No. You've just got the biggest gain for the cheapest cost. Don't chase this one as it only gets silly expensive. You could go for an air filter change. exhaust etc but you'll only get couple bhp increase at the wheels overall. Just enjoy the tuning box or else you'll end up spending crazy amounts. If you want faster, buy something fast!

Have a caterham or bike engined car or something similar in the garage for those bored days.

You also have the pleasure of seeing yourself doing 40mpg + on the road when others at the same speed are doing less than 20mpg.

My evo 6's did about 15-20mpg at 70-80mph due to the high state of tune. They were revving at 4k+ rpm at motorway speeds.

ok point taken lol.

put some nice bits and pieces on it. Colour coded grille, wheels, suspension, brakes etc. It's ok for a car to go fast but not good if it won't stop quickly too. Can't beat decent brakes. Also decent suspension will help make the extra speed more useable and they look better lowered a bit.
Oh, how about some undercar neons??? LOL

ps, joking about the neons.

Looks nice

What wheels are those?

You could go for LMF's 314mm upgrade or spend silly money on 6 pots!

**mikey68** · 18th August 2008, 18:06

looks nice and low. What suspension or springs you using?

i got fk coilovers on it at the mo.thinking about takin it a little lower tho

..the wheels are lambo replicas.got the idea from a nice vectra b i saw a while back.they obviously dont fit to start with so have to get them machined first and use wats called wobbly bolts instead of normal wheel bolts.
