nice car mate. Your rear lights are infact standard and not "clear and red"

you can de-amber them from inside though which looks much better

also get a straight filter to turbo pipe run and relocate the battery to the boot or where the filer sits now

get an oil catch can and lose the stock oil seperator. get an oil cooler and put a cap on your overflow tank

but most important of all change the standard brakes (uprating the discs is not good enough really)

once you do all that the cars perfect at 1bar no need to try and do any more IMHO

Plus removing air-con takes 30kgs off the car and what a nasty job it is to get off! But It's do-able!


Hi-Spec are you best bet for brakes 300mm with $ pots are lovely!

Be very weary if a starter motor go's! Days job t get to it and 200 odd quid for a new item!

Also change the transmission fluid and anti-freesze and all fluids when you get the car!
