New bloke needs advice etc!

[Kilf]

Afternoon all,

I'm a new member to the site as I only purchased my 172 about 3 weeks ago (enjoying it greatly by the way!). Originally I had no intention of messing about with it but, as is so often the way, I started reading this website and became mildly aroused at the thought of making it faster!

Anyway, the reason I post is to ask advice on the best beginners route to take. I have heard that having the ECU remapped is a good start and improves the low end pick up quite a bit, which would be my first priority. What do you reckon?

RSport Ecu
Exhaust from Cat-back
Panel Filter
Coilovers

Not in that order really, but that should give you a sorted ride.

TBH unless you want to start spending a lot of money I would sort suspension and brakes and breathing mods.

Ok thanks for the help, just one question....

Wheres the best place to investigate these things further? I'd like to read up a little before plunging on in....

ECU good but i never like increasing the rev range, good exhaust and pannel filter. upgrade front brakes so you can go faster for longer!!!!!
