JLF88 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Been a few cheap front bumpers going this week. Keep your eye out,http://bit.ly/1hisda1http://bit.ly/Pk5FzYOne sold earlier for £20. Was cut as was ready for an intercooler, but was good conditionRearshttp://bit.ly/1essQwVhttp://bit.ly/1hisAl1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Where can I find these haha Brand new Magnecore's cost about £80, so if your on a tight budget i'd wait until you see someone on here selling theirs for cheaper. Some people do get the NGK ones which are cheaper, but I dont know where to get them. Also get some decent Spark plugs to go with them, something like NGK heat range 6 or 7 (I think) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keiranstar168 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Will the leads make a difference to performance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JLF88 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Not loads but yes they will, especially If you get some good plugsThese plugs are what you need (best price going)http://bit.ly/1hitqy6And these leads are best for pricehttp://bit.ly/1dMVden Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Id concentrate on handling mods tbh buddy.Strut braces can be picked up quite cheap. I'd also say get some GT seats, they are really comfy and quite supportive, cheap to buy and pretty easy to put in a EP91. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 With an N/A the wont add much power as such, but they stop you losing power through having poor ignition leads really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 No requirement to upgrade ht leads at this stage. Not expensive, local scrap yards you'll be able to pick corolla parts up cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Depends who you get them from and if you need to use a courier to get them. Would say 50-60 is a good price for a pair. Check the for sale section am sure theres some in there.Also forgot to say putting brakes from a turbo starlet is also a good cheap upgrade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Torque damper. Good brake pads. Brake master cylinder. Good steering wheel. Good tyres. Broadway mirror. Poly bush stuff (engine mounts, rear beam, etc etc). Service/maintenance. Wire tuck engine bay. Strut braces. Colour code stuff if not already. Lower it. Nice gear knob. LED dash lights/side lights/numberplate bulbs. The list is endless, really determines what you consider cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
