I got a motobuild racing exhaust a K&n 57i and motobuild remap lol, I think that got power up to about 120 hp I don't know if that's the correct figure but it made it a lot quicker not bad for a 23 year old at the time.

    Videos featuring cars like this, the Mini, the Golf diesel, and of course the Subaru wagon, all have one thing in common. The owner and Jamie look like they've having a blast at all speeds!
