Have you had a search mate? There's dozens of threads with exactly the same thing in.

ye iv had a look and got some good idears but not sure on costs and there is so many threads.

If you look in the threads the prices will be mentioned at some point.

You're just being lazy and want everyone to do it all for you. Lol.

The following mods will make you quicker than 9/10 of CS members on track:

Decent side mounted bucket seat & harness.
Carbon Lorraine RC5+ pads. Standard discs or Brembo HCs.
Castrol Response Super Dot 4 brake fluid. Braided lines are up to you. I notice no difference.
Dogbone mount for gearbox.
Kini adjustables & Eibach Sportlines
Whiteline ARB
R888's
Tuition

The last one is the most important, by a long shot.

Is Sir Dave in his Trophy the 1/10 that he won't be faster than? :rasp:

Strip it out properly! by far the best mod for your money!!

aircon,
PAS,
AC,
ABS can all go from the engine bay
cup blower,
windy windows,
tar removal,
sound proofing removal,
loom reduction,
polycarb windows,
inner skin removal

thatll make it go faster in a straight line, as for the corners, see sir daves post! lol

I have no idea on your driving ability, but my advise would be do not upgrade the car until it is the weakest link, get some track days under your belt while it is standard, feel what is letting you down, then look at upgrading once you know exactly what the car is doing under you in all situations.
