I may possibly in a few years, a few psi of boost. Not for the coming years though it is more than enough, in a straight line its pretty quick but its when you through corners in to the mix it becomes more than fast enough, and corners are what these cars are about 
Plus the car is way more capable than me at the minute, so more power would be a waste.
There is this total beast for sale at the minute, 460 lb ft and 350 bhp!! Although its not cheap...

I would have loved an rgb, they seem to be appreciating then. They were about 30 a year or so back I swear, i was hoping they would fall more. Nope!

I can't see them dropping. All the limited ones cost big money. Even the elise limited are the same.
240 exiges were 25 about 18 months ago. All the low milers are 30 now

News that they are laying off dozens/maybe hundreds at Hethel can only keep prices going the same way. Make sure any rare parts you might need are bought sooner rather than later. A lot of these will be low skilled body and paint shop staff.

I just booked my first trackday in the car. Sunday 2nd November at Snetterton with Javelin, £129. Seemed too good a price to turn down.
If anyone is near by or is looking to do a track day...
