    what next?

    OK,im reasonably,nay,very happy with my cars performance now,goes and stop's well,even turns!Bodyworks almost finished,got a new boot and rear bumper to go on (watch this space) then that'l be the outside done,but i like to tinker and fiddle (ideal car for me i hear you all cry )

    But what can i do next for ;

    A- more power
    B-better handling
    C-better looks

    bearing in mind its only my play car not a daily driver,main use is drag racing and B-road blast although i want to do a few track days this year.

    idea's? tried R888 but scrubbed on all 4 corners,dont realy want to have to raise her up so and cut slick 50 profile tyres are out

    cheers

    I dont know much about the conversion, but i think so yes. Not sure you would get much more power from it, but it would be easier to achieve power increase and you should (in theory) see a better MPG?

    think the main advantages are MPG and reliability etc,performance would be easier and probably safer to up with the added reliability of EFI over carb,but then more performace will see me probably need to change to a larger turbo,

    VNT'S worth the money?
