What would you do ?

[Artistic_Pen]

hey all, i'm thinking about buying a GTiR and putting around 2-2.5k pounds into it, what would you do to increase the performance ?
I know very, very little about cars but the GTiR's have caught my eye, so any help and opinions on what you would put into it (list the parts if ) yeah anyways, thanks moved to tuning-skiddusmarkus

Brakes,clutch,suspension,1bar boost with a fuel computer,free flowing exhasut and air filter.If you buy new that's your budget blown.

Brakes, boost controller set to 1 bar, then a new clutch. If you need all the work done by a mechanic/garage your money may all be gone by then, If you have soom left over get an apexi fuel controller.

Where u from anyway :?:

Are the original clutches that bad? You change them even BEFORE they go???

 

[chrisniss91]

standard boost mine lasted for ever, but when you up the boost and start doing drag runs you may need to change it :lol:
Depends how you drive it

 

[skiddusmarkus]

A couple of weeks on 1bar and mine was slipping on hills.Best to at least have some money put aside for it.

 

[KRS]

Im new to the R but....

I would wait till the clucth goes and then change it.

Use the money in the breaking and handling department. With a good Fuel/boost controller.

That way, when you have money for even more mods, You will still have a car in one piece

Just go easy on the clutch :roll:

EDIT: Just read what skiddusmarkus wrote, best keep some cash aside then

 

[Artistic_Pen]

i am a little flexable on the cash, meaning i could go to 3/3.5k

 

[skiddusmarkus]

Then add fmic 1.2-1.4 bar and power fc onto list 8) .

Say you are going to spend 4-grand on a car then 3-3.5k on it, why not spend 7.5k on a modified gtir, this will have some very good spec and you will save a fortune, plus no dirty hands
