Have got an Airtec TMIC and some BC coilovers going on next week?

Will be getting some braided brake hoses on too. Am tempted to go for a 17% pulley too (the JCW comes with an 11% one), but not sure on that, doesn't really need it TBH.

It was mainly the suspension really, as the stock suspension is quite hard and crashy on such a small car. Hopefully it'll be a little more comfy on the butt cheeks afterwards! Mostly for the waff, but also means I can drop it a little too

You'll find the coilies way more comfy than the stock stuff although BCs are renowned for knocking.

Not sure on the size of the Airtec but on my GP I had a 17% but the I/C had 2 additional rows on it. That meant it could cope with the extra heat and it stopped the car suffering from temp clipping.

IF it's bigger than the stock cooler then go for the pulley, in theory it gives you 6% more bhp and torque and it'll surprise you how much difference it makes.

If you want to play with the suspension set up, get some adj top mounts and adj RCAs.
