What upgrades shall I do??

Hi all,

My tax runs out on Tuesday and have decided to not renew. I need to pull the flywheel off as I think the rear main is leaking. I also have a clutch issue I want to sort.

So the question is, what upgrades shall I look at to get a bit more power whilst its all out?

2.0 Blacktop running plenham and single throttle body on original ecu.

Locost options obviously the most interesting.

I've got 6 months to do it.

Thanks

Andy

How about a straight swap ST170 lump? Plenty of info on here thanks to Wasa and quite cheap.

What's it handle like ?

One of the best performance mod's is to check the suspension settings etc and adjust where required.

No point it having more power if the car isn't handling great to start with

Handles great, never had a problem with that. I just fancy a bit more oomph!!

I am working on budget Turbo with oem ecu.

Already worked out the wiring.

How does 212bhp sound on a stock blacktop.

Sounds tempting.....

Turbo might just be the way forward.....
