    Need to tinker

    I am getting to the stage where I need to tinker with the car other wise I am gonna get bored.

    It's a black ph2 it has had most of your run of the mill mods done ie t25, fmic and all the norm bits, lowered, wheels etc

    I was curious and after a bit of inspiration so what I am asking really is .... 'if it were yours what would you do next?'

    Thanks for any ideas that get my mind ticking.

    I wouldn't do anything to your motor, it's too good to start going for the more major mods.

    I'd get a second GTT or campus-type R5 and mess about with it as a project.

    If you really want to mod the black one, maybe EFI.

    Are you still after what you were looking at on Instagram?

    I dunno if I am modifying for the sake of it and if I am like everyone has said I probably need to find something else.

    I don't think another 5 would be it as I would never get round to using a track theme one. I would love to save a standard red one all oe but not got the funds to go that mad.

    Hmmmmmmm what to do


    Thanks again for the comments

    If you really want to mess with it, cut up the rear arches and go full coilover, wish bones and roll bar rear set up. That should keep ya busy.
