hiya everyone i have been mulling over what to do to the car etc etc so i called the guys at abp motorsport for some advise as i have used them in the past alot with my saxos etc... what they said:
induction kit - go for at basic a k&n induction kit or a typhoon kit or his
recommendation a ken 2 kit..he said the typhoon looks the best but the gen 2 performs better he said the viper and carbon kits get such minimal gains it is pointless spending this much on them..the viper he said does not get hardly any improvement from the 2.0 engine??? prima seem to like green induction kits as do bb so which is the better induction kit to get for a good price any links and prices would be great
suspension - i am wanting springs cos i cant afford the full shocks etc etc he suggested pi springs that lower the 25f 15r he wants to charge me 99 for the set but i am worried that the car will look od lower at the front compared to rear what does everyone else think....i ideally want a 40mm drop all the way round and want to know which are the better springs to get etc... are there any adverse problems from lowering this low i.e camber adjustment needed to save on tyres etc etc...front and rear strut braces i wont these to compliment the springs so which are the ones to get and are they easy to fit with my saxo the power steering res had to be moved so i dont wont really to be messing around etc
exhausts - they strongly recommend magnex as the best systems i wont the 6 x 4 oval a) will look to big b) is he true will i get a nice sound but good performance gains with this system...what abut alternatives for the money i used to be a big fan of janspeed systems...what does everyone think i am also wanting the manifold worked on to get to 182 spec who does this and how much....decat i would love one but i dont want the engine managment light coming on which decats prevent this from happening with the lamb sensors etc etc
chip - i want the car chipped and abp can do it fully set up for 277 all in which i think is a good price i should get this done after all the rest is that right
anything else that people would think is a good buy??
cheers everyone for all your help sorry for the long thread
