So, here's the idea:
I want to mod the beast. Street driveability is number 1 in importance, Power is the next most important item, Cost is the third item..
No Supercharger or Turbo suggestions in this thread please. The engine bay should appear as stock as possible.
Here is my plan
:
All Motor - Stage 1 - Bolton type mods
- Short Shifter (MGW?)
- Headers
- Exhaust
- Race Catalytic Converter
- Air filters (K&N?)
- ECU retune/flash (SCT?)
- Suspension (Moton?)
- A real roll-bar for safety instead of the decorative hoops (Autoform?)
DONE: Better tires than runflats
ALWAYS WORKING ON: improving the driver (Believe it or not, I've even done the Skip Barber course back when they had GTS ACRs
)
More complicated stuff:
- Solid Engine mounts
- Solid Gearbox mounts
- Quaife Diff
- Final Drive gear to suit current and future All-Motor mods
+ Do I need to do anything to the brakes?
+ Am I missing any bolt-on type mods that will improve the car's driveability and/or handling? Any safety measures?
(At a future date, or in parallel have a new engine being prepared)
All Motor - Stage 2 - Engine Internals Etc..
- Stryker Heads?
- Clutch & Flywheel?
- Talk to Ilmor?
- Fully built engine?
Let's hear it!!
