Status: offline 		Been thinking about upgrades for a while now...

Stage 1
Sports back boxes, centre section and cats...begins on Monday. 
Not quite decided whether to stick with 4 pipes, or to go for the GTS 'oval' look.

Stage 2
DBW enhancement module...Installation hopefully begining October.

Stage 3
Wheels/tyres
Keep changing my mind between sticking with originals, or going for something a little different.

Any thoughts?

Will post updates and pics when possible,

Regards,

Enzo.

If you change the wheels I think you'd struggle to better the Sport GT wheels.

Agree with you...
Just got back from Larinis having discussed the options this morning, and have gone for the quad pipes.
Regards,
Enzo.

Status: offline 		Hi Bigfoot,
That's exactly what the guys at Larinis said...how loud do I want it to to be ...
so, we are going without the centre pipes to begin with, and add them if necessary!!

Hi tbody,
Think I have almost made up my mind to stick with what i have...

Regards,

Enzo.
