   My VTR's currently having 16v conversion, being blue printed.. plus 4-2-1 mani, green enclosed, full magnex with de-cat. lightened and balanced etc...
   
   In Jan next year im getting payout for accident i had at work about 4years ago!!.. Will clear my debts etc, and leave me about 2.5k-3k free to spend on the saxo.
   
   What performance mods should i be looking at?.. exterior and interior is sorted.
   
   cheers

   Well as you stated you have your exhaust system and air filter so you now have the proper breathing mods for the engine, so id say first go for Cams with a remap

   £350 for cams
   £500 for head work
   £920 for Dth
   £450 for kms
   £550 for forgies
   
   = £2770

   personally i think ur mad to get 2500 and spend it all on ur saxo
   
   its probably more than the cars worth
   
   don't get me wrong if i had that money i'd certainly spend a good amount doing my car up
   
   but all of it is daft

    'turbo' and 'budget' shouldnt really come together
