next performance mod ? :) - 18/07/2006 16:38
ok, i think ive got the basic 'stage1' mods in place:
k&n panel
drilled airbox
gtec1
boost contol/gauge - 1.2bar
so what would be the next mods that people generally go for?
thanks

Personally I'd spend it on a genuine Evo 8/9 intercooler + straight induction pipe + fuel pump voltage mod. Or spend the money on handling mods!

Brakes and suspension next. If these are currently standard they aren't capable of working well with any more power.

brakes is defo a good idea, they do seem quite pathetic as they are.

what effect would fitting a supersprint catback exhaust have on the car?

From what i've heard, all the upgraded discs [***] up eventually. Hanny told me this, though thinking about it, this was 2 years ago...
He said off off the cross-drilled bits fail and showed me it on his car. Personally i'd just go for decent front pads to start with. Wish I had, cos mine cook very quickly...

the exhaust will free everything up a bit - maybe 5 bhp gain + be a basis for future mods. I have one in the parts for sale section if you dont mind a second hand supersprint.

No need for bigger discs without totally changing the brake system - which is REALLY expensive. The rear brakes dont do all that much in the coupe anyway as all the weight is up front... I'd go for better pads + upgrade the discs when they wear out - see 3G discs in the group buys section. Go for grooved discs IMO...
