100 pounds..

[nathan.warren69]

Hi Guys,
I was thinking what are a few mods that I could do for roughly 100 pounds that make even a bit of difference.

I'm not limited to 100 pounds but I thought that would be a good starting point for now

I'm also toying with the idea of almera Air box and K&N filter, Keeping my standard air box and K&N filter but redoing the air intake or getting a cone filter and also having a cold air feed.

Any ideas what the best option for performance would be?

Almera airbox with a cold air feed maybe..... Bigger brakes are good but wont make you faster, however he who brakes last corners first.

ahh cool thanks, I was also thinking I might be able to get another throttle body from some ware and grind the butterfly down a little like EBB did just not sure where to get one from not sure where to get an air box either, Where is the best place to mount the cold air feed? currently its a larger feed but its still behind the light

Anyone else? im just looking for Cheap worth while mods to get a good 0-60 time

If yours is a 1.0L a set of 1.3 cams will do you the world of good (I assume that works for C/P cars?)

Also try and get a Frankspeed mani or a cheap 4-2-1

Start chopping things off, to lighten... Behind door cards, sound deadening etc.

I have the 1.4 coil pack with a frankspeed Mani, Decat and Peter Lloyd system, Lowered on Apex springs and Bilstein shocks And a custom CAI with a K&N Panel

for a ton I would consider replacing serviceable items that are coming towards the end of life or upgrading the brakes so you can stop sooner.

Hmm good idea that's one I am actually considering Also considering saving like 500 and getting a remap..

Wide wheels.

 

[nathan.warren69]

Is that for better traction? I still haven't got Alloys I really want like 15 spoke Black 14s or Black Minilites

Like mine

Nah, just coz it'll still be pretty slow whatever you do with your £100 - so you may as well look good while you are doing it.

^would look pretty coll with less of both tyre and ride height. Nice colour over the black wheels.

 

[AJC]

I totally agree with you, just comes down to funds atm, something i dont have a great deal of. Thinking of 40-50mm drop, just need to save up for the parts

have the head skimmed til it detonates on less than 98ron (10.5:1 ish?), remove the air filter and strip the interior, gut the cats and silencers so they're straight through (ish), perspex windows, then chop out as many brackets/other metal bits as possible.

 

[nathan.warren69]

AJC, They are the wheels I want but I would want to refurb them so that they have like a thin red rim the whole way round. But that's exactly what I want.. Where did you get them

Brakes won't improve the 0-60 time, but agree with changing the service items

 

[nathan.warren69]

Okay well pads eill be done on my next service probably next month as they are starting to get a little low and I was thinking of changing the disks, Im not sure weather to go for just standard disks or the likes of grooved disks or something.. Im not on a track to often only a few Autosolo's etc
