BBK is not a bad idea

Might do the final drive once I need to redo the diff

The grill shouldn't be as big a problem as Steve thinks. I'm going to set up some temperature logging on stock intake and after the SC and after the grill.

As for the alloys & tyres - I'll have a play once I've sorted the suspension. I'll weigh them all to see which is lighter. I've used the AVS sports before they are good, but not that good in the wet thought.

Thanks PL on the ICE support I'm not as hard core as Steve and the OEM kit is pants plus I like my tunes.

Steve isn't hard core! The namby runs a dual exhaust!

Oh, just taken off my own DIY front grille after four years - that'll be a respray for the bumper then..

I find it weird you talk about depreciation then you plan BIG mods to an S...

I'm sure if you bought any of the cars you mention at a sensible point on their depreciation curves it would be cheaper.

But less fun

Looking forward to reading about your progress

If you do the final drives as well, take out first gear, it;ll be a waste of time!

Don't make this any more sticky than it already is, from Mikey dribbling on the keyboard!

Yeah but if I do decide to move on (eventually ) I can easily put the car back to stock and most the modes will return decent money.
