Fair play to james - i did say increase power and brake pads don't do that! (In my defence can I argue that the pads I was thinking of were 2oz lighter so the car is quicker

)

The airbox mod will increase airflow and top end power. In a recent road test a modified airbox actually out performed an induction kit.

Super unleaded does increase power in most modern cars as the ECU controls fuel rate with emissions. I agree that for best effect a remap would help.

50 notes is not much but so many people ask me how much power they can get for this much and I do struggle to think of anything! James may have the answer that it can't be done but lets see what the general consensus is?

Losing weight seems to be the way to go. How much do you reckon you can trim off a car - keeping it a 4 seater and without it falling apart when you brake?
