Seems to be a very good deal viera, but in what condition is the engine? It depends on how much the engine has been used! | |

TBH I think he meant tune as it wasnt running right, not that he wanted to mod it. | |

With engine tunning you always start with the same thing and thats a performance air filter and a full exhaust system. No other mods will work to there full potential without a performance filter or a performance exhaust. Pipercross or K&N are popular choices, Pipercross being the most efficiant at flowing air - i.e. better, the K&N being the louder. As for an exhaust, you can't really go wrong with a Magnex but the better choice is a custom job, then you can have it more free flowing and a slightly bigger bore. A de-cat for your exhaust is always a good thing, makes the exhaust more free flowing and gives a good boost in the sound department :) | |

Hard to 'tune' cars by garages really as everythings controlled by the ECU. | |

depends what ya mean mate, get it stuck on a rolling road and they will tune it and set it all up so that your mods work better together. PTS in Luton charge about 110 quid for it and they know what they are doing, i wont go anywhere else, im going there on thursday for a chip and setup:) | |
