Default What's the best mod you have

I'm looking to do a few bits to my 4x4 saph cosworth over the next few months.

What's the best mod you have done. I'm not building a race car and I'm hoping to keep it a fairly nice road car it's 400 hp as it is.

I'm think Hyd clutch is it worth doing?

As a £££ vs performance benefit, without a doubt the uprated diff mount and solid beam mounts

The hydraulic clutch conversion makes a big difference, one of the best things you can do.

New engine loom with all new sensors and a L8 closed loop & Anti-lag setup.

The loom and new sensors transformed the smoothness of the engine and the anti lag is just the most fun ever!

Rear strut brace and diff mount has made a big improvement to how my 3dr drives. Money well spent.

If you haven't got some decent brakes up front I'd invest in those, followed by a secs monitor or modern day equivalent to monitor the engine and a decent suspension set up; koni shocks and ahmed springs or coil overs
