Right.
Had my 200 cup since March 2011.
Its been modded extensively apart from engine, so here is my honest appraisal.
8x17 Oz ultraleggaras.£960.
Look awesome, the weight saving helps & also allows easy fitment of the pf brake upgrade.
Worth the expense/purchase again? Yes/yes.
Quaife atb differential.£1800 inc parts & fit.
Great on track, ok for the road.
Worth the expense/purchase again? No/no. I do lotsa track so i love it.
Kw clubsports.£2100 inc fit.
Great on road n track if tinkered with. Which is easy.
Worth the expense/purchase again? No/no. Not worth it unless you are a driving ace. Helps for sure in making you better but i would stick to the std cup stuff or at a push fit Kw 1s. (Which i did originally have).
Akraprovic exhaust evo system.£1100 inc fit.
7kgs weight saving & sounds fab.
Worth the expense/purchase again? No/possibly. Its probably 2-300 notes overpriced. But i love it.
Performance friction 330mm brake upgrade inc hel lines & uprated fluid & ds2500 pads all round.£1000 inc fit.
Amazing braking performance. You can out brake almost everything if u got the nads!
Worth the expense/purchase again? Yes/yes. Only if you do trackdays though. Ive tried all the set ups possible inc std size 2 piece etc. The pf kit is immense and is probably my fave
mod.
Remap & itg panel.£350
Get it done!
Worth the expense/purchase again? Yes/yes. Makes the car how it should be.
So there you go. Ive spent a shedload and could have purchased a track car etc instead. But its not the point as my 200 is a keeper. And will eventually be ripped apart n lightened etc.
This little article is designed to save you guys the cash after someone else has done it. No regrets but until you do it ya just dont know!
Feel free to ask qs...
Update..
So if i was to do it again, what would i get?
Oz ultraleggaras.
Adjustable topmounts from simoxino.
Akraprovic exhaust.
Pf 330mm brake upgrade & lines, uprated fluid & pads.
Remap
Total. £3500 saving nearly 4k.
Spend some of that saved on better tyres.
Ad08s, r1r's or 595 rsr's.
A few trackdays and most importantly instruction.
Still leaves enough for a great holiday or 2!
