Got a little bit of cash available to spend on the car, any suggestions?

I have around £300 to spend on the car at the moment so wondered before just buying some pretty stuff if there is anything that I could get to help improve performance and/or improving the life of a BPU engine. My mind is blank on anything for that sort of money.

 

My set up is currently:

 

J-Spec NA-TT auto,

BPU - Boosting to aprox 1.2 bar,

Front mount,

Boost controller,

UK brakes,

Tien lowering springs,

Diffuser,

I also have boost, oil temp and AFR gauges.

 

The only things that I can think in the kind of area I'm thinking of and within my budget are maybe an oil cooler and oil pressure gauge.

 

What are your thoughts?

 

Thanks:)

those Blitz Jamie, what model are they??

 

This is what they look like now, will be looking brand new when i get them back, these really are a very light wheel, i can powdercoat any color you want.

I got a nice TRD strut brace at the powder coaters, being re done in black, will be £150 and look like new, back in a week id say.

 

I also got some 18" blitz split rim being powdercoated black next week, super light wheels but im not sure the will clear uk brakes.

 

I have a decant Cusco brace, if not I'd be tempted mate.

 

As fior wheels, I've had 4 sets in 3 years and dont dare start thinking of more:D

 

EGT gauge would be my choice

 

Yes, that will be on the list:)

 

Or a full detail from Stonkin ;), the difference is amazing when you have this done

 

I had thought of this and will be an option if nothing performance wise comes up. It's a long drive but my paintwork needs a breath of fresh air.

 

Fuel pump

New Fuel Filter

 

:yeahthat: if not been done for a while I'd get the geometry checked/aligned plus given a service.

 

A geo set up and service has been done in the last couple of weeks:)

 

Chrome TRD strut, polsihed brake servo, master and cams...the list is endless, though your budget may not be Hoffmeister :p

 

Raymondo, you are certainly on my mind if I cant improve on BPU for the budget:)
