what mods would ya do to a car with a grand?

what would you do to a standard motor with a grand?

[Snake the Sniper]

Depend upon the motor, but generally, better tyres, better brakes (probably just limited to pads/discs given the budget) and then maybe look at suspension upgrades. Maybe have a look at upping the power, but it would depend upon the engine as to whether you could get much for a few hundred quid.

Drive it to Spearmint Rhino...

Buy a spell checker, then get some decent tyres, then proper 4 wheel alignment by someone that knows what they are doing.

My process would be:
1) Sell car
2) Buy car that's 1000 pounds worth of better

Looking for some ideas on your Punto?

Good tyres if not on there already, then spend the rest on driver training, trackdays and petrol. Better to improve the driver than the car.

Serious answer - Tyres and rebush the suspension with polyurethene bushes

He always does, although I'm not sure why Sean has brought himself the 8V Punto when there are Sportings about.

Not entirely sure this would net any reasonable gains on a NA engine.....

yep That's my vote. Mind you, most older cars need money spending on them to make them right, even the car worth £1000 more so I'd probably just do what the car needs doing to it. For example, if it's done over 60-70k miles new springs and dampers, tyres and a four wheel alignment will transform it. That's possible for under a grand on most cars (my E36 325i that I used to have was £800 for all of the above, although my 328i just cost £2,100 for the same thing Drives nicely now though!)
