    ive currently come into abit of cash £1000 but some i have to spend on debts and girlfriend things like that but will have alot left for my sax. i never realy speed in my car but have noticed my car dosent feel as quick as it ust to be. i noticed this the other day when i pulled out at a junction that i couldn't see around to well, as some one had parked elegaly bloking my veiw i pulled out in front of some one who was driving up the road prity quick my only option was to excelarate off, couldn't roll back as a twat was up my arse. anyway what can i have done to it to get some power back into my babey? so if a situation like the above arises im confident my car will be like sh*t of a shuvel. its just a standard vtr engien at the mo done almost 90,000 miles. with this sort of money what would you do? thanx guys

    first off a nice full service.

    Then usual stuff like manifold, exhaust and enclosed induction if you aint done so already

    Pretty much what Gav says above.

    Get a full service done, oil/filter/plugs/box oil/coolant flush/fuel filter. May be worth doing the belt as well depending when it was last done

    With the spare cash get yourself a decent panel filter, a 4-2-1 and a decent exhaust.

    god knows mate anywere from 5-15bhp depends on if the rolling road is special or not. Looking more into low down and mid range improvements which from that lot you will get a fair bit

    Well if your going to seriously consider getting a VTS lump, why bother with getting the VTR lump serviced??
