I own a VTR 02 and its completetly factory I have £533 and have gone for these mods havent payed yet but I just want peoples opinion what do you reckon...
KAM racing
Supersprint exhaust system with mid silencer £252.63
Raceland Enclosed Induction kit + green filter £76.38
Apex sports suspension kit upto 50mm lowering £195.00 = £524.01

what do you think for first mods im looking for power and just want to get a good look aswell do u think i should scrap the suspension for manifold and just get power or... any ideas would be helpful :y:

would that give me better power gain and how much would that cost under 500?

Induction wont do a great deal.
the suspension quality will be alot more obvious to you as a driver.

Bigger brakes first imo.

Brakes are also a very necessary upgrade...

are the factory brakes not that good then and how much are brakes? do i need to buy brake discs or like a whole setup?

Factory brakes are pretty useless mate. Pick up calipers, discs and pads for about £130-150...

Scrappy mate,

306 GTi6 / 206GTi brakes are usually a popular choice.

scrappy's

pm zaine on here and get a set of 266 calipers, then get some standard brembo discs from gsf carparts, and some mintex m1144 or ferodo ds 2500 pads from motorsport world

thats an idea but the list is wrong cos you need to add in the £8 delivery charge from Kam
sorry for bursting your bubble

Drop the induction kit (wont make a noticable difference, just sound).

Save up a hundred pound, with the money you saved from not buying the inductionkit plus your hundred quid buy some good brakes :y:

Brakes and suspension will be the best things.
