Been looking at sites for the parts this morning!

JR what would you recomend I do first! Im thinking just get an exhaust system and induction kit sorted first then move onto the hard core mods!

From the advice everyone has given me on here these are the mods I intend to do!

Inlet manifold
Cams
Exhaust Manifold
High Flow Cat
Cat Back Exhaust
Unichip
Induction Kit (what is best one for extra BHP? I know your not lookin at a great BHP gain but what would give me the best results?)
Rod Bolts

What order should these mods be done in?

I've only done a few engine mods to mine but it makes a big difference from standard,

dbilas inlet from regal at £470
performance air filter at £40!
full sebring system brought second hand for £100

and thats it.....not sure of the bhp, i'll be getting it tested soon though.

Ok............Ive been looking around and I have come up with this! I'm going to do all the mods in 4 stages! Let me know if I need to change anything guys!

Stage 1

Exhaust Manifold
Cat back Exhaust System
High Flow Sports Cat

Stage 2

Induction Kit
HT Leads
Spark Plugs

(This is the cheaper of the stages, I know BHP won't be gained by Leads and spark plug buy hey!)

Stage 3

Inlet Manifold

Stage 4

Cams
ARP Rods
Unichip

Let me know what you think!

Cheers

the unichip is the only thing you cant do urself ARP's will only require taking the sump off and putting the new bolts in (someone correct me if im wrong), and cams are just a case of taking off and puting the new ones in the right place
