What can I do to a 110

Guys It is now decided that it is going to be a zs I get no matter what

So just wondering as a first car I am going to be keeping this for some years so at the end of it i want it to be the best of the best but truing to think what the logical mods for the 110 would be as I was thinking

Year 1 nothing as insurance

Year 2 exhaust induction cams
Year 3 vvc and custom exaust and induction for it
Year 4 nitros as well ????

Anyone else think of a more logical way or things to do

If going to mod one is there much difference between insuring a 110 and a 120? I'm no expert on the 110 but surely a 120 is a better base to start from? I'm just looking at your age and likely mods for a 110 may push your premiums up more so than a 120.

Well if that's the case what chance have you got modding it if they are keeping their beady eyes on you!

Go for the 110 and carry out sensible mods until such time you can afford a bigger one perhaps.

I'll tell the truth that I am a bit sentimental about things and so many times my family members say that there best car is there first and I spent so much time deciding on a good safe reliable nice looking car so my plans is to keep it and get it as good is possible and later buy a 180 as well as a investment I know it sounds sad but hey I anti makeing that mistake

How much were you getting quotes for on a 120 corey? Just that when I was shopping about for my ZR the difference between a 105 and 120 was very little and as Mick says it would be a better starting point. TBH you would save money in the long run giving you more to spend on mods u like

If you do get a 110 tbh apart from exhaust and induction I think you would be mair worthwhile spending money on cosmetic upgrades

*edit* seen why now lol
