My rosso red beast

[E30_TBO]

I have just joined this site hopping for some advice and help along the way of modding my standard series 2 (pics 2 follow)

Brake upgrade from Slim
Suspension kit + poly bushes
Exhaust
Intercooler

Then look at raising the boost.

I would definately recommend sorting the brakes before you do anything, and i don't mean an upgrade to EBC Greenstuff, the cheapest possible brakes solution for anyone serious about tuning their turbo should atleast upgrade to Cossie front disks, using standard calipers, with caliper mounting brackets, DS2000 pads, last thing you wanna do is stack your turbo, when it gets a lil bit quicker, i have been there, and after spending 800 quid on front end rebuild incl respray and parts, i could of saved myself all that hassle had i have invested 150 or so on the brakes.

Cheers guys As mentioned above I have already put on some green stuff pads and some Black Dimond drilled discs and I am not to inpressed with the improvements,
Also i am thinking about lowering the car what mm springs should i use (not to low as there are millions of speed bumps around my area)

[E30_TBO]

As well as tuning I need some help on body mods ......
Should i keep front fog lights ?
" " do one of thouse evo style big mouth cut outs (pre 90 spec bumper) ?
Should i change the colour are get a fresh coat of rosso red ? If so does anyone know any good body shops in Yorkshire ?
Any other ideas ?

Keep the lines clean and smooth mate. Delock it, paint door handles, lose the rub strips on the doors and 1/4's. Get the standard wheels refurbed...diamond cut and polished faces with black other bits. And id say respray in rosso red again

Cheers dangerousdave just a quick question, in the picture thats flashing at the bottom of your screen there is a mini, i used to have one that looked identical 1380cc twin carbs the full works just wondered if it was the same one ?????

[dangerousdave]

Nope Its my mates, 1300mg metro engine and front brakes, hi-lo's, 2" zorst, buckets, etc. But he bought it as a standard brown city so id guess not lol

You could stick 9 exhaust pipes on it too.
