Default your one dream modification...

everymonth after direct debits and mortgage etc i have about 200quid to spunk on my cossie. However, im about to get a bonus of 1k cash, and with a bit of extra money i saved i was thinking of getting a borg warner turbo while i got the money there. I know it needs other mods but clutch head work etc etc can easily be saved for. Is there any other mod i havent thought of where it would take u so long to save up for? Gearbox i hope will be fine

Mine would be a rwd conversion on the focus estate shell I have got knocking around.

Would be quite different seeing one with a zetec turbo in rather than a yb.

IMO the best mod you can do to a cossie is a gripper or quaife diff

Doesn't matter what the power the car is an uprated diff will make the more drivable and you'll be able to use the power better.

depends on what you want from the car ...
for me it would be suspension, brakes etc no point in having a fast car that cant handle or stop
i would look at what would give me the best all round upgrades rather than 1 big one.. but everyone has thier own want list
