improvements to your cerbera

[marcus1970]

A lot of stuff that can be done to cerberas to improve them in our search for the perfect car (we have a head start as nothing ever comes close to the looks and styling of a cerbera)is difficult to find, even when you do get to hear about it.

I just thought that if there is anything that you've had done to your cars that has improved them, no matter how small eg 18" spiders make it look heavenly, then you could list them on this thread. It would help those of us who like to improve our cars over a period of time and to add bits here or replace bits there.

Any ideas/mods more than welcome!

IMHO, this is an ideal set-up. You will probably know most of these mods, which is testament to how tried and tested they are:

- Front headlight concersion (if necessary) to Sp6
- Rear light conv to new look, not Halfords afterburners
- Sports exhaust and decat
- 18" spiders
- Nitron suspension
- ECU remap (Mines Austec)

Lots to do mechanically and cosmetically;

- Nitrons
- 17-18" wheels, Spiders are great (I have them) but they have a tendancy to buckle
- brake upgrade esp. if increasing wheel size and engine welly!
- Power upgrade - AUSTEC for V8, jury out on who for Speed 6
- Carbon induction bits from Carbon Al
- Sports Zorst - obviously! Love mine from Peninsula

- Aluminium dash pedals and other bits from Leven esp in light coloured cars
- Rear light cluster update
- Head light conversion (not for me as an ex-Tuscan owner who thinks it looks wrong on a Cerb)
- Powerbulb upgrade if sticking with original lights
- Dave Beevor's handbrake surround
- More watts on the sound system
- Shinynuts?

Crickey this is getting expensive, what about an Aston - nahhh!

Re: Spiders, when I was looking for my cerb, one of the chaps at Dream Machines tried to convince me to have the RLs rather than spiders (and they just happened to have a cerb outside with the RLs on) saying that spiders are much easier to kerb. Me knowing better went away to look for (and find) a car with spiders. Had a couple of kerbings, not too bad. Friday afternoon I made a right mess of the n/s front spider Only upside is that they are stripped and polished so doesnt show 'quite' as bad as painted would.

My car has sports/decatted exhaust, rear afterburners and Austec/Mark Adams remap (and new injectors). My car has the original headlights as, IMO, light coloured cars look better with the standard lights and darker ones look better with the conversion.
