I think most peeps on here who are interested in the 'performance mods' will do the induction and exhaust anyway. The biggest change to my car was fitting that Quaiffe ATB LSD. Without that like I found out on track the ZS will struggle for traction when you are trying to go quick. It makes such a difference I can't describe it. Like most who have fitted it the owners will never look back.

Today I swapped your 11 spokes for some straights.........the instant thing I noticed was that I had Avon ZZ3's fitted whereas the straights had Yokohama Paradas fitted.........loads more grip in the dry and a simple change like that makes my car even more fun to drive!!!

I've had the following changed on my car along my 3+ years of ownership: engine, plenum, clutch, gearbox (plus the diff), full exhaust system, brakes, suspension bushes, 3 different sets of 'sports' tyres, induction system and the list goes on.......Wednesday it gets low mileage dampers and lowering springs......you don't have to rush and get things changed quickly it can all be done one step at a time and I would say that is half the fun.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do dude you are sure to enjoy doing it and you've got plenty of advice and help from peeps on here along the way.
