Default project type r engine advise please

hi lads this is my 99 v5 type r

3 months ago i got her fully re sprayed and done a complete detail on the new paint

changed my wheels from 17" to 18" a week ago (possibily going to get them painted gold too)

in next week or two i doing brembo conversion front and rear

and possibily a 6 speed conversion too

then next after that is engine rebuild nothing wrong at the minute but rather build it before something does

looking for as much info as possible on what parts you recommend to change while its out suppliers and advise and experinces you had while doing it

thanks

This is a "How long is a piece of string?" question mate.

Need to know the following:

What do you intend on using the car for? Road track etc
What are your power goals?
What is your intended budget?
Are you going to swap to 6 speed?

As above, your power goals will decide whether you need a 6 speed or not.
