What's it had done to it so far?
I'd say (full) exhaust, cam, stally assuming no mods so far. Or convert to manual. |

I reckon find 2nd hand 2 1/2 inch exhaust and extractors which you could probably get for 500 then get a manual conversion which you could probably get for around 500-600 then on top of that you could find some 2nd super low springs and still have change!

ok heres my list. As you already have the full zorts then:
1. Manual conversion - it will suck alot of that up, but its such a massive difference you will wonder why you didn't do it earlier. 2. Cam - something from wade 3. 3:45 LSD from a XR

Intake and exhaust are the easiest mods (not neccesarily the cheapest though), im wanting to complete these myself (when i can afford them).

"NOS" the poor mans blower! Should be able to get a kit for under a grand. Install it yourself. + you will need a bigger fuel pump, like a bosch 040.
