Real answer would be software and tune.

Truthful answer is the brakes....but a smidge over £2k!

Remove standard 'sport' seats with semi-buckets and replace the wheel from Mary Rose's helm with something altogether more kartish.

Pyschologically empowering, despite possessing the driving repertoire of a deatomised amoeba.

It's not how good you are but how much fun you're having!

AP Brakes

Ripshifter

Stereo system

Good to see you lurking on this forum Der, adding a bit of English culture to the proceedings. I sense the possibility of a VXR 6.0 on the horizon?

Best low cost mod. must have been the front strut brace(sub £200 fitted). Supercharger & AP Brakes takes you into the "Super Car" league.

[V8HSV]

Based on £2k I would say titanium tints (they keep heat out) which are great in summer & stop prying eyes (7" screen in the back are not detectable on first glance). Strut brace - well recc. Front & rear reversing sensors (hidden behind bodywork)which is a great safety device too, anyone had someone run round the back whilst you are reversing? Fitment of 245 section tyres, this stops the rims being damaged via kerbing.

Loud CAT back exhaust followed (due to the DTCs !) by HPTuners software and a wideband. I've had hours of fun scanning the car on the way to work and then remapping it for the trip home !

[moosepig]

Pardon my ignorance - DTCs?

[uk hsv]

Diagnostic Trouble Codes .....

Codes recorded by the PCM when things go wrong with the car.........

[island boy hsv]

DTC's

Diagnostic trouble codes, these are the codes that the engine management computer stores away to allow a dealer or tuner to understand why the engine check light is on.

Best mod I have done 2k or less

Whiteline strut brace from Demon Tweaks

[jagsy]

OK more serious reply now hmmmmmmmmmmm

-Ripshifter - excellent
-Shock tower brace - only one clunk from the front in over 1k miles
-Chevy grille - bling
-Premium fuel

The best
-Its gotta be the tune from Wortec - it brings alive the zorst and intake mods
