Question

What are your opinions on the best mod for your car bearing in mind the price!!!!
I found that my 2nd hand Scoobysport dowpipe so far was the best,worked out it cost me £70 cash
This will probably give me maybe 12 bhp?
Equatiting to £5.83 for 1 bhp WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!
If only tuning companies sold BHP of the shelf for £5.80 each !!!!!!!
Cheers
Darren

The best mod I have had and I have had tons was the PE Phase 1 brought a smile to my face and a shock to my system as most of the old lads on the list will know. 2nd was the HKS Hiper Exhaust what a great sound, just a bit much all the time.

I agree the phase 1 on my old Sti with my HKS drain pipe gave a huge grin factor if a touch noisy!!

IMHO - an advanced driver training course will give you the biggest gain in overall performance for a reasaonable outlay in money

I had the PE phase 1 with exhaust improvements. It is a piggyback remap which gave my 208 bhp car, 283bhp & 276Torque.
