And should have been in the project section lol dont worry will get it moved ;D

Thanks for deleting the other Phil, must have had a brain fart when I looked for members cars bit. D'OH!

[move][size=16pt]UPDATE[/size][/move]

Well, I've ordered the GSR induction, rang Peter earlier and sorted it all out, so fingers crossed, this time next week should be GSR'd ;D

Following a rethink on the modifying front, I've decided that once the induction's on (plus possibly a face lift rad grille) and I've had the emap done (fingers crossed next Feb at the RR day) I'll be going for either the full Eibach pro kit, or a set of the Interalloy coilovers that pop up on eBay from time to time. And somewhere in there I'll be doing the rear brakes (OMP rotors and pads and NBM Woolford braided hoses, to match the front). I'm also thinking strut braces front and possibly rear. Not sure whether to go OMP (which could mean an ECU move) or wait out for the eagerly anticipated GSR brace. And of course, I'll be upgrading the exhaust, but only when I can find one to do the GSR kit and remap justice.

Once all that's done I'll be looking at body styling, and maybe eventually a respray, though that'll depend how the cars doing. I'm thinking Lester bumper extensions and side skirts, and probably Lester grilles too just to keep it uniform. And maybe a tasteful and subtle spoiler...although the jury's still out on that one.

Finally I'll be looking into the more radical tuning parts IE: head and cams, and one final remap to get it all working together finally.

The last phase will be to tour the country breaking into the top racing venues and ragging the nuts off it ;D

you wont need to move your induction kit for the strut on the 1.2! ;)

All sounds good though matey! ;D

I've heard about the brace damaging the big cable plugs on the ECU because it's very close. And that's the last thing I want!!!

on the 2.4's yeah ;)

One of the 1.4 owners on FF had a similar problem too though. Might just buy it and see what happens.

Your correct about the brace causing damage to the ecu on the 1.2/4 the cross bar is far to close to the ECU for comfort ..OMP brace is not a one car fits all option and they were far to lazy thinking it could be ..as many manufacturers they couldnt care a damn and dont do enough R&D into the actual fitting on each model >:( supersprint is another such company ..just because the stilo is not to popular a model they decide to discontinue what they already have in their cataloge ::)..this is why sites like performancestilo are so important to the development of those parts they cant be arsed to produce.. and without companies like GSR we would be reduced to crap like K&N etc ..
