There is some tasty mods here and some serious Cash bing spent

asid fom the 500bhp engine, uprated diffs, gearbox, brakes and suspention i want the newest editing to my shopping list is a new Steering Rack, Adjustable TCA's, Adjustable Top Mounts, Wheel Bearing Kit Front and Wheel Bearing Kit Rear

I mean to have a the best handeling escos you can get please correct me if im wrong but if you renew and get the above parts, have new Brakes al round, new suspention, Adjustable rear beam, frame connectors, strut braces with the rear tieing in the diff mount is there anything else you can really do other than spend stupid money on better shocks?

sorry if this post was a little long i might start a new topic on the handeling and suspention upgrades

I think I can make an endless list here...

The most important mod's:

- silicone hoses for coolant
- koni or bilstein shocks and Eibach springs
- polybushes
- fitting the bosch fuelpump
- Hybrid turbo and -31 actuator
- fast road clutch
- new engine mounts
- fitting the goodridge brake hoses

Time to save some cash

Roose Boost Hose kit first then maybe if my budget can stretch to it this year a nice set of 18" or 19" Alloys . Then maybe once it's had then paint work sorted I might treat it to a Carbon Fibre Splitter and a full suspension kit, need to pile in the overtime before that happens though
