Few quid to spend, thoughts please

[lewisloo]

So I have a about a grand to spend on upgrades and I was thinking the following
1. Bluefin superchip ( I'm 37 and after a little bit better mpg with a little upgrade)
2. Projector headlights
3. Sprint booster
4. Underseat sub ( again I'm 37 so not after a driving boom box)
thoughts please on anything else or comments on my choices?
thanks

Bluefin more likely to lose you power. Better off with a map from Rs tuning or tdf. Even then it won't do a whole lot.

2 and 3 are worth it though.

Put it towards a better car

1 and 4 I'd personally say nope to.

How would the blufin loose you power?

The Rstuner plug in ones seem to work well also, they're all the same.

TDF? Do they even still exist

I'd go for 3 track days myself

They mostly deal with motorsport and look after a number of F1 cars for wealthy trackdayers

I'd say RR and map. The difference in performance in some of these cars is ridiculous depending how they were run in.....some cars are only making 160 -170bhp

I'd probably go

Remap (£300)
Second hand performance exhaust (250ish)
induction kit (200ish)
Sprint booster(80-100)
Projectors (250)

I think you should get all that for about a grand.

Someone on here fitted one, littleste? lost about 20-30hp. Maps can vary from ok to dangerous.

Yes, they use RS's base maps afaik and send data back to Paul at RS to tweak maps to suit afaik.

Before I got my scorp exhaust, if I had a grand to spend id have bought an Akra.

2,3,4 sounds decent. Projectors look much nicer, sprint boosters are supposedly a nice addition as is an underseat sub because the OEM speakers are pish and taking some base out of the rattly french door cards is a good idea.

Projectors for me. Completely transform the look of the car in my eyes.

hi mate..i think it also depends on what u already have..if completely standard I would go as follows:
1. good tyres (there are approximately zillion choices) my choice would be vredestein ultrac vorti
2. new-ish exhaust
3. remap
4. proper pads(mintex 1144,ferodo 2500,yellow stuff,red stuff etc..)
5. braided lines
these will transform the whole car..good luck deciding
