Fluffy dice? Oh and leopard/tiger/zebra print seat covers with carpets to match?

TBH - sounds like you have got all bases covered - what tyres are you running and in what size?

Carry out a RWD conversion and drop in the 260 drivetrain. That's what I would like to do one day.

From what I have read and been advised I would agree - I have the Potenza RE40 205/45/17 and they are great when warmed up but a bit sketchy in the cold / damp . Some guys I have seen posts from elsewhere use Toyo 888's (I think ) and rate these even though they are a track tyre.

Let us know what you do go for and what you get.

From what you have done so far which has given the best bang for buck / packs the best puch ?

the cams u notice the most, and ppl who dont have a cammed zed, and they go out in your notice the difference, all the mods are good in there own way, the cheapest one was the decat and prob freed up around 6-7bhp around the same bhp as an airfilter and exhuast but at half the cost

James - when you say an air filter do you mean a change of the OEM filter or an induction kit e.g. ITG/BMC? I was considering an induction kit but may well just go for a filter if there is no extra benefit with an induction kit.
