Next MOD to get ?!

[cupramillo]

Right, so i have done the KO3s conversion and am well happy with how it drives now.... what do you guys think i should do to it next?

Options are -

1) New clutch, either vr6/G60 combo or a SPEC one £300ish
2) Coilovers - Going to go for AP's, they are about £350-£380
3) New brake setup, cant afford the Brembo 4pot kit so was thinking Badger 5's eliptically grooved brembo discs and ferodo ds2500 pads, tried and tested setup that works well - £300ish again

I know i should have probably done these mods BEFORE i went for the turbo change, but hey... i went abit power crazy

Any feedback most appreciated!

Brakes would be the sensible, but otherwise coilovers!

 

[lm_gauci]

I agree with Riko, the brakes would be the sensible option but saying that surely the coilovers will make the car safer with it being lower, the car is lower to the ground making it slow down faster
Leave the clutch and flywheel untill it needs doing, i picked up a g60 flywheel just incase my clutch goes.

 

[cupramillo]

Yeh know what your saying mate. With brakes you get the added saftey option, where as with coilovers you get saftey (better cornering ability) and better looks! God, decisions decisions!

Clutch wise, mine feels abit gravely, if you know what i mean, and i get a strange over-reving that happens every now and then, so may be clutch related. Where did you end up getting your clutch and fly wheel from in th end?

Why not get the brakes and coilovers on an interest free credit card. Pay it off gradually during six months and there you go. Sod it, whilst your there get the clutch aswell, lol.

 

[cupramillo]

lol...credit cards... dont get me started! Almost finished paying off my forge fmic....so when thats out the way i may get the clutch done aswell! Going to Japan in march so have to save up for that really....but what the hell...you only live once!

Thats the spirit....

Thats the spirit....

You really are the devil on his shoulders aint ya!!

 

[lm_gauci]

Well im too tight to spend my money so i'm going to make evryone else spend theirs, lol.

 

[cupramillo]

haha, you corrupter!

 

[lm_gauci]

If it was me then...... I'd get the brakes and save for the rest.

 

[cupramillo]

Saftey first kids ! Yeh think i may go down this route, my current disks have a nice lip on them so ready for a change really, pads have about 4-5months of sensible driving left in them, its a toss up between brakes and coillies really.

 

[Riko]

To be fair the brakes could save your life at the end of the day, coilovers although would make handling safer aren't going to do an awful lot more... There feel like the angel on his shoulders now. Karma.

 

[PhilW]

Deck it.

 

[cupramillo]

Grrrrrrr you guys are no help!! lol....its def between brakes and coilovers, but saying that, a good clutch set up will let the car rev faster so in theory be quicker off the lights and 1/4 mile times! Going to let the all ruling poll decide !

 

[Ibiza125]

Coilovers without a doubt!

 

[mr_D]

slam the bitch. stuff the brakes for now

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Coilovers
Get a clutch when it needs it, get brakes when yours need changing!

 

[cupramillo]

Looking like coillies at the moment so far.....

Coilys for sure bud
