help/advice needed
Hi guys im hoping for some usefull ideas of stuff i can do to my mk2 zs180
its already got sports cat, centre section & duplex exhaust, huge itg maxogen, tinted windows and some subtle graphics. also got a second set of alloys im spraying green for track days/shows (undecided yet)
Thinking de-cat, straight through centre section. not got huge money to play with at the mo, little by little will be the way. thinking of painting engine cover and possibly getting a 3rd set of alloys and doing them gold. not sure lol
Im after constructive feedback, subtle mods not in yer face ones lol
Ideas welcome

Think I've read that a lightened flywheel is one of the best mods, OK if you need a new clutch, but a bit pricey.

What are you after? Performance, handling, ICE and/or looks?
Lighweight flywheel is cheaper than an OE clutch.

Mite go down the flywheel route, got a type b torsion diff to go in, clutch needs changing anyhow,
After a real nice motor that turns heads. I'm happy with it the way it is but I'm always after more lol

I could go down the route of coilovers, cams etc but too much money at the minute. Got a 220 engine sat in my garage that I'm wanting rid of, was going to do conversion but lost interest, and I'd miss the v6, such a sweet sound lol

Coilovers and cams are only good if you intend to track it often. Cams are expensive, verniers unobtainable and you only feel their worth when up high in the rev range. Coilovers for an everyday car is only good if you want a lower than lowering spring look. They really need adjustable arms/links as well to bring the geometry back to avoid premature wear on your tyres.
