What would you spend £1000 on

[obi_waynne]

If you had £1000 to spend on your car what would you spend it on?

I would go for a remap, sports exhaust and diverter valve.

 

[turbonutter69]

On the Cab it would have to be an engine swap. Either a 1.6 Rst Lump or a 2.0 16v lump.

 

[pgarner]

rear arb, sportscat, remap

 

[coupe]

new exhaust

 

[herb]

front wishbones, a rear beam and a black interior from a cupra r

 

[MasterAuron]

Sparco 6-point cage and a Protoxide lateral mount tubular manifold...Oh wait, I just did. And it was over a grand lol.

 

[old-git]

Put it towards the set of Image 3 piece billet wheels I am about to buy.

 

[dotdot8692]

sell my car and add to the 1k and buy a decent car does that count??

If not i would get some alloys, sound system and lower if thats under 1000 pound

 

[marti5]

Wheel refurb,bonnet respray, new ///M steering wheel (mines a bit worn) and re-upholster the drivers seat.

 

[RobBentley]

Sports Haldex Controller for me

 

[Country Bumpkin]

New alloys. It's got to be done anyway but i'll wait 'til the new year now, no point destroying another set over winter.

 

[2fast2catch]

lots of fluffy pink stuff lol (joking of course)

not sure really so much i want.

prob be: lift kit, some checker plate for the boot, wheel spaces and some 33'' tyres

any loose change would go into respay piggy bank

 

[aston]

petrol and a ferry ticket

 

[Loz]

Convert my car to Coilover suspension.:bigsmile:

 

[RobBentley]

Convert my car to Coilover suspension.:bigsmile:

haha - opposite to me then. I'm about to take my coil-overs off. Now I have the R36 for "sporty" the W8 is going comfort again. The coilovers are hard as rock and completely intolerable on country lanes.

 

[obi_waynne]

@ RB going for comfort. Is someone getting soft in his old age?

My next birthday is 25... that's half way to 50!!! :toung:

I am a comfort buff though, I must admit.

 

[Stiggy]

replace all the parts that are braking on my car

if they were fine, maybe upgraded calipers, pads, disc's and sort out the suspension with coilovers and antiroll bars

 

[thexav]

I'd get better brakes. It would be quite nice to stop when I need to. When I really really need to.

 

[pgarner]

£1k on brakes ? you can get brembo setups for half of that with a little ingenuity

 

[HDi fun]

Nothing I want that costs a grand. OK, there's quite a lot of things I want that cost £100,000 but that's not the question.

 

[MasterAuron]

Try a quarter!

 

[nig]

On a ally chassy 1st and carbon 2nd

 

[stamford]

NOS and I'll have £20 change enough for a refill!

 

[aswearing]

ooooh money! pay off my student debt? haha i would put it toward blueprinting, at least trying to squeeze 15-25hp out of the engine. maybe a turbo? I've not been involved in cars for a few months now, not sure what the prices are anymore - i mostly know about MRSA recently

How much is blueprinting anyway?

 

[pgarner]

Try a quarter!

true depends on how much you look into it. found brembos from the earlier lambo dilabo for around £60. reason is thy are fitted to some E38 Beemers as standard. shame you need big discs for them

supose i could have done mine for that using the half pads i got with the callipers and the original discs

 

[obi_waynne]

£1000 goes a lot further if you cannablise cars from the breakers yards. You could pickup a decent set of wheels, performance brakes and maybe even a leather interior within this sort of budget!

 

[bigbadjoe]

£100 each on number 17 and 20, then the rest on black. Hope for the best!!!! lol

 

[geraint13]

remap, alloys and respray. any change on the euro mills !!!

 

[Big Fat Fatty]

i would get myself all the materials and parts i would need to build my Haynes Roadster including the engine and drive train from a donor Sierra, and a mig welder so i can crack on with the chassis

 

[Yugguy]

Exhaust, induction and a remap.

Actually I'd stick it my ISA. How depressingly dull.

 

[pgarner]

probably the same maybe some coils and the rest in the ISA

 

[HDi fun]

A spare FWD car to keep handy for the snow

 

[e30wyn]

m3 suspension and hub assembly

 

[T9 man]

Respray a couple of car panels which have some annoying NCP damage on them, then a full external professional valet with clay bars and everything, then have it all sealed with Supagard

 

[MasterAuron]

Don't waste your money on Supaguard mate, it's just an expensive sealent in the same vein as Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection or FK1000p. £20 for a tin of FK1000p and I'll put moeny on it being more durable that Supraguard. It's £20 a tin + a couple of hours of your time vs. £250 for what could well be an inferior product.
