everything i have done to my car is listed in my signature. i have got the tein springs but not fitted yet. was planning on doing more bracing next but have been looking at anti roll bars and uprated links. any suggestions as to the next modification for no more than £300.

I've just bought some instructed laps around Thruxton in a Porsch for less than £100. Just a thought if you get really stuck; although with your stage of mods you must be thinking turbo at some point.

More info on your Thruxton deal please.

Or a Unichip, about that price S/H. Depending on the car it was on and matching yours, you might be able to get away without a tune.

I would do the anti-roll bars.. good mod... I got the following Whiteline parts fitted to mine, part numbers included to aid your search for the best price.

the thruxton thing sounds fantastic could you pm me some info on this. people say that once you have drove a 911 you become hooked for life.

i have got a unichip. it makes the 2 much better to drive with the extra low down torque.

was looking at the adjustable camber stuff because i have just got the tein s tech springs but was going to see what it was like first. i bet your car is good fun to drive now. i remember seeing it at the cheshire camping trip. i didnt really speak to anyone (bit shy) but it was good to look at some other 2's. need to come on some more meets and get to know everyone

i have decided that the things to choose from are
* front member brace
* anti roll bars
* trd quickshift

which do you think makes the most enjoyable difference?

i have also read about people uprating the arb links to two's r us ones. how much of a difference does this make?

markiii · December 24, 2008, 18:54

quikshift

uktotty · December 24, 2008, 19:36

Unichip is fab

VVT-i · December 24, 2008, 20:37

I have no experiance with a quickshift.. so going by my personal experiance I would have to say that value for money AND the difference it made I would have to say the Whiteline bars etc.. was a world of difference to the cars handling (coupled with a full geometric adjustment) I also have the Tien S Tech Springs fitted so at least you will know they all go together alright.

Oh!.. and don't be so shy... next time a meet comes up near you.. get along to it, the Cheshire trip was the first time I had met everyone with a few exceptions, and everyone is as friendly and outgoing as you could possibly be.... except for a few exceptions lol s;)

s;) joking..

i have read a lot of good reveiws about the quickshift. do you not fancy one of these. in theory with your mods (turbo) it should make even more difference due to the effect the quicker change would have on spool

Kool PT · December 24, 2008, 21:40

the quickshift is possibly my favourite mod, have a look in my sig for what i've got.

i notie that you seem to be focussed on performance mods in this thread, but having looked at the pics of your two I personally reckon it's begging to have facelifted side vents & rear grill inserts.

performance wise, it might be cheaper and easier to get in on custardavenger's front member brace group buy. these are 'similar' to the TOMS part which is widely accepted as being the ultimate chassis bracing. furthermore with a pre-03 model your stock bracing at current won't even be as good as a stock facelift model. i haven't modified my ARBs but i would say that opinion seems to be divided on these.

I'm in two minds about fitting one... 1 mind (mine) says yes... the other mind (which I think belongs to the man from Delmonte... well.. maybe not him ) she say no! s:lol: :lol: s:lol: not at the moment. s:)

s:)

I think next on my list could be an oil cooler kit of somesort.

Your car is an '00, so it doesn't have "member braces". Corky sells better versions of these.

update on progress! .my tein s tech springs are in for sale section.
i have now got my hands on a used trd sportivo set which has solved a lot of problems:
# my car will be lower
# it will have the stiffer springs (not too stiff at front)
# i wont have to worry about the added stress on the stock dampers
# it will have the uprated anti-roll bars
# the kit has already been set up and tuned for the car/roads so i know it will do "exactly what it says on the tin"

i have also got a trd front member brace. just fitted my new momo team 300mm steering wheel. it takes a bit of getting used to but it makes driving even more enjoyable.

just a few more questions:

will i need uprated arb links?
who does them apart from two's r us? (shipping!)
how much am i looking at paying for some?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

You don't need the uprated links but certainly no harm in doing so if they are still as cheap as when I got mine made up from Whiteline UK...

W0007 - universal swaybar link pack £8

Don't quote me on the part number.. it could well be a universal part, when I got mine done it was something that they had never done before and they were made up to suit, all it is is a threaded bar cut to lenght with the joints added to each end.

so what is the difference between these from whiteline and the ones from twos r us?

VVT-i · December 29, 2008, 23:26

No idea. I've never seen the 2's r us ones.. but here is a piccy of the whiteline ones (I only got rear ones)

Perhaps someone has a piccy of the 2's r us links?

Anonymous · December 29, 2008, 23:29

so is that £8 for each one?
do they do both front and rear?
they look very good thanks for photo
