Question

Hi peeps, wondering if someone could give a bit of advice.
I have 800 pounds to spend at the moment on my scooby.
What would you do as a starter bearing in mind that the scooby is totally standard at present. Ideas like exhaust spring to mind but would I be better off waiting for more money & getting a remap done ? Is a remap better before changing exhaust or similar ?
Wheels are now 17's so no point in changing them.

Appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanx.
Andy.

Brakes. Geometry/bumpsteer. Suspension?

Power - full exhaust, panel filter, remap.

If you want to go further, front mount intercooler too?

Thanks John.
I should probably have said before but engine needed rebuilding after it blew so thats why I was wondering about the remap.

Unhappy

John
Was up in the 6-7K region for a short period of time & the engine stalled. Story of conrod piston etc so had engine rebuilt as I did not fancy another engine (DVLA etc). Dont know if it has any bearing on it but scooby had recently been serviced.
Just unlucky I suppose.
