£500 up grade?

[I.C.]

Ok manifold up grade not now sounding worthwhile.

Suggestions for £500 spend, what gains could I expect?

S1 1.8 std

I already have:

Bilstein S2
52 TB
Decat
Hurricane
Sports exhaust
=131bhp

You could look at a 4-2-1 I guess. although would be of limited benefit.

Perhaps an Emerald and a tune? allow you to squeeze a few more bhp out of your existing mods?

Top of my list would be an Eliseparts short-shifter and improved gear linkage.... no real performance gain but improves driving enjoyment immensely.

Next stage would be some head work or a new pair of cams. Check out www.dvapower.co.uk for options. Or perhaps upgrade the brakes?

Emerald and a tune would be more expensive than £500

Get a Janspeed 4-2-1 Manifold have it on my S2 and greatly improved the torque - not sure if the same is avaialble for the S1.

Get the engine breathing as best as possible before you go down the Emerlad route



ariba!
