What size tyres are you running?

It looks to me like you put on some high grip tyres on there...

If you still have your stock tyres, and if the roads are wet, put them back on and go for a drive on a twisty road. Preferably one with a few low speed hairpins that you can take in 1st or 2nd gear. Give it a bit off gas on corner exit and even with it's puny power output you should get a massive smile.

I have lot's of friends who think power and overall speed mean a fun car. The thing is, at the end of the day, I have never had any speeding tickets where as they have. To be honest most of the time I actually find the car too fast and it's only on the uphill sections where I wish it would be a tiny bit faster.

Personally I would recommend a supercharger as it would give you a more linear response while satisfying your power hunger. It's also a slightly safer option compared to a turbo. Just remember that these car's run hot, invest in an oil cooler when getting your FI kit and even then you still may have a few cooling issues if you drive the car hard.
