Which t350 upgrades?

[justin220]

Got the car going in for a service this week, and wondered if there are any upgrades worth considering, brakes perhaps? What about the diff mod? Prices? Anything else?

This is obviously if nothing major crops up

What about an alloy radiator? they cost just under 400GBP, work better and look nicer.

Now thats not something I would have thought about!

They really worth the money?

[thainy77]

I don't know if it's worth replacing if there's nothing wrong with your current one at the moment but yes they are a good upgrade. Seem to keep the engine cooler in the summer months.

New shocks are next on my list though.

Radiator might be worth it if yours is leaking. Don't see the point otherwise. My car has coped just fine in 40deg heat with the standard radiator so I'm not convinced of the benefit. If a car is running hot then there may be something else wrong.

Diff won't be cheap but IMO is a great way to 'keep the car standard' and make the engine's power/torque much more usable. The car feels a lot 'keener' after a final drive change (see diff threads - lots of discussions on which is best).

Brakes - only worth doing if yours are ready for changing. Front upgrade makes a difference (IMO) uses same calipers with spacers and bigger discs (this is the Sagaris/Tuscan S setup). Rears are pricey to upgrade and the benefit is dubious unless you're a racer. Again, perhaps you're already happy with the braking performance?

You may consider a heavy duty anchor as a backup for the handbrake.

I think the brakes will need changing soon, how much would the front sagaris set up cost?

Also how pricey are the diff upgrades?

Thanks
