   I wanna tidy up the handling of the VTS but dont want to YET get the full on suspension.
   
   Whats my other options, ive been told a few things are good such as:
   
   -Strut brace (can you get upper and lower for front and back?)
   
   -Roll cage (was told a propa fixed in cage will stiffen up the whole car and help with handling)
   
   -Any other suggestions....

   are you keeping it now gaz? I would say a strut brace will be ok as mine has helped a little.

   strut brace upper and lower on the front will do nicely, cant be done on rear, proper cage will do nice to

   Yeah definitely engine mods...gonna keep it simple and cheap(ish) for the time being - so im welcome to any suggestions??
   
   Been in touch with Carworx recently and they say its possible for a 300bhp+ VTS
   
   Something for me to think about but not gonna be cheap so we'll see in maybe a year or 2.
   
   Basically my plan is speed, not looks this time.

   not overly expensive, throw a huge turbo on boost it up and 300bhp easily done.
   
   Though doing it so the car last longer than 30 secs would start to ramp the costs up

   LOL @ scott.
   
   Do it gaz.
   
   For starters I'd get a full system, with de-cat, manifold, cams,enclosed air filter and remap, that'll see a nice steady increase.

    Yeah i never really looked too much into performence mods so got a few ideas going around....turbos, throttle bodies (any info appreciated).
    
    300bhp aint that cheap...lot of stuff involved n getting it right so would probably have to ring/visit them to get a good idea of whats needed and the costs...ive just got a guide at the moment, but you know me, dont do things by halfs!!
