    What shall I do next?

    Hi,
    Doing a few choice mods to the Valver to give it alittle extra power. Dont wanna go to overboard, or more to the point I cant as im saving like a bitch at present.


    So far its got or soon to have done:

    Magnex System + de-cat pipe.

    Williams Manifold - sanded down, rust proofed, heat wrapped and sprayed over with Hi-heat coating.

    Avo 25mm Lowering springs and rear torsion bar down slightly.

    "Superchipped" ECU.

    ITG Panel filter.



    Trying to keep it super original on the in/outside, and may purchase another set of turbines to get polished up. When I have somewhere I can work on my car!

    Was thinking that, but as I wouldnt be able to fit them myself the costs would be sky high! Plus then surely i would need another ECU, or to at least have my current chip remapped if possile to get the full potential out of them. Its a Superchips chip.

    you will need a re map to get the most out of cams.

    Why not go for a lightened and balanced fly wheel if you dont wanna spend loads on cams.

    I think mine was 80 odd quid iirc.

    not sure what the gains are, but felt a difference. I think a few people have them on here, do a search.

    Getting mine lightened at the mo and the complete assembly dynamically balanced. Cost £30 to lighten flywheel plus cost of balancing

    lightened flywheel will make the engine rev up quicker but you get less engine braking..
