Hi all,
Im a new old member
been away from scoobs for a while and am back in the seat of a V4 type r (factory standard) and im looking for advice on upgrades to make it a reliable everyday car. What im looking for is the "essential" upgrades + costs in your experience. I will also be using the car for occasional track days.
First of all is a re-map to 95 (with booster?) so what ecu do you recommend + how much? and from reading the site you all rate andy F so how do I arrange him to do it and how much?
full service of all oils+belts etc. I have Silkolene pro s 10w 50 fully synthethic and silkolene silk trans for box etc. Is this grade of oil ok? whats the best plugs to use?
should i uprate fuel and oil pumps? if so with what? also as i will be doing a few track days should i uprate the sump to avoid starvation?
To keep an eye on things i want to get a knocklink and defi gauges in centre pod, which clocks will i get? was thinking oil pressure/oil + water temp ? (already have factory boost gauge but its a bit small)
I want to uprate the handling also and reading japanese performance magazine they rate the whiteline bushings and rear anti-roll bar kits upgrade, anyone got experience of this kit?
They also rate the eibach 25mm lowering springs but any car ive driven with lowering springs has been awful on the road!
In time i want to upgrade the brakes to APs but for the meantime im thinking of getting brake cylinder bracket and Ferrodo pads on standard discs, what do think?
They also recommend ERLs aquamist water injection system to help reduce temps and detonation, anyone got any experience and what cost?
A LOT of questions i know but any help appreciated
Thanks
Maurice
