The shopping list has just got longer, Mark @ TDI is tempting me with more and more goodies. So the list for August 19th is as follows.

TTE Supercharger
HKS Anti Rol Bars
Eibach 30mm Springs
Greenstuff Pads
EBC Turbo Groove Disks
HKS Hiper Muffler Titanium
Custom Manifold
Stage 1 Boost Upgrade
HKS Superfire Sparkplugs
Custom Induction Kit - Only if they have time:(

Also they should be Dyno-ing the car before and after.

Wow, thats cool. Bet that lot will put a big dent in your wallet!ohmy.gif
Richie
WOW, you will get back a monster!!

The hole in the wallet is a problem but it's probably better in the car at the moment, it could have been worse I could have held Enron and Worldcom shares!!!

I can't wait to get the car back, I am desperate to get on a track and let it rip, alternatively i've got to try and confince the wife that we need a driving holiday to Germany.

You're married and you got away with that lot. :wow: Wow - impressed. :bounce:
simonskippy
I managed to get away with it just - but believe me the thumb print is firmly on top of my head now!!!sad.gif

I also found the cost of mods is much more than you think. After I fitted a CD changer to my old cavalier all I ever got was "Well if you can buy a CD changer then I can buy..."

I think their R&D might be working on that!laugh.gif
simonskippy
That would be one essential upgrade - would I be allowed to add that on the signature? tongue.gif

Sure you can Si. Aslong as wife mk1 does not buy a Lexus or she may implement the Shutdown.exe on Ex mk1!!! biggrin.gif
simonskippy
She knows where she stands when in comes to Lexus - that's my area - she's not insured on it, she is allowed to sit in it now and again and she always has to treat it with respect

:cool:

Woman/GF upgrades are of course essential, and I will look forward to the first test drive laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
