Default You've got £750

This might be a good one for anyone with a new car and thinking of modifying it.

You've got £750 spare cash burning a hole in your pocket. What do you spend it on

Styling
Handling, or
Engine


And why? I'm imagining Frayz will give us the definitive answer on this

handling also for £750 you will see better gains for your money, than £750 spent on engine (depending on what you have already done to your car ) .

I said styling, as I am more of a stunner rather than a runner!!
£750 would get you a great set of graphics, plus change for a few other bits!

Easy one this... Handling!!

£750 wouldnt go along way but it would make some fundemental changes that would really add some sparkle to an otherwise stock impreza.

Uprated pads, Ferodo DS3000 front/rear -
Massively better than the DS2500 and really work.

Motul RBF 600 Brake fluid.

Whiteline rear anti roll bar

Noltec rear droplinks.

Mocom Racing geometry setup.

Deffo my choice if i was in that position

Thanks Frayz

Just goes to show that most peole's heads say handling, but the heart says engine.....

Perhaps I should have added a 4th option - Ring Sticker - but does that come under styling, handling, engine or all 3

Ring sticker can be added at anytime... only after the full Nordschleife has been driven though

Add the handling mods i suggested first though, you'll be wanting them if going to the ring.
