Here's a quick guide if you are considering tuning your car, in order of value for money...

Stage 0

1. Replace ignition system
2. Fix all air leaks
3. Give the car a good service
4. Replace worn bushes, mounts etc.

Engine

1. To make your engine significantly more powerful = ECU Upgrade
2. To make it even more powerful = Turbo upgrade, exhaust upgrade, custom ECU upgrade.
3. For any more power, you will probably need engine work doing.

Brakes

1. To make your car stop much better = Performance Brake Pads
2. To make it stop even better = Larger discs and performance pads
3. For maximum braking capability = sort suspension and use good tyres

Handling

1. To make your car handle slightly better = Strut Brace
2. To really make your car handle loads better = Suspension Upgrade, and consider springs too
3. Don't forget to use good tyres
