What would you do with £850.00?
What would you do if you had a Hawkeye STI type UK and £850.00? I say £850 because I have told the wife that a map and turbo to back box with a 100-cell cat would cost about that and Christmas is coming so she has been prept ;)... I am wondering though, if this is the best option.. The thought of 330 bhp a few pops form a bit of overrun and roar from the exhaust is a massive appeal.
It is my main car and the car currently has an afterburner vortex back box, (hence turbo to back box) performance friction front discs and pads all round, mud flaps and an alpine cd player other than that it is standard. As soon as the struts go i will probably go for bc coilovers so I recon I can blag the misses on that front. as you know SM will charge £1,000 a pair, and bc's are what £650.. So would you go turbo back exhaust and map or something different? i.e. replacement cat and down pipe and map (which would cost less I presume). Would love to know your thoughts..:thumb: Cheers Ben |
Personally I'd be going looks as the car is pretty quick as it is and to be honest where can you use the extra punch.
Wheels/tyres Front Splitter Perrin Stiffies If you wanted power I'd grab a deresonated centre section for a little noise and call Duncan at Dynamix who will map your car on the road for under £400 So for £800 I reckon you could go half way, splitter, stiffies, map. Maybe grab a second hand ppp cat aswell, Duncan will be able to advise on best set up though. |

Bin the subframe and fit a replacement kit :D
I need a ramp to do the last couple of bits but the difference in just losing the Subframe was amazing ! Suspension, chassis mods are probably my favourites.:) http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._4090873_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6663731_n.jpg |
Id say concentrate on handleing. So Coilovers and rear anti roll bar would be my choice:thumb:

for £850 i would say, walbro fuel pump
decat downpipe open source map (andy carr) front splitter (ht autos) rear arb + uprated front bushes this i reckon should be pretty much there or there abouts for £850, keep your eyes peeled in the for sale section. dont forget labour though if you are not doing the work yourself, should be no more than £100ish though. PS, wait for the struts to start knocking before fitting coilovers, should be easier to blag the missus that way lol |

What would I buy with £850?
A night with a high class whore and 2 grammes of coke. :D |
