I told you already that we don't want it supercharging. We've spent what we wanted and have ended up with the car the wanted.
Even if i went the 454 route or the supercharged route it doesn't stop the fact that we would have still needed to spend £557 on RRP, £2097 on AP's,£460 on Ripper, £700 on the other bits. I don't know how the Performance pack would change in cost if at all but i would have still needed headers and the rest of the exhaust system.
On top of that I'm sure adding a SC would require more mods that we don't have or need as we are.

Don`t you pay them any attention babe.

Stiggy`s a leaf on the wind.............

And Wormus is in denial (Or his Wife can get on herehehe)

I`d say the average aftermarket spend on our fine motors will be upwards of £7000.00
with most spending a huge amount more.

For ex

Blower £6k
Brakes £2.2K
Exhaust £3k

There`s £11k of anyones money and there is soooo many cars with this as a min its practically std hehe

Correct.

You have done the modding in the right order, Gel;paying attention to the essentials first, unlike most, . Tell him to fook off.

The last thing you want on yours is a heat pump.
