Default If you were limited to 3 Modifications what would you do?

If there was only 3 Modifications you could do what would you choose?

I would do suspension, exhaust and a remap if that was all I could choose. Would any of you do visual or cosmetic stuff?

1. Re-map.

2. Extra turbo cooling having recently shafted the seals on the last one, thus requiring a new turbo and intercooler.

3. Brake pads and hoses - ATE pads and Goodridge hoses

OK, fix the lottery and buy a AMG Merecedes 600 SLK and then install another 6 litre V12 the back - one driving each wheel.

Mod 2: Hire Joanna Lumley to talk to me whilst I'm driving

Mod 3: scrap the sat nav

Exhaust, Suspension and Remap.

I would try to get as much as I could standard (spoiler, alloy wheels, nicer seats etc...)

We're doing a feature on a 2.5 V6 in a MK1 Astra so I reckon the Corsa is dooable too!

HDI fun you've shocked me (No Diesels then? )

Asweaering NO - it can't include brakes and wheels! You could just say engine Modifications, body Modifications and suspension Modifications and that would cover everything in the world ever.

Turbo

Dont know about a 3rd, fast road cam maybe?

Too many options, cant belive some people would put a bodykit on if they were only aloud 3 Modifications.

You'd be suprised. Most show cars have standard engines!
