Which bits aren't you sure about?

Just find a tuner you trust and give them that list, should all come in under $2500

nice list henz !

ironman a tune alone should see you around 270 or so rwkw but injectors will be pretty much maxed.

best talk to a tuner, they know exactly what there on about and can help you get what your after!

HI Guys,

I've purchased a Growler kit on ebay for $455 and waiting for it to arrive. Then on to a basic tune for now.

My money is going towards the handling/ grip issues. If I can get more corner speed out of the car, I will. Short of stripping weight from the car I'll just have to add more rubber contact. Tocchi had tried 265 by 18 slicks on the front but I'm looking at 20's so I might be stuck. I just like going around corners quickly and when there are so many speed camera's around it's the only legal challenge left.

Handling upgrade advice, anyone?

Even terms like 'Xcal' hold some mystery for this old fart Henz but I'll get there pretty quick now :spoton:

Thanks again for the shopping list...... 2.5 grand sounds pretty damn good actually.

Wow....30+ rwkw just from a tune, that's impressive! yep, I'll certainly take you guys advice and go have a chat to a tuner ....I'll check out some of the sponsors in Melbourne as I'm moving there after I retire in a few months.

Handling improvements and 20's arent something that go hand in hand. Definitely a contradiction...

Your either up for handling / grip improvements, or looks...

20's weigh a sh*tload more than stockies or a nice strong, lightweight Jap style racing rim.

If your really after handling, you should be looking at Koni / Bilstein / Tein coilovers or at least shocks and springs, replacing your front end bushes with nolathane items, upgrading your swaybars and fitting better compound / slightly wider tyres.

yep, if you are after handling / grip plenty of info in the suspension thread.......heres a tip re wheels though, give the 20's the arse. if you are serious, 18s are the go.

Have gone with the Growler, and stopped. Now looking at 20"s again mainly for looks. Plotting 20x9 255/30/20 +36

front and 20x10 285/30/20 +40 rear. Big fan of Goodyear F1 assemetrical on my 18"s now unless there is some tips out there.
