Default Hi guys new member need help

Hi i have just bought myself a scooby having just got rid of my citroen saxo vts, I have a sport which i have modified quite a bit, Kakimoto Racing Jap Can, Max Power air filter, I have installed dual +10 bhp chips and totally stripped out the interior and fitted recaro belt pads. All interior has been ungraded with no expense spared including 'The Fast and the Furious' Pedal and gearknob set. Bought some Dare Dakar 16" and had it lowered, plus a few other personal touches. I just wanted to know if anyone knows how i can squeeze a bit more out of it to get to STI speed and as it stands i'm currently faster than a wrx. All help would be appreciated. Cheers

I reckon go for a couple more of those +10bhp chips.. And some throttle bodies - you should be in Veyron territory by then......

1) Never buy anything with Max power in it (or at least never admit to it on here)
2) Chipping Scoobies is generally a bad idea......WTF are dual 10 bhp chips???
3) Why strip a car out; now you can't take a lady out for a drive with a view to getting her in the back seat; she'll have to sit on your fast and furious gear **** I guess!!

Just keep adding the Max Power stuff and you will soon have over 1000bhp.

Did you know you can add 10bhp to your car for every time you have seen the fast and the furious...

if you mix some more maz power parts with a couple of redline bits you should be getting close.. If your struggling to squeeze that last bit of performance out of it theres always the option of getting some fast car merchandise but you should take care with that as it could give you too much power really..
I think this might be one of the best modded scoobs on here with all the classy touches you've done..

If adding a set of fast and furious pedals, gear **** and some seat belt pads, oh and lets not forget dual 10bhp chip can make a sport as fast as a
WRX then just think what adding them to an STI would do.???

Bob and andy should have a look here for some new tuning ideas...

Ecotek remaps are so last year

As far as I can tell....: The "16" on the back of 3 series' is the "litre" capacity of the engine (16 litres). Those electric superchargers can be used in series, so if you move your battery so that it's located behind your four subs, you may be able to squeeze another two or three between the engine and the MaxPower filter.
I'm starting to feel well-jealous, so I don't want to give you any more advice. I'm pretty sure that 90% of members on here are feeling a small amount of envy regarding your mods (a few high end tuners excepted).

paint the brake calipers white; it reflects heat better and they will have less fade. Yeah I know its not a go faster mod but with all the power you will soon have good brakes are a necessity

also make sure you polish in front of the scoop and and put an extra coat on the rear wing, it reduces air friction for a good 20mph extra top speed

have fun with your new Scoob and dont forget not to speed in front of schools.
