Spend the money uprating suspension and brakes, getting a faster car isnt often about BHP....

Getting a good car set up will be a much better option. :w00t:

Ive got a stage1 998 with modified cylinder head and enlarged SU carb and new jet as well as electronic ignition - and that runs really well and goes quickly too (but more importantly fun to drive, and very controllable).

Wise words from overboost there.... suspension and Brakes that are well set up will allow you to control the car more,... and it will handle much better... and brake better.... meaning, you can keep your foot down fo longer on the gas!

I Use KYB Non Adjustable Gas Shocks. I Personally Think They're Really Good For Track Days!
