You can get battery, ecu covers (chrome or carbon), new badge on rocker, new oil cap etc.
Interior - Buckets, Leathers or Recliners
New gear gaitors (handbrake + gearstick)
New gear knob
New door cards
Carpet
Theres alsorts you can do mate - you could even uprate the brakes and sunstrip

Hmm good ideas brakes as in 4 pots with groved and vented disks? Wouldn't be a bad way to blow £500  . Tbh tho I wouldn't mind 40mm tb on mine
Also a fly wheel would gain revs nicely couldn't also fully service car then ie cambelt multi layed head etc etc but I wouldn't do mods on a vtr engine waste of money tbh
prehaps just a few more like a catch tank and glossblacking all plastic bits

vtec is an internal engine function!!!
You can't just fit it to an engine !!
You need to bolt the catch surround to the bonnet !!! Then it'll be fine !!! 16v would be a god way to go, is better to do than spend money on exhausts/induction kits - 16v gives you guaranteed power as opposed to just a lot of noise but not really getting anywhere

Just means they can run a wild cam for power higher in the revs, and have a less wild section of cam for a nice idle etc.
The reving to 9k is to do with the valvetrain components - you could rev to 9k on a 16v vts engine, but would need a lot spending on the engine so it was safe reving this high.
Remember though that parts will wear quicker at the higher rpms.

haha yes a pictuer to show you
all i really like about vtec is that when a standard 6k limiter car hits its end the vtec gains most of its power then

yeah i got the bit bout the power and cruze cam lol. i could do but the valves dancing on the bonnet seems a nice idea lol. naa if i did get a 16v engine id slowley mod it up. is yours still only running at 7.5k or you moved it??
