So after deciding to keep me car am now looking to start getting parts in and maybe to upgrade and go turbo in time after getting other bits sorted first.
I need some advise on kits and parts to get so am calling on Sax P to give a hand. I have a rough idea on parts what want to upgrade just the question of performance, makes if ones better than the other or their just a name that hikes the price up.
Brakes
I have front/back standard brake disk, pads.
Recommendations for a good after-market set.
I have been looking at WEST COAST FURIO LOWER WISHBONE ARMS BRAKE DISC & PADS set. Are they worth the money £125 or can get any better for around same price or maybe around £200 area.

Callipers
Are their any difference in braking from standard to after market.
Braided line feeds
Worth it or not any improvements on braking compared with standard rubber. Anyone got Braided lines and can tell the difference in braking?
Front/Read shocks and springs/coilover kit
What would be best set-up for daily urban use and some track day use?
Bush Kit
Any recommendations on what ones to go for are all pretty much the same or some small improvement??
Radiator
So looking to scrap old one and go for something upgraded that gives better water flow and keeps cooler under driving. Any recommendations as not finding many places doing after market even went on kamracing didn't find me any their.
Fuel Pump/filter
Looking for something better than standard. Any recommendations?
Oil Pump/filter
Any advise on good after market?
Induction Kits
After seeing on mine I have an enclosed kit on that's got K7N filter on it. Thinking to change to a CDA. Any gains besides more grunt. Also is their much or any difference between enclosed and open ones any improvement or gain from having open to closed?
Oil cooler kit
Worth the money or waste of time until going turbo mode?
Manifold
Looking for mainly mid range performance I know wont get that much and maybe some top end performance to. A reduction in RPM would be nice when hitting 3rd and 4th maybe 5th for them longer adventures.
Go faster stripes
Looking for some that will give me 100BPH
Performance cat or decat
So the question comes when decatting will it still pass MOT or can you get a Performance cat that will work like decat and bypass section to the same sort of BHP performance you get from decat? or much simpler just go grab performance cat?
Cam Kit
What are the complications with upgrading cams and is it really worth the upgrade spent on a kit.
Once all that's done not sure and more parts that I cant think of at the min then maybe a turbo depending on cost and insurance increases. So far looked at the rest and seems can go grab me all the parts to upgrade no turbo for me just yet. Think its going to be a few more years until then.
