Really gives it a more squat, purposeful stance. Have you gone for 20 all round? Edited June 23, 2019 by TT350 Quote

I had 15mm front and 20mm rear. If I could have only one and no other mods on aesthetics, spacers are what I'd choose. The Z is already low enough. I'd actually soften the dampers and get stiffer anti roll bars. I have some great B roads near me and, my Z was far too stiff to give full commitment. Banging and bouncing. Then again, B roads are more revvy hot hatch territory. What other plans do you have? Quote

Yeah that’s a fair point, if the spacers mean the wheels fill the arches better then I’ll probably leave the suspension as is because I use B roads a lot too. In terms of other mods I’m thinking of the usual mods such as breathing mods, I’ve swapped out the panel filters for K&N filters, the car came with a custom back box and tips from the last owner however I’m purchasing some downpipes and will consider getting some short tails. Need to do some research into where to get the car mapped round me in the midlands and what map to get. Apart from that im open to recommendations on what’s best to do to improve performance and aesthetics? Quote

Apart from that im open to recommendations on what’s best to do to improve performance and aesthetics? The best induction mod is a high flow panel filter in the standard air box I'm told. Although a cone filter will sound better. Exhaust, spoiled for choice there. Can take out the cats and have sections made to bolt on in their place. Americans like to do "muffler delete" which is basically just the back boxes eliminated and just having pretty much a straight pipe from manifold back. Either de-cat with muffler delete, or cats in and muffler delete. A set of stainless manifolds will be good, too. I'm not sure if going from 2 1/4 pipe to 3" will help or hinder. Personally, I don't know mind the exhaust being louder on the motorway. It's a small trade for the sound it makes round town with the windows down on a sunny day. If you get all your breathing mods, make sure you get it tuned on the dyno after. Quote

If you get all your breathing mods, make sure you get it tuned on the dyno after. Exactly what I had in mind, I’ve put high flow filters in the standard box. After removing the cat I’ll look into getting some short tails and having essentially a straight through exhaust and then will look into a new manifold. I can put up with the sound on motorways because I’m sure I’ll love the sound through the lanes. Just a case of looking for decent deals on parts people sell on here Quote
Payco Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Personally I would remove the wrap and have her paint corrected and polished unless shes nasty underneath. I am not a fan of wraps. Quote
