Hey guys!

2nd time lucky posting this! (Internet Dropped out)

Im looking to get into the 133 scene in the next few months as i save up. looking to get one for around £3k hopefully as the prices drop.

I have been on here alot the past few days asking alot of questions and hopefully have an idea on what i want to do with it

Heres a couple of ideas ive had for making it my own!!

- Interior -
ReUpholstery of the Seats to try and capture some of the 182/r26 Model. with the two tone alcantara/ leather.
New Speaker system
Thoroughly cleaned

Has anyone used the space behind the revsmeter for anything? seems a waste of space!!

- Exterior -
Colour depending
Accent Pieces and Stickers from RS
New wheels maybe? I do like the RS standards but are the tyre options expensive?

- Under the Bonnet -
This is where id like to keep it simple.
ECU remap to get a little more torque,
New Plugs, hoses and wires.
New air Box with feeds through bumper,

Are there any other Upgrades i should be looking into? Cams etc? and companies that can provide for the 133?

otherwise thats it! Just a nice clean car to give me some enjoyment! One of the main reasons ive been drawn to this is how cheap the insurance is!! under 500 for the year!!

If you have ideas or tips please let me know!!
