montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I've got £80 sitting about and I wanna spend it, but I dunno what on! I've got most of the "obvious" mods that most people tend to get, fmic, mani, exhaust, filter, etc. so dunno what I should spend this £80 on. Was thinking a front strut brace - do they make *that* much difference? Any ideas? Quote
VeilsideDX Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Well mate your in luck there is post with allot of goodies you should take a look . Quote
tommywilsonuk Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 buy me a HKS Actuator... dont worry ill stump in the 5'er your short! im that kinda guy!!*Thumbs Up* Quote
montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 I was thinking about getting mine refurbed in white, so even though they are diff front and back it would look a lot neater! Quote
keirz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 anti lift kit mate if your thinking for performance, or add a little extra and get a rear arb.doesnt your gt already have the stock front strut brace, if so changing to another will only be for looks really and wont see you any other gains. Quote
tommywilsonuk Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 montanajr .. got any links to pics of your car?just interested? Quote
montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 Cheers keirz mate! Yeah got the stock front strut, was looking at the rear cusco ones for sale on here! Had an ALK on order, but was taking weeks and weeks 'because of a supply problem with whiteline, so cancelled it. I'll wait til they get them in stock, then re-order. Was thinking possibly ARB , thats a possibility. Quote
keirz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 ive just fitted mine mate, the arb and anti lift together and has seen a good improvement and the understeer when pushing it round the bends has been reduced, lots more grip to the front wheels too, well worth the money in my opinion.a rear brace wont be too noticable really but its nice to have and looks sweet, especially when striped out with a c pillar bar too.

montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 I was also thinking about a torque damper, 'because its all well and good having all a lot of power, but 1st gear is pretty much useless to me. Just spins and spins, wet or dry. Really pisses me off! Thing is, they are so fuckin' expensive! Check on eBay and engine dampers for other car are like, £30ish. For ours, £130 ;) Quote
keirz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 i know that on my list too, anti lift helps and also some good tyres Quote
montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah, I wish my ALK came through! Got Kumho Ecstas on the fronts, not too bad! Quote
Idrees Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 How about upgrading your air filter to an Apexi? They don't cost too much and I don't think that Universal thing will be doing your engine too good mate! Quote
montanajr Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah thats a good shout. Wheres cheapest for the Apexi's?EDIT - Seen this, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-APEXi-Power-Inta...1QQcmdZViewItem ,but don't know whether or not it'll fit, does anybody have any pics of the apexi filter without an adaptor plate, I can see whether or not I can get it to fit? Cheers. Quote
