Evosport is working on a pulley kit, Kleemann and Renntech have one out already. Those are you best bang for the buck upgrades for power. You can try some aftermarket filters and mufflers to see if you can pickup an pony or two but that's not a good bang for the buck and can actually lose power. Kleemann is also testing a header/cat that should give you a few more ponies. As for IC's, I don't know who still makes one, maybe Vaeth in Germany.

Looks great! You'll never want to drive another car without b-xenons. If I'm correct, did you replace your turn signal bulbs??? It has a blue tint. I replaced them on my car. Bluish tint, but still reflect amber when you actually use the turn signal.

it took a couple of months for Steve (MBenzNL) to find me EURO Bi-X for my Coupe too, but once I got 'em, I fell in love with them ! Completely changed the front look of the car. Aggressive and classy at the same time ! The blue tinted / amber blinking turn signal is a nice plus. I have them on my EURO Bi-X too, but was surprised to find out that SYLVANIA does not make SilverStars 2357A.
Gaiex, do you know what make / number your blue-amber turn signals are ?
I need another pair for my wife's EURO Bi-X !!
