If you had £1500 to spend on your car...

[glenn_adam_doble]

F4RT engine transplant

 

[Naith]

one XL recaro race seat/sparco whatever as long as it works, give the rest to fred and tell him to sort the front suspension, if he's cheap then i'd get my turbo hybrid with uprated injectors innit.

 

[st3ve]

Catcam 421s and a remap.

 

[dajones]

Id get a full alloy refurb, OEM eibach 40mm springs and the OEM Bluetooth satnav radio.

 

[JP83]

Oh yeah, forgot about a remap!

 

[MartinR]

Full suspension component refresh, if there is enough left as i have a fair few bits already done

 

[Toastfrenzy]

[Hixle]

[Gally]

Lols! How much of that is needed Luke?

 

[The Boosh!]

£1k on some decent suspension
£500 on trackdays and tuition

 

[Cub.]

The amount of people who have not read scutchs post is classic cliosport behaviour. Type first, think later.

 

[skyinsurance]

Coilovers then a trip to Tony @ Wheels in Motion for a decent Geo set up. Maybe refurb my curbed borbet if money to spare.

[Hixle]

Lols! How much of that is needed Luke?

I'm currently accumulating Lower Arms/Ball Joints, Wheel Bearings, Track Rod Ends and 4 new tyres. Add my bonnet repair and that's the best part of a grand gone already.

The suspension parts don't technically need doing, but I want the car to be mint before I sell it. So many ropey/cheap one's out there currently.

Will be all done and for advertised for sale at CSS, if anyone want's a look

 

[Knuckles]

Cup spoiler - £275
Ly dash strips - £50?
Service - dunno how much

Then

H&R spring - £200?
20mm spacers -£150?
light anthracite speedlines £400

That leaves me around £500 for a 200 diffuser lol

That last £500 would go on a 200 diffuser and some new tyres for the front (all 4 depending on how much the diffuser is)

 

[Jay.]

Akrapovic and some lowering springs.

Done.

[JCC]

Mine already has around £600 worth on it, so with the £900 left I'd probably go for a decat, Revo map and probably a bigger intercooler.

 

[Ronnie R]

Probably sell it to buy a better one lol

Other than that, a good service - not much I can do to a 1l corsa :|
