hi all so far i've debadged the rear and side, made my own debadged front grill, lowered the number plate and going to run the bumper trim across the gap. i've got the zorst ready to fit and mesh for the lower front. also fitted induction kit. new year will be alloys (not sure which as only going to 16") and lowering the car. plus matt blk bonnet and flushed boot.
so any help with tunning her plus other styling will be much help
 
Hows it going matey? How much did you want to spend on it?

The best mods for a car engine are as follows.
Internal work yields the biggest gains, head work like porting polishing and 3 angle valve jobs will maximise the airflow and raise the power.

If you want to go to the max then cryo treat the block, get it rebored and look into blueprinting and balancing as well.

Bigger valves are an obvious addon but not all engines are suitable as it depends how close together the OEM valves are.

A fast road cam will yield good power gains, especially in the top end of the rev range. Don't go mad though a profile of up to 270 degrees will give the best gains without the engine becoming cammy.

The most popular power mods are induction kits (which are questionable as power mods but they can sound nice if that is your sort of thing) and sports exhausts with sports catalysts or decats.

To keep the car legal I'd recommend a sports catalyst rather than a decat.

The last mod should always be a remap as this will allow you to fully realise the power gains on offer from your mods.

It's worth having a read of the articles on www.torquecars.com/tuning/ for more information on these mods and what the terms mean.
 
cheers waynne i knew you would come up trumps. i've got brembo calipers an disc coming soon. also springs an strutes going on so im sorting out the brakin first before the power starts climing to much for the orginal brakes to cope with. ive also picked up some wolfrace 17" hocks to fit on over the brembos
