binliner 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 If you mean performance mods (as opposed to cosmetic)... FK koni coilovers - definitely improve handling, reduce body rollPowerflow cat back exhaust - not sureBMC carbon airbox - has made it feel a bit more responsive especially since I fitted the ducting down to a custom 'hole' (!) in my grill ... the downside is fitting the ducting onto the filter makes it quieter Link to post Share on other sites
ukdub 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 yes performance mods. i have a bmc fitted as well find it better than the pro ram air filter i had on Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 full stainless scorpion zorst(lovely noise) and supa ram filter(even better noise). definately pulls harder and hear it coming for miles on full chat, very addictive! Link to post Share on other sites

Tristinh 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 K & N filter, makes the car growl, not sure if it has made any difference to the performance & Magnex cat back system. Link to post Share on other sites
patrick green 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I've only got a Ram Air filter on as yet (only had the car 2 weeks tho!) I find it dooes make a difference as the car is more responsive and revs more freely. Sounds good too! I will be adding a Koni/Eibach combo on the suspension front and a Jetex exhaust soon. I'm not expecting huge gains in power but based on my old MK2 I've found they do make the car more drivable especially the suspension changes.A re-map & bigger TB from AMD will make a more noticable difference I think.

ukdub 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 i have got the koni/eibach set up fitted by awesome i will let u have a go at the rr day to let you see what you think Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I've got koni's but it still handles crap. CAT Back Power flow (nice deep note) and ive got a BMC CDA (sounds and picks up abit better) ... Link to post Share on other sites
vdubgirl 3 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I have a Avo fully adjustable coil over kit and thats lovely I can now get my vr to sit right on its 17's + it helps the handling. I have a remus exhaust and pipercross induction kit awaiting my vr for when it comes out of the body shop this week and I cant wait to get those on and hear my little baby purr or should I say roar 8o) Link to post Share on other sites
patrick green 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Claire what are the Avo's like for ride quality? I had them briefly on my MK2 but I didn't like them at all - far too crashy & bangy! Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Steve 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mine has Eibach anti roll bars, upper strut brace and 25 (more like 30mm) lowered suspension. It handles well, but the suspension may be a little too hard, but not so it rattles your fillings!As for the engine, its got Kent Cams and a chip. Good performance gain. The only problem is that the idle is not exactly silky smooth with the cams in. However it does pull like a train. Link to post Share on other sites
