Would be interesting to hear thoughts on the next steps... looking at 2019 and beyond, but on a budget.
Got to get the car through an MOT, which may dictate things, but current thinking is:
1. Get the suspension sorted. Springs and shocks look tired. Yellowspeed or BC racing coilovers. Hopefully may find some decent second hand ones. £500+
2. I'll get some proper sticky front tyres for the speed events. £250.
3. Buy everything for a power increase, somewhere approaching 230bhp and a lower vtec would be great. Need manifolds (PRC inlet and japspeed - all on a budget), sports cat (japspeed), K pro 100, and then a map. £1000.
4. Looking towards the more distant future, I think I would really benefit from a proper seat and belts, but that would also require a rear cage. £1000.
Any views on this approach?
Tbh, if the worst happens, I could always break the car and regain most of the costs. Especially if I can find decent second hand bits in the first place.
