    Yeah, I've got the TD manifold and map. Really worth the money. Probably the best mod you can do, it makes the car so much more lively!

    My problem is I get itchy when the car hasn't been in bits by my own hand for a while 😜 .... Recaro's you say 🤔🤣🤣🤣

    Yeah, I think that has to be the next step. Do some track work, see what happens. As Lauren said, if I do track stuff I can well imagine the brakes will suffer and a big brake kit would be an idea. But if I'm not a fan then I can think about TD turbo kit 🙂

    Yeah as I've been saying I'm kind of wanting to know what's worth it and what's not.

    Just you know what it's like. You look at parks websites and think "oooh that's cool, but is it worth doing" 

    I made this thread just to find out what would be worth it. Parts wise not much, however folk have said get to a track "modify the driver" (I might steal that one 😜) so still plenty food for thought.

    Cheers guys!!! 👍👍👍👍

    It's bit of an unusual thread. You normally mod a car based on what you as the owner feels it's missing or falls down on. Asking other people what you should blow your cash on is, well, different. Is there anything you don't like or think needs improving? Because none of us can tell you what you think.

    Hahaha! I know what you mean, but like I say it's more of a thing of would folk recommend this or that.

    Lauren pretty much answered my question of should I bother with roll bars etc

    Shifter springs aren't anything to do with suspension

    Sorry mate! I didn't read that right what so ever 😜

    Yeah, the guys from tuning development said they were good when I get the manifold done. I'm actually very tempted by the gear box bush insert too. Then I started wondering about the diff and and rear sub frame inserts too.

    The simple fact that they're pretty cheap too makes them very tempting. But then you get the "if they're cheap, are they crap" thing 😜

    Don't waste money on an intake kit. HKS drop in panel filter if anything. Exhaust, too expensive to get in the UK, HKS system would be a nice alternative. 

    Start with exhaust / suspension. 18" wheels will require lowered ride height if you want it to look decent, also something like 9.5J wheels will probably require coilovers, depending on the offset it might rub on the stock strut. 

    HKS/Tuning Developments/Cobra cat-less manifold would be the first noticeable power mod you can do, especially when it unlocks the possibility of a remap from Tuning Developments. 

    Either way, I did this: Panel filter > exhaust > suspension > wheels & tyres  

    Already done all those things mate. I've put a big list of things I've already done up the top

    How are we supposed to tell you what to do next?

    Browse the forum and the build threads to see if anything takes your fancy. Look at the parts websites like Tarmac Sportz, Tuning Developments etc

    It's impossible for us to recommend anything when we know nothing about you, how you use the car, how you intend to use it in the future, what your budget is, what your style is...etc

    It's more of a suggest rather telling me.

    It's a case of is chassis bracing worth it, sort shifter, weight reduction (where possible) etc

    But I will have a look at other posts 🙂

    Without knowing how you use the car it's hard to say, do you do track days or is it purely a daily driver?

    Do you feel like there is a deficiency with any part of the car?

    Assuming you track the car, the one thing missing from you list is braking. I'd suggest some uprated pads and fluid. 

    Ooooh yeah, I forgot to put brakes on the list. I've got EBC disks and yellow stuff pads.

    They're better than stock but big brake kits is one thing that's a possibility if I can get some used ones in the future.

    Hi everyone!

    Basically I want to get some opinions on what I should be thinking of for my next modification. I've done my research quiet a bit to get where I am now mod wise I'm happy with the results so far just it's kind of turned into a mine field of possibilities for the next step.

    So far the car has had these done to it:

    Work T7R wheels (18")

    Yokohama V105 tyres

    BC racing Coilovers

    K&N typhoon intake

    Greddy Evo 4 Cat back

    TD UEL manifold and map

    EBC disks and yellow stuff pads

    I'm trying to go down the performance route but I also don't really want to spend money on stuff that won't really be beneficial.

    So again basically I'm looking for you good folk for a bit of knowledge and advise what I should be aiming for next and what to avoid wasting time with.

    I.e. is bracing worth it, roll bars, weight reduction etc etc.

    Cheers guys!!

    Hey, thought I'd reopen the discussion 😜

    I'm insured through Sky Insurance ATM and covered by Agaes. With 16 year's of no claims I've paid £660 and an additional £99.25 as I've just moved house and I'm about to ring them today to add mods, reduce mileage and protect my no claims .... I'm very nervous about the amount I'm gonna have to pay 🙄😞😭
