Altho at the moment its just ideas in my head, its a serious idea. The more help i get on this the better!
As i say im serious about it, what order would you do things? Would it be worth gettin the exhaust, manifold first, then TB's, standalone, cams, pistons and larger head? Would you know a rough price for the TB's, standalone, cams, pistons and head?
If all done at once, the a big jump in power, would it not result in faults with the car? I would of thought it may work out a bit cheaper if i do it all at once with the labour charge.
As ive said, id be willing to put 3k into the engine, would this be possible on that budget?

This is a great thread.
Out of curiosity, can we see your car please Scott?
You've obviously have alot fo knowlage, and are/ were a grease monkey at some point. So does your VTS reflect all this?
I know i've never seen it, and going on your enthusiasm for Saxo's, i bet it's an awsome car.

Scott's saxo has never really been shown on here, i know when he first got it it was, but i was suprised to see it have a kit on and black wheels at FCS. It has potential and i hope you dont let us down!
Im reading more information on the engine mods and thanks to everyone who helped me! im sure i will have alot more questions should i get it all done
