500 quid budget for mods.... suggestions welcome

[mat411]

If you had a budget of 500 quid, what would you do to a stock 02 172? I have an idea, but Id love to have suggestions.

Matt:rasp:

 

[Eddd]

A bit of track time maybe.

 

[DrR]

I'd take it on a track day.

 

[Fletcher]

Buy a itg maxogen, cup splitter and with the change a set of clear indicator bulbs.

 

[HartZ]

coilovers

 

[Chrisjk]

Lowered and a splitter (£200 max) then treat yourself to a holiday

 

[Fletcher]

coilovers

Can you get a decent set for under £500 then?

 

[mat411]

cool, that was real quick...... track days will be happening, but im looking for performance and handling mods. Where can i get a maxogen induction kit?

 

[mat411]

what coilovers would you recommend?

 

[nth]

h&r

 

[Fletcher]

You can itg maxogen kits from Ktec-racing.

I'd recommends some H&R coilovers, also available form Ktec

 

[mat411]

Nice one cheers guys, would i need to replac the shocks too Im not looking to put it in the weeds I just want it to be a little sharper though the bends.

 

[Coby.]

I'd do Brakes, Brembo HC and Ferodo DS2500 Pads (I think thats right) Eibach Sportline Springs, Decat and maybe an ITG panel Filter

That must be to around a £500

 

[24Seven]

Maxogen and a rstuner remap plus some change for a decat i think

 

[john182rs]

Silver visions all round. £30 from the chap on cs
side indicators. a fiver if you want the silver thingies
lower it on eibachs £130 i think.
tints £130 if you like tints.
buy a 2nd hand viper if u want £85 (me)

Should be left with about 120ish maybe a change of colour in the wheels

 

[mat411]

Hi John, probably a stupid question. whats a viper?

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^Viper= Induction kit.

 

[john182rs]

yea my pardon, a pipercross viper induction

 

[Ja5on]

lowering springs and uprated pads

 

[Cupster]

lol plus 3

Wait til someone is returning their pride and joy back to standard and is selling parts on cheap ! Guaranteed to be cheaper then brand spanking and hopefully just as good.
But i would get decat,inlets decent zorst and possibly a remap if funds allowed. Get it all done in one hit and haggle like buggery for a discount.

Or spend it on some new cams !

Best improvement per £

 

[sideways danny]

lowering springs and uprated pads

ai, good springs, good panel filter and some good pads and new disks would see my money

 

[Mark One]

certinally lower it. Then go for either a 182 manifold (like im doing) or a maxogen (they are just so expensive though)

edit: sorry, forgot to say. MUST be Eibach sportlines. Quality stuff and prolines are not low enough

 

[172.com]

Put it towards a better car.

 

[mat411]

Cupster, that looks awesome..... did you use stock shocks with that set up? how was the ride after? are the springs uprated as well as lowered? do you lose much on the ride?

 

[Martin_172]

Brembo MAX disks, DS2500 pads, braided hoses and fluid change, Eibach Sportlines.

 

[Cupster]

Yeah stock shocks, little bit bumpier due to lower springs. Just as rattley though as the standard cup springs were not the most comfy in the world lol

Sorry to the guys that could not see anything, I posted then went on the hunt to find the old thread lol.

 

[mat411]

Wow that looks awesome, along the lines of what i want to do. stealthy performance and handling. Very nice.

 

[Lagerlout]

Decat. Remap. Eibachs. And some decent brake pads/fluid change.

 

[Tim]

inlets , rstunning remap , done

 

[A13EX F Trophy No70]

not a lot of money to play with so go for the simple things first:

exhaust air filter and a remap,

next stage would be some decent springs and uprated pads

could probably get most of that second hand for about £500

 

[Neil G]

Tyres and/or brakes

Wouldn't f**k about with the suspension...stock fine for road
