| I'd change the side repeaters to smoked oval, lower it and put it on bigger wheels to start with. |

| I would figure out what was not needed inside lose it, get some coilovers that are designed with handling in mind, change the wheels to something lighter/less blingy and spend the bling money on decent tyres. I would upgrade the brakes to something like V6 spec and use braided lines with DOT 5.1 fluid. There's loads to do. |

| Get the best suspension you can afford, and not necesserialy the lowest! Also get the best brakes you can afford, 4 pots with 300mm discs work great on cavs, V6 stuff has a habit of overheating on the cav for track use. Put poly bushes in the front wishbones and rear beam to get rid of any play from standard bushes!
Also take the front fog lights out and use air ducting straight to the discs to cool, very cheap mod and very effective.
