   What are a few mods that can be carried out to get a bit of extra power out of the engine?
   
   Ive been looking at higher lift cams, a bmc induction kit and a remap. but the question is where to go after that?

   over inflating your front tyres will lead you to spin up your wheels easier, making you feel like you have moar powerz!

   problem is most people come on and think what can i do to the engine and overlook things like a decent brake setup, suspension setup etc.... And there more important.
   
   If your ride handles like a bus, and slows like a bus...engine performance is pointless and you wasted your money

    No point going fast if you can't maintain the speed in corners ect... fuck brakes they only slow you down

    Fit a better box, 1.4xsi or 1.3 rallye for me. After that you've got to spend some serious money
    
    Edit: Mabie change out the vtr brakes for some nice big ones

    Strip everything out from the insides. Less weight means faster acceleration, better cornering and faster stopping, and it's free!!

    ]Bastard to drive to work on a cold December morning no?
    
    Yeah it is a complete bastard to drive first thing on a freezing december morning, but on the other hand it is a completely free modification where I know by experience makes a bit of difference.
    
    But yeah I also know how crap it is when you jump in it at 6am when it's -5 outside
