right ive got a series 1 rs turbo getting body work done & the old guy thats doing it said he'll have it done in a month but its pay day today & he wont take the cash before its finished, so all thats done to it is:
magnex system,
k&n,
samco's,
koni's,
ive baught a full set of polly bushes today but what can i buy next that costs about £500 or round about that before i spend it cos i cant save so why not spend it on sumthing solid for the car before it gets pissed against a wall?

AndyRST

A GRS intercooler and 2 kenlow fans and get your orginal Radiator recored. Reckon that lot will set you back about £500 but well worth doing as it will be ready for a increase in boost and still keep the water temps down in this hot weather

smitsturbo

that sounds ok but isnt there a waiting list for grs?

AndyRST

Dont know, you'll have to get intouch with Graham @ GRS and ask. IF there is a waiting list it because its the best product you can buy for the RS Turbo

rauri

defo spend it on the car m8 coz im sure i seen you swaying about last friday night at around half 2 in queen street


spliter was a perfect fit by the way...cheers

Keep some money and get it set-up properly by a pro tuner

Upgrade the front brakes to Series 2 items, or even Cossie brakes as we all know the Series 1 brakes are poo.

smitsturbo

its nae cheep either, had to pay for drinks & shoes cos they where getting scraped all the way up the street. no bother mate cheers

well ive just baught a set of avo front coilovers with it before the weekend starts,
next month: MEF motorsport rear coilovers ,
its costing me nearly a grand just so it can handle like a dream & so i can get a set of the new 17" compomotive mo 6 spokes will go on
i feal so robbed as ive never spent so much on a car before?

starturbo

Just a little bit down the boozer wont hurt..........will it?

you'll need a bit more than just coilovers to get a mk3 to handle mate

i would get a pro alloy IC if you are looking in that direction

smitsturbo

i thaught they handle pretty well for the age of the things?

Keith B

They do handle pretty well, better than a S2

Indeed they do

Bigger / better brakes is the first mod to make your car go faster

AndyRST

I wouldnt

rs shawn

They won't make the car faster, but they will mean you can brake later and more effectively so you will shorten any driving times, making it *seem* like the car is quicker, but it's not

I do agree it should be your first mod always on the performance side.
First mod styling-wise is the vanilla magic tree
