Question What parts do i need?? If i need them?

Hello,

Its me again! Might be a dumb question or two here

So been thinking not to get a new RS and spend the money on doing up the old saff and even saving money there (get the RS next year!)

Just wanted to know it someone can please help me find all the parts i need as i am not sure what i need in the first place!

So i want to upgrade my saff by putting nice things on it (not sure what) would it help to put better cooling systems in and brakes plus suspension? As i would like to chip it up a stage or two (from a stage 2) would i need to change alot? I need to find somewhere i can get the wiring done too (somewhere close), as someone did say get the fuel and fan lines done (or i think it was them?)

I would like to learn and fit everything myself just not sure what to buy in order to do so.

Best site i found was http://www.burtonpower.com/Default.aspx and that was just a cosworth tuning search on google. Is it worth buying some things from ebay? Not even sure what makes are good or not?



Many Thanks Eigdoog

P.S. <==My brain going mad

Don't spend money just for the sake of it(give it to me instead!!), a lot depends on how you drive, no point upgrading stuff if you don't need it, the std brakes can be improved a lot by better pads, and grooved discs, I use EBC yellowstuff myself work perfect from cold as well.
The two most important things are to get the fuel pump rewired and the fan loom changed, both very very easy diy, so that way you don't kill your engine.
I would try to get rides in other cossie's that have different suspension to see what you like best, I love avo coilys myself but a lot find coilys way too hard.

I have been told when i got my car he told me all thats been done is a stage 2 and green injectors thats it.

I think i need to join a club or something so i ca try other other cossie's as know one around where i live has one of theses cars.

As for the wiring is there a step by step i can follow?

I in Ely, I think there is a club in Norfolk somewhere.

I have not took it out for a full spin (only a test drive) needed to get the fuel tank done and underseal it, now got to find a bumper and a front light. while i have it on a ramp i wanted to get everything done.

I wanted to read up on everything first and sum up on what to buy

A pair sounds good, the front two lights one has a hole in and the other have a nasty chip and also need a fog light as one has a hole in.

I did call then e-mail someone who is breaking there saff but they just have not contacted me back.

PM sent thanks

Is there a website you go to to buy all your toys? or do you just shop around and get what you want when needed?

put on here what you want and quite often people will put up the best place to get them from, 9 times out of 10 MSD are the best place to speak to both for advice and parts
