Fair enough buddy.

I think maybe you meant engine/performance mods??

In which case, in my case....a whole turbo engine with REV 3 upgrades :thumleft:

Ive seen alot of people go on about how standard wheels with falken tyres are best. I found this ok untill i blew a damper and fitted bc coilovers with 4/6kg springs, then the big standard baloon tyres where doin all the damping and suspension was doin nothing. I now have 215 40 17 continental contisportcontact 3 up front on 17x8 et32 and 245 40 17 continental contisportcontact 5 out back on 17x9 et38. For me this is awesome, so much grip but also if aggressive can get sliding about easily for faster turn in or to just muck about. Im happy with the lightly tuned power of decat induction and back box gives me, the decent sized quality rubber never seems to get over whelmed whist ripping it out junctions on the 90 degree whist before it would light up easily over the deviations in the road with not great acceleration.
So id advice on my preferences as just keep serviced run healthy bhp and tighten the chassis up with decent coilovers, wheels, tyres, poly bush, ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends then keep the chassis as rust free as possible and enjoy a sports car to its full potential that more expensive machinery can not match for that great old fashioned drivability.
Can you tell iv fell in love with mine :lover: :lover: :lover: :lover: :lover:

Ps rev3 tubby btw
