I'm in the UK
    Thanks
    Dave

    I dont know what youll find over there but stop and think about that K&N, they let in more dirt and heat making them a poor choice. The engines power will actually go down with one of them.
