Im stuck as to what to do my B Gsi. Im considering stripped out rally slag, cage buckets the lot, or full on ICE install.
At the mo its Lowered 60mm on full kit with 16's and v6 brakes and mongoose exhaust-dont wanna go crazy body kit way-too OTT for me.
Opinions please

no i mean i been out in one at work!!!! id never buy one of them-silly money for little car!!!
and as for cornering mine is pretty much spot on until its wet. i aint really bopthered about performance or mega mint amazin handling-just want summat nice n subtle like rollcages n buckets n nice tidy rear with strut brace-or ICE in rear.

Strip EVERYTHING out of it apart from the bare essentials. Fit a roll cage, some cheap buckets, Koni's with some 15's and street legal slicks.
Fit a few performance mods and then you'd have a superb (dry) handling car that would beat quite a lot of very powerful cars on a track.
Oh, and have your camber's adjusted by -0.5 degree's
Then ICE up your C and use that to cruise in.

leave it looking standard, dont strip it out and fit a manztel powerbox/velos torque tube. and possibly a stainless exhaust manifold. I wouldnt bother with cams etc and dont fill it full of ice.

Keep it as it is and stick a bigger engine in. sort the handling out, decent 16" wheels, coilovers, strut braces and away you go.
