Question £1000 burning a hole in my pocket!

After failing to sell the car ( Admittedly not tried very hard ) I'm going to throw some more of my hard earned cash at her. What do I go for?? I have a UK MY99 only mods I've done is full de-cat and cotton green panel filter. Last RR figures produced 239bhp before the de-cat. What can I realistically look at doing with about £1000 to spend?? Thanks in advance...

£105+VAT for a full four wheel alignment, plus a further £650 + VAT for a bespoke ECUTEK remap. Speak to the guys at TSL, you won't be disappointed!!

best mod id say is an avcr and an apexci ecu then a trip to see andyf plus when you decide to add more bits onto the car is a drive to andy's and a reasonsonable remap fee

If you more engine power, yeah, speak to Andy F.
But having had loads of engine mods to my car before handling, if I am to do it all again, I would be inclined to get the handling sorted out first. Stiffen up the rear with whiteline 22mm adjustable anti roll bar, solid drop links. Get anti lift kit, bump steer mods, and if you find a bargain, get a decent set of coilovers or shocks - Tein HA, Cusco Type Zero, or HKS Hypermax are all good, as well as Buddy Club or KYB shocks.

If you don't know how to, get it all setup by a pro, as an incorrectly setup suspension does more harm than good.

I've heard alot of good things about whiteline anti roll products and will be definately looking at the handling side of things as well. The car does have Eibach's already fitted so anti roll bar/drop-links etc will be a must. Looks like going over a grand as I want the re-map as well.....Oh well I'm sure I won't be dissapointed!

Thanks again guys

Steve.
