    Power is relatively expensive. Even just a fast road cam is a relatively cheap mod. I would go with Quick and say your best is to totally strip the car. There is a lot of weight you can shed and its free.

    brakes are a good idea , can i fit the 283's under my vts alloys? or gotta be 266's?

    not got rear seats in but still have all the carpet and trim in place

    only thing putting me off cams are that i could't fit them myself so would have to pay labour and don' they need mapping to the car?

    thing that really puts me off is the road noise tho lol i hate it

    think i'd rather strip it and lay dynamat or summert under some carpet lol but then it defeats the point

    add lightness and wear ear plugs

    Personally I'd concentrate on the suspension and handling

    283's will go under vts rims

    but weigh a lot, and are still only a 1piston system

    266mm offer good gains over standard, without as much weight as 283's

    theyre fine for road and light track use providing you use decent pad's and discs
