£2,500 Burning a Hole

[7 TVR]

Ok cars back on road as of today and MOT picked up weeping Shocks and a few other minors, so figure its time i lavished some TLC on the beast! so i'm throwing it out there,What would you do with £2,500 to spend on a standard car with the exception of some shocks, hoses and suspension mods??
Thanks for the input in advance!
A TOP 5 Mod list format would be interesting!

Depends what you want out of the car. I'd look at something like:

Brake upgrade, aftermarket ECU, wild cam, delete precats, big throttle body of some description & some tuning. It's tight on the £2k5 budget, but not impossible.

Some decent shocks (Bilsteins Rule) if you havnt already changed them , mine werent leaking , just worn internally after nearly 50k miles And the improvement was VERY noticeable,( I used to work for Monroe) also changeing the Only slightly worn front discs with std ones , vastly improved the brakeing . Replacement ball joints also made a significant difference.

Leave the car as it is, for the time being.

Apply for a non race national B licence, get yourself a Race suit, Helmet and Gloves. Bolt a timing strut on and enter a few Sprints or Hillclimbs.

After just a few events you will have had lots of fun and know exactly what mods to start thinking about.

A 12 000 mile service. Then smooth induction hoses, braided brake hoses and fast road pads. A geo set up after the new shocks are installed. An ECU re-map and some rolling road time. It will get the best out of what you have already - it makes a big difference to the way the car drives and you might see a little bit of change out of your money.

What he said.

I'd add a couple of tuition sessions, too. And not just the 20 minutes at a track day.

similar to what beens said already, invest some money in the driver, have a full day or two with someone like ridedrive so you`ll learn to get the most out of the car first.

A Chimaera body shell

2 grands worth of titanium patellas for you I reckon Andy?

Better off with a new face before the body off anyway

So Blair must have pushed through a sneaky bill specifically to have Quinny MOT'd

I didn't think he had it in him

Blair either

[BliarOut]

That I didn't...

[Pasco]

Nitrons

Bigger brakes

Induction mods also remove the cats

Wilder cam

All of which will give you the best value for money at £2.5

All IMHO
