What to spend £400 quid on???

Jamee

I have a spare £400, shall i buy a manifold, or suspension, i really want to lower it, but i just cant bring myself to spend £400-500 on a suspension set up when £100 buys me springs, and leave me with £300 to spend on ARB, and front strut brace, so do i blow it on a manifold only, or whitleline arb, front strut brace, and springs?

Sjdickso

I would go springs and cams and a whiteline ARB?

Jamee

Oooohh never thought of cams, £235 on exchange basis, Vocky - you got any spare i can send off, then you can have my old ones once swapped? What do cams add???...8bhp? and will it give me back my lower power lost from the 2.4mani?
£235 - cams
£100 - springs
£100 whiteline arb....sounds good.

Jamee

Add a 200 cell sports cat to that list as well.

Sjdickso

I think Piper say 10bhp increase.

Not sure if you will get any lower power back, but i bet it will pull like a train higher up.

vocky

I don't have any spare cams 🙁

there is a cheap set on ebay

Jamee

Ive decided to buy a set of 45mm springs - recomendations please
whiteline ARB - lmf
front strut brace - where to, and how much?
cams - if i can get a set free until mine come out or for £25.

JohnnyN

Why would you want to buy a Whiteline ARB from LMF? Courtenay will supply for £95 which is cheaper than LMF. Give Mark Watts a call and tell him I sent you!

;-)

Jamee

Ok ok dont shout at me, i dont know which is cheaper, i only just thought of getting one. Is that delivered john?

Jamee

What one and where from for front strut brace, and do they make a difference like the rear ARB does?

JohnnyN

Courtenay can deliver to the door for £100.45p.

LMF delivered is £115.00 plus delivery (estimated at £10). :shock:

For a front strut brace I would go for an Raid HP polished aluminium brace. drool.gif

Jamee

And how much is one of them Mr John?? and where from, do they fit mine?

JohnnyN

Here you go...perfick!!

Jamee

And it will deffo fit mine?, will it make much difference??? as i am hovering over the buy it now buton.

JohnnyN

They do stiffen up the front. Have a good read as it does say about slight modification to the fuse box? It can't be that difficult. Nothing super Daz can't sort out. Its definately listed for your car.

Jamee

The fuse box mod looks easyish, geoff (ffoeg) did it and done a how to.

Jamee

Just bought it, should be here in a week. 😃

JohnnyN

Well done mate.

;-)

Jamee

Just rying to find the cheapest adjustable whiteline RARB now, and some decent 40mm springs.

JohnnyN

I've already given you the cheapest place. Ring them in the morning.
