Pretty much any mods these days increase it alot. Some more than others. Tints for me to declare is £200 a year.

DO NOT use 6x9's there shit and sound fookin awful.
a good way would be to buy a decent set of jbl components for the front and have them wired to an amp

[luke_vtr_gy]

depends what 6 x9s you get ,, every iv got in my car apart from the front tweeters iv vibe ,, iv got 2 sets of 6x9s in the back get beat the mid rang from then ... why you put them in the back ,,

[danny-vts]

all 6x9's belong in the same place....the bin

amped front comps and sub with amp in boot, thats all ya need :)

[luke_vtr_gy]

you herd the vibe 6 x 9 black death ,,, iv binned my sub for them ,,

[danny-vts]

your crazy :)

Shorter bee-sting aerial,smoked jewels smoke the front lights.

Steve.

[luke_vtr_gy]

yer smoked lights look bad boy

[VinceVTS]

full wide bad boy demon arch and bumper's body kit, wideboy spoiler made by a company called bookshelf.

Lexus lights are a MUST!!!

also the cheapest angel ligghts you can find are by far the best (weird i know but they just are)

6*9's in your front doors, 6*9's in the back side panels, 6*9's in teh boot, 4 12" fli subs, fli are a very very good audio make. (infact get all your audio either fli or edge)

dont touch the engine bay it dont need doing.

Black or white racing stripes down the middle of your car (adds about 25-30 bhp i think) correct me if im wrong danny and rud pud i think its 25-30 or it maybe 20-25 those guys know anway.

fast and furios style decals and graphics down the side. also every make of any performance part/audio equipment needs to be down the side of your arche's

and finnaly 12 in back box. but not 1, Your need 3!!!!

You will be the envy of everyone on the council estates, and you will get all the school girls my friend

Hope that helps, :y::y::y:

Thats the way i want to roll, but i aint cooooool enuf cus i dont own any burbery :(

[luke_vtr_gy]

dont worry brother ,, a gold chain il do :hug:

[VinceVTS]

hmmm might have to do a bit of handbag snatching and get myself a gold chain then, afterall i do want all of the school girls

[danny-vts]

racing stripes gain 30 bhp iirc. could be wrong tho.

led washer jets have 5bhp each, so could very easily gain an extra 15 with them fitted

[luke_vtr_gy]

ha ha ,,, yer bout all the pull when your a fat bloke whos going bald ,, n drive a saxo with a roll cage like me ,,, women dnt really like that for some reason lmfao :panic:

[danny-vts]

u dont look fat and bald in your pic lol

[Mark_W]

I've heard you need to get the colour right on the stripes, cant go putting willy nilly colours on it or you wouldnt be getting the full 25-30bhp more out of them :/

[VinceVTS]

yeah your right about the colour for the stripes i do have the full statistics of all the colours to bhp

Black/white=25-30
red/blue=15-20
pink/purple/orange=10-15
beige/mouve/lime= -5bhp

also yes i forgot about the led washer jets, 8bhp each i think youll find bud.

i was gonna racing stripe mine but just couldnt afford the £2.74 for the paint brush and the £7.25 for the can of paint :(

ALSO ONE BIG THING..... UNDERCAR NEONS, there well known for improving your handling if positioned right underneath (they add the extra bit of weight needed to the bottom of the car, sumin about lower center of gravity or sum shit like dat) anyways will be just as good as bilstein if not better

[Mark_W]

Nice one mate, knew there was the list of colours and answers to bhp, just treat myself to a brush ;)

Now just another 3 month before i can get the paint :( Trying to invest for some Red/Blue paint you see :)

[VinceVTS]

yes red/blue or black/white are both really great tbh, the black and white is for more of a drag strip car tbh, where as the red/blue is more for the track car cus the density of the paint is less, so weighs alot less imo, therefor the balancae of the car will improve slightly aswell.

no probs glad i could help, what do you think about getting it stickied, worth contacting simo :D

[SampVTR123]

This has become one of the funny and most unhelpful posts ever :D
