    How much power is enough (for you)?

    I haven't been on here for ages so I thought I'd check in ;) Now, we all know the modification bug has no cure but everyone has their limits right? For me it's 210rwkw - that was always the plan and I've stuck with it. In New Zealand, the magical 200rwkw mark is now 300rwkw with 250rwkw being...
