The clutch goes very easily with a remap but the gearbox doesn't even go on the ones with silly torque so he must have really treated it like shit.

Just like Emo's, because its different doesn't make it cool!!!! You don't see people going around bumming the Chevrolet Kalos because its part of GM!!!
Thats because its shit....

Put some Eibach springs on mate Makes a big difference to the pitch and roll, doesn't lower the car much and I don't notice any difference with comfort. Basically it should have these from the factory, really helps the handling without spending big wedge

thought eibach made the springs for em standard anyway? maybe its because they are slightly shorter versions

ARB for handling.
The lift off oversteer is scary though if you want it to be.

I wasn't aware of that, but I did drive mine before and after and I can tell you it really does help without feeling stiffer.
Here's a couple of pics of modded ones I found
R32 wheels, hoping to get these for mine in the future. Think they really suit it
Was tempted by the Porsche Design 90's but with these and a decent drop the engine sump cover is very close to the ground which I don't fancy.

Im quite enjoying the lift off oversteer in mine actually  Hate the stupid Traction Control! Always switch it off in the dry (in the wet its great mind) as I feel it cuts the torque back too soon and you loose 'feel' mid corner. Just my own experience.
Set a new record yesterday on the way back from work (60Mile journey) 59.6MPG average....... How SAD is that! lol
