Like it says, having recently come into the harsh reality of car-crime, I am now staring a 1.8lx M reg fiesta in the tail pipe, thinking..."MORE POWER"

I'm not too bothered about top end speed, it does 95easily enough! I really want it to be quick off the mark! Any ideas anyone???

How the hell do you do it? Everything is oiled and tuned..the pump has been opened up a little, as far as MOT exhaust limits allow! I have managed to scrape to 100 on a good downhill in an empty car..

You obviously already know about the screw trick on the pump - there isnt really anything else mate OH yeah except they sound 100% nicer on a genuine Ford exhaust system (cant tell mines a deisel on the move:wink:)
