Mine made 126rwhp with stock engine, SMT6 piggyback ECU and other bits of bolt on mods....
Still have room for more horses....

155-160bhp at the fly. The M42 engine has a few flat spots but once you're about 4.5k RPM it flies. Did some 0-60 runs on my GPS logger and an average of 10 runs was 6.85s. Happy with that

Looking forward to getting the 205/50R15s to replace the 205/55R15s and give a bit more shove and better handling, unfortunately it'll mean that I need 3rd for 0-60 so that will drop. Tempted to get a 4.4 diff in there and make it a real screamer

Mods to the engine are M44 block, regrind cams, E30zone chip, 2.25" exhaust, air filter, modified airbox, viscous fan removed.

Mine probably has all horses and then a little bit. I have about 14k miles on a rebuilt engine. Mods are a mild intake cam and a MarkD chip, single-mass flywheel, and viscous fan delete.

I had to replace my cat to pass smog recently, so a Magnaflow cat (4-year warranty) was fitted.
I don't think these stock exhausts are very restrictive--the M20 guys don't really get much from a cat-back system--unless the muffler itself is that much more restrictive (which could be true to prevent the car from sounding like a Civic). Anybody care to comment?

Mine was dyno'd at 122 last month with only an EBay Dinan chip and 170,000km. Have since made some further mods but no dyno yet.
