JCW at your local dealership.

thanks,
from what ive seen in the mags the jcw seems like a lot of money compared to other stuff out there,even if it does carry the dealer warranty with it.what about other specialists out there,any other recommendations, there are a few companies offering the same type of kits,has any one used any of these ?

The Hartge kit done by Birds seems to be the most often mentioned and complimented.
I am of course assuming your Manchester is in the UK.
We've a few here as well.

BBR look pretty good too. Especially the 220bhp kit for less than JCW

Put some non runflat tyres on it. Makes it much quicker plus you can get the power down without spinning. Cheap upgrade.
