on 1k i doubt it the cams and remap are quite expensive if you get induction kit, full exhaust and manifold whcih will decat the car then you may have change for it depending on makes and models of the performance parts

a bit of everything mate, unless you plan on spending loads more.
say about £300 on brakes, then about £400 on the suspension and £300 on performance. or mix and match them. :y:

Yeah id go lower with a good kit and performance exhaust with mani and de cat will be best imo. And if you got change get a good induction kit :D but you prob wont have too much after a good exhaust system as just spent abou £600 on mine but depends what you want i guess :D

with 1k you wont get alot, depending on what you buy, but beings as your very keen on sus lol we will do that first for a full kit from spax or koni you looking around 300 to 400 or around 200 to 250 i thnk for apex full kit from kam racing, then full decat exhaust and manifold will set you back between 500 and 600, so you could have between 100 to 200 maybe if you spend around that, then get a bigger brakes 266mm would be good upgrade and for new disks and pads then the calipers and carriers is around 100ish so you then may have enough for good induction
thats what i would have done first time round if i had 1k to spend
hope this helps

one thing is for sure, forget the vts interior you mention. Any interior should be ripped out and replaced with buckets ftw.

What you wanna do is buy stuff from kam with sax-p discount or second hand from sax-p or on eBay to get it within all your budget
suspension £200
Braces top and bottom £75
266mm Brakes £100 all in
full exhaust £200
Manifold £100
Raceland £50
Cams £150 go for newman so dont need remap etc
Thats roughly £900 some will vary in price lower or higher most things are priced at the average second hand price i see some stuff go for. Personally think its in your bugdget just gotta look around...
Braces are new at that price aswel....

Would agree with Alex for getting the handling/stopping upgraded.
I'm sure manicmotors do coilover kits for £360 and he's local.
Your choice really :p
