what bhp is it standard? id say filter, exhorst, chipping

 

[burN-Leon]

According to the offical website they are 105bhp standard. Which chip do you suggest?

 

[RickC]

not really sure on naturally aspirated but in sure if you give it till morning someone will answer, anway how u finding it? any bodymods planned?

 

[burN-Leon]

Ive actually been drivin it since last april coz it was me dads n he let me drive it wen wanted bt now its mine so i can think about moddin. I like them handlin is good altho in wet wheels just spin easily.

If 105 spins, imagine having 280 hehe.

face it, insurance is a ball-ache. Even if you mod it, I would like to think you declare it, which means your premium will be higher.

Weigh everything up.

 

[burN-Leon]

Yes i would declare everything, and I didnt plan on modding straight away.

Just wanted to know how I would go about doing it and what to use when i do thats all.

if your after some wheels mate ive got some 19s for sale at £450 ono all with good tyres and in good condition.

105bhp - 150bhp in an NA car..... is it possible?
Revo quote +8-10%, which would be a max of about 10bhp....

Suppose air filter/exhaust might free up a couple of horses, but not sure where the other 35 will come from without something major?

To be honest mate I wouldn't bother, the amount of money it will cost to get 45bhp you'll be on the way to getting a cupra. Plus insurance for a highly modded car will be higher I would imagaine.
I know its frustraiting with insurance companies raping you but I would get a decent exauhst for a nice sound (not a 20"" bean can ) and save your cash for a faster machine.

ditto above

I dont like exhausts that sound loud, like the more racey sound meself. Ok think I will just do that then, thanks for the advice anyway!
