Could of done this yonks ago but better late then never ey?!
So I bought my brothers LY R26 off him in August last year as he'd bought a 2005 STI widetrack scooby. I came from my precious Clio 172 Cup which I'd owned for 7 years, took it up to 190bhp with cams etc what a buzz box!.

When I bought the R26 the car was standard with only 32,000 miles on the clock! and as impressed as I was with the capability of the car and the way it drove it just needed more sound and was lacking in some fizz and excitement. Although what doesn't help is the fact I came from a 172cup which always felt angry and ready to revs its nut sack off.
So as it now stands (as of late January):-
Black badges (can't leave it out
)
Ktec 3inch + Decat
Airbox Modification
Force recirc
Cooksport springs
RS Tuning remap
Results: 271.6bhp 273lb/ft
Very happy with the results!, although it has since developed missfire under load ;/ I have some spark plugs ready to fit to rule that out then I will take it from there.
Failing that maybe the coilpack is the issue, or injectors..seems to idle fine with no coughing so I'm not too sure.
Looking at buying an ITG induction kit soon for more darth vader sucking and flutter and a GDI intercooler.
Thanks for looking!
