Hey Everyone :D
Just recently picked up a silver 2008 mps! absolutely love the car and had the stage 1 remap within the first week of getting it :D
Found this awesome forum when looking for options on tuning..
Anyhow My names jeff and im based in northants.
Wanted to asked you guys for some advice on a couple of things and would appreciate any pointers you guys can offer!
First off i am planning to keep the alloys the car came with but would like to put spacers in to fill them arches... just not sure what size to increase to... will 20mm spacers push them out to far?
I am also looking at the exhaust system but dont want to do anything to heavy as i cant quiet afford stage 2 remap, so any pointers would be great :D

Once again nice to meet you all

Jeff

Hi mate, :welcome: to :mpsoc: , who mapped your car out of interest?
A map top up should only be £40-60 but with a cat back exhaust you shouldn't need a tweak anyhow.

What about just a 2nd cat delete? Ross27 makes them.

As for spacers, 5mm is what I have on and wouldn't go any wider, it effects handling an the additional stress in the chassis, bolts etc is incredibly high, only do it at your own risk.

Hi and welcome. 2nd cat delete would make the car breath better.
Plenty of reading on here ,do a few searches then ask about anything you may be unsure about.
