Nissan 350Z
Exhaust - £235 + £50 fitting.
Pads + Lines - £100 inc fitting
So about £385.
Worth it? Not sure. The upgraded brake lines have given the best difference so far.
I dont intend to spend much money modding though. I think i would rather save up for a different car than modding a car which frankly is pretty good out of the box anyway.

Turinis and tyres £500
Maxogen - £280
Pro Speed - £275
HillPower Inlet manifold - £180
Grp N ECU - £250
Uprated Fuel Pressure regulator - £60
Tar-Ox pads - Can't remember
Cup Spoiler - £160
Cup Splitters - 2 x £45 = 90 (and I need another one now Badgers 2 - laingo 0!!)
Think that's about it! So nearly £1800. Couple that to the fact that I bought it for £12,000 new out of my own back pocket and it's worth about £6500-£7000 now.
So the car has actually cost me £7,300 over three years.
OUCH!!

I've declared all mine, even the bits that aren't on yet. So all is good.
£20 on custom re-working of air induction based on std airbox with kn panel filter. so £70 in total physically.
£17.99 zx1 lube in engine, Millers Diesel Power Plus @ £6.99 a bottle. Coolant additive £10, soon to be zx1 high dose in gearbox, less friction, and less engine power wasted through transmission due to heat. that and zx1 in fuel all time now, and £295 on custom ecu tune soon.
So on the initial phase (after 2nd November) £375.00 + £17.99 a bottle of ZX1 (in fuel)& £6.99 per bottle of Millers DPP.
I only run on Shell Diesel Extra.
The results of doing all this are tremendous.
