Depends what makes you grin! If you like noise, a sports exhaust is pretty cost effective. If you like going fast round tracks, then Nitrons. However, you can never have enough power... but that's not cheap!

Ally heater control knobs!

I would have to say K&N filter. The difference in noise the first time I nailed it was fantastic. £60 well spent

Xeroth Mod . . . learn to drive it

First Mod . . . dampers and decent geo . . . A set of Nitrons, correctly set up, makes more difference to the car that 3x the cost in engine mods . . .

Second Mod . . . more and reliable power . . . I have a PTP based vhpd now, revs like a nutter to the limiter, makes overtaking so much less stressfull ;-)
