only kidding it all depends on what you want to achieve.

You will regret asking that question as it will now lead to a life of non stop modding!.

Most popular would be to change the exhaust system for a sports cat etc with straight centre pipe and a nice back box. Blitz Nur R/Afterburner vortex are always favorites. Uprate the fuel pump and get a remap, should keep you smiling for a while. Really the mods are endless depending on what you want out of the car. Wheels, Brakes, suspension?. Just have fun with it.

i am happy with the car i just wondered what improvements i should consider and in what order.

I'd suggest upgrading the suspension first, maybe coilovers and possibly the brakes, then you hav a good basis to go for power mods

Exhaust from the turbo back, 255l/hr fuel pump, panel filter and a remap will transform the car.

1. Suspension - for a start rear ARB (Whiteline 22mm adjustable) and droplinks.
2. Brakes. Either new pads (Ferodo/Mintex), disks, or if you can afford it better calipers (be careful as some, such as Brembo's, won't fit under your wheels).
3. Sportscat/decat downpipe and 2nd cat, backbox, panel filter, possibly fuel pump and remap from one of the respected mappers on here (have a search).
4. Stereo

Ok, I did 4 first, lived with it as standard for a bit then started on the other stuff once I'd got used to it.

You can do the backbox at any time.

Remember to tell the insurance company!
