Yeap -- I had Alcon brakes on my previous Audi that ran about 3K. And those were just the FRONTS!

Exactly look at me! I got roughly 365bhp just from a tune from TTP!

Stock:
260whp/291bhp(claimed) = 0.8934
Tuned:
326whp/0.8934 = 365bhp

I'm sure that's a conservative tune as well because there is no reason to go crazy with no other mods yet.

OK, for every body and myself, I wrote a letter to the UK Mitsu parts rep about ordering/getting some FQ body parts in the U.S. (ie, bumpers, hood, ect.)

Here's the response I recieved.

Hi Jeremy

It would appear there will be problems suppling and shipping the bumpers as mitsubishi are being very protective about the part numbers and cost ( doesn't make sense to me but they don't want a lot of 400 look a likes) I'm still working on getting the price but guy i need to speak to is away until Monday.

I'll contact you when I can get some details

kind regards

Carl

But yeah, 400 ponnies is easily achievable down here in the US..

Agreed. A little too over the top on the cosmetics and the hp gains are not worth the cost...even if they do come with a warranty.

Well good. Looks like they are trying to protect the car and its owners. Should help keep the car's value up.

I didn't ask bout the side skirts for some reason. Figure there over a grand too. I did tell him that I wanted the whole front bumper assembly, and what ever he could do would be highly appreciated. So, we'll see.
