A grand wouldn't get what I wanted so it would be a compromise. ATB or coilovers, both would be pushing it a tad. I'd probably say rollcage for a 1 off spend.

hmm not sure what i would do with a grand.. got quite a few bits on mine already

if it were mine i would use it to fix the HGF, reduce the exhaust manifold pressure and then put the rest in the bank for when the next part breaks

ATB would be my first mod if i started from scratch again tho

Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
Going off my previous zed I'd probably go for coilovers and calibrating the car.

if i had a grand to spend on the zed i would get the stone chips fixed on the bonnet and bumper, the "supermarket carpark" dings in the doors fixed, and sort out the slightly rattly pre-cat! That should wipe out a grand i think!!!
