Previous modifications

Some modifications have been removed, or altered. Those can still be found in this section.

Race chip

Italian Speed Race chip

The car had a race chip, when I bought it.
This was the first modification to go. I’m not a big fan of these, and I’m not convinced that they don’t reduce the lifespan of the engine.
