Decent bit of kit really, all the hard work done, just icing on the cack stuff left to do now?

Don't understand the point of the AEM programmable ECU though, if the car's only putting out 210bhp? If the engine was in good health, the extra 13 bhp could have been achieved with just the decent exhaust and intake, right? (going on some of the results we got from the national dyno day)

nb: by "4 branch" I assume he's meaning header/manifold, but in the photo's it's just running the standard OEM tubular jobber?

That has been up for sale for a few years now. 210 is not a bad number for a H22a5 (185 stock) with few mods. Remember 5th gens respond poorly to mods if they are not tuned.

Those AEM ECU's cost a bomb, as do AP brakes.

Oh... I thought a5's had more oompf than that as standard!

I thought they were the same as H22a's, while the H22a8's were over 200

The H22a5 is basically the OBDII version of the 4G H22a2. H22a8's are only 197 bhp.

This car keeps cropping up, personally I think its got bags of potential for a serious track weapon. Someone has clearly spent quite a few thousand to get it approved for certain track competitions. Just needs a little love and attention here and there...starting with removing the decals and horrible stripes from the bodywork.
