....I got a standard UK Classic (March 2000 W plate)in Mica Red seven months ago. First thing i did was put on a Ninja b/b, followed by a H&S decat downpipe and now have a H&S decat centre. I've also put in an ITG filter. I have also colour coded the side and rear skirts which has made a much improved visual appearence IMO and have on order a P1 style front splitter which will arrive after Xmas.
Now i have to be careful with the pennies at the moment, but am wondering whether i should go for a set of Pro Race One 17" twelve spoke wheels or stick with the standard 16" rims and go for a group N brake upgrade instead? I can't make my mind up as to which way to go. All four tyres are having to be replaced which made me think of taking the opportunity of going over to 17's.
within a year if possible, i would like to have the car chipped to around 280-300bhp, so are group N spec brakes good enough for such bhp?
Any ideas anyone???...wheels or brakes?????????????????????????????...or something else????

smurfy.

Neither - save the cash , save up some more then do brakes properly some Brembos or APs etc at the same time get a remap and wheels of course if you play your cards right and keep an eye on the for sale forum there are some bargains to be had and the above will not cost as much as you think
