Do you have a saloon or wagon?
Now personally I would do the same for both of the above, Brakes, 2 pots really are crap, knocklink or better still, a KS3 knock analyser that shows your engines not being blown apart from the inside out, either an aftermarket ecu or an ESL chip and mapped for your mods.
Now out of curiosity, what fuel are you running her on?

Nice to see you run her on something reasonable vpower is better though but still do my other bits, the suspension should be on there also as that isnt exactly brilliant

V power is better as its refined@99+ron, tesco 99 is 97 with additives.
You can pick up a ks3 from aztec performance (just google it or have a look through the group buys) and they are fairly easy to fit had mine hard wired in though so you need an auto electrician for that (doesnt cost much).

Its higher octane fuel, the tesco's should be ok as your car is mapped for 97, add the knock sensor then drive with tesco's in, run it low, add v power and see the difference
