Profile update complete. Cheers for the heads up.

Under bonnet mods (so far) were done before I bought it.

It has been chipped - but I don't know what with. I only know this because there is a spare chip in the glove box....

It also has an aftermarket exhaust on it which makes a nice noise. It came with 132kW out of the factory, but I suspect it has gained, and then lost a few ponies in the last 9 years. Once I have finished haemorrhaging cash on the little blue wagon, I will get it down to a dyno and find out exactly what the numbers are.

I had my heart set on a few performance bits and pieces to give it a bit more poke:
- GT28RS Turbo (it looks like the goods.....)
- Front Mounted Intercooler
- High Flow Cat
- improved manifold
- some upgraded brakes (S4?) to stop it a bit quicker
- Forge Diverter Valve
- Carbonio Cold Air Intake
but when it comes to cars, I really don't know my arse from my elbow.

Fortunately, I have a few friends who have my best mechanical interests at heart, who are helping to guide me away from doing anything stupid.

Currently my mission is to buy some winter rims for the beast, so that I can get snow chains on it if required. Unfortunately, because it has been lowered and the tyres are oversized, that has been proving to be a bit difficult. oh well, it will give me something to do when I get bored...

Lucky man you have the AJL engine that only a few got over here. Most have AEB or APU 110kw sweeet!

Absolutely. It was actually a bit of a fluke. I didn't know there was a GP edition until about 3 months after I bought it - and then it took me another month to figure out that I had one!
