Quick video showing off my new mods :)

Just made a quick video showing off my car running my new mods:

DDMWorks RIS
3" Turbo Back Exhaust from Exhaust Depot

Car is now running 225bhp (dyno proven) and I love the noises it now makes

Still very driveable and happily returns 40mpg

But those are some nice sounds.

Good job. Keep those CELs away.

Bad news im afraid guys... Im from the UK - there are a few different companies over here that do remaps, but the most highly respected is P-Torque and these are the guys who did my remap
I havent had any issues from the ECU remap (had it for about 6000 miles now, and not a single issue) - I have had my emissions warning light come on a few times (but this is from the exhaust), it seems to follow spirited driving. Ie if I drive really aggresively (like in the video hehe) then I will trip the emissions light (the car doesnt drive any differently, it is only a downstream sensor so it doesnt affect A/F etc, all it is does it trip the dash light) but then if I drive on the highway for say 30 miles at 70-80mph or just do normal quiet driving the light will go away.

Lovely. Although with 260 torques I'm betting you've got quite a bit of torque-steer to wrestle with. The factory JCW has significantly less torque and most reviewers complain about it.

Limited slip to help put any of that power down on your slippery UK roads, yea or nay? Investments in tire manufactures? Seriously though, sounds nice: deeper and more menacing than my R53 which loves to sing.

I'm guessing that's Imperial gallons.
