Yes its been modified, if its been mapped? that would be hard to tell unless a mapper logged onto the ecu to tell you.

Be aware that version 5s off the boat from Japan want to run on 100RON fuel which we don't have over here and are prone to engine damage from detonation if used in anger on lower grade fuel.

Even if the car has been mapped, it will have mostly likely have been mapped for V power or Tesco 99RON. I would use VPower if I were you and get the car to an Ecutek mapper to see if the std ECU has been interrogated.

I wouldn't read too much into the RR print out, it may be a bit on the *ahem* generous side (there are SOOOO many variables that can affect this) or you may have just got a good un; they are 280bhp as std, thow in some cold ambient temps and hey presto! Get a mapper to look at it. Lots of good uns on here!

Hope you enjoy the car!

Mine made 320 with a decat - no remap.

Ran fine with no det as long as I used v-power (optimax back then) and octane booster.
