i take it u just got a credit card or something? "limit"

have u had it lowered? maybe coilovers? lexus lights? bodykit? uprated brakes.... chip?

Tune the 1.8 instead;

Chip, boost valve, cams and head work.

Then get a K-Tec big brake conversion.

& slam it if you havent already

Something a bit differrent maybe coilovers are on the way. Aint really got the speed (yet) for the uprated brakes. And id love a chip but theres loads about and dunno which one is best. Dont wanna spend loads on one and only find its give me an extra 5bhp!

Now Tom you are talking!! that sound about right.

HillPower chip is the best value for money. £150odd for member which is a bargain. Ill be phoning Nick in the new year to get mine sorted.

The Dastek Unichip is one of the best chips there is IMO. My brother has one on his VTS, and helped it a lot to show a genuine 159BHP on the rollers. They are a lot more expensive though. I think around £470!

dont need big speed for big brakes. better brakes will allow you to brake harder and later for corners etc (on a race track of course) could you get a throttle body conversion for that much??

 

[spirez]

how about getting everything smoothed off, eg bump strips, boot strip, bonnet etc

 

[Dafydd]

buying my twin headlights would be a good start.lol

 

[Tony]

Yeah i could but dont wanna! Cheers anyway. Ive got the badboy bonnet so wouldnt really see em.

Plenty of good ideas guys, im spoilt for choice now. Keep em coming!!
