Question

Right, i wasn't going to fukc about with my MY02, but after hitting this site everyday for the past couple of months, i feel the need to do something. I am having eibachs fitted at its next service, but also want to make it quicker. What should i do first? induction kit or exhaust. And which one? I don't want the thing to sound too load as it also a family car and i dont want misses to know i have done anything (spent money) to it.

Upgrade your brakes, your car will not be any faster (or louder) but you will be able to get from A to B more quickly.

Decat downpipe : Should increase engine flexibility (turbo spools up faster) without much extra noise. Cost-wise it's not too much either, so the missus probably won't notice you've sneaked a mod through. . .

I sold a Tek3 custom remap to the missus on the basis of improved engine efficiency ( )and got the downpipe done at the same time.

Good luck

Dawes = manual boost controller

fuel cut defender = stops you hitting a brick wall every time you hit 16 psi or something

knock link = listens out for det in your car

afr = monitors your air and fuel ratio

Check out scoobyshop mate. All the things that I've mentioned is in there.

So far a lot of my stuff came from JW-racing.co.uk. I have bought parts from www.scoobyworld.co.uk and www.lateral-performance.co.uk and they're good too. It all depends on what you're looking for.
