Not a massive amount you can do to increase engine power, other than service it properly. Ignore the crap that the likes of Courtney say, they are wrong  :-X

There are improvements to handling, although the standard is quite capable (Elite excluded) once you understand the car. Assuming its in good working order.

You are being very general again, what exactly are you hoping to achieve?

Lowering the car?
Stiffer suspension?
Engine (bear in mind there is little you can do to a 3.2 to increase power)
upgrade speakers?

Give us a clue  ::)

Yes car is in great shape engine serviced regular and only done 50,000 I know it has alot of power I am only really just looking to see if there is anything that can be done to increase power, probably will leave it alone though.

Very little available for tuning the engine, suspension mods might be the best route to look into for better handling. ;)

Funny, but those items you list are just what a 'chav' would want to add to an already superb car with more 'extras' comfort and performance than most of its competitors! Personally I prefer then to be as original and 'understated' so that when some wally who thinks he has a power machine gets left in the wind scratching his head in wonder!
The only way you will get any help or advice that you are seeking on the forums is to be honest and upfront so the members know what is required. Not to state your needs in full I think it is a waste of our time.
Now please tell us all in detail what you hope to acheive and no doubt you will get many replies and correct advice. At the end of the day though it is up to you whether you listen to those who have had miggys for donkeys years and know them well enough to know what works and what doesn't or ignore it. Can't say fairer than that can I? Hope you will be happy at the end result though and its cost effectiveness for the likely very tiny gains.

You are being very general again, what exactly are you hoping to achieve?

Lowering the car?
Stiffer suspension?
Engine (bear in mind there is little you can do to a 3.2 to increase power)
upgrade speakers?

Fit a 4.22 ratio dif. Effectively lowering the gearing. It takes an eternity to reach top speed anyway...
