What would be a wise Stage 1/2/3/4 tuning package for the FD?
If you\'re setting off on a fairly inclusive tuning adventure then do it the \'right way\'; get the fuel system and engine management sorted out first. Consider your performance goals VERY CAREFULLY and source, build and install an adequate fuel delivery and management package. You cant go wrong from there...
JMO - sensible head on :-)

1 - stereo & neons
2 - Alloys & suspension
3 - tint windows & new wing
4 - respray
Sorted
so something along the lines of uprated fuel pump and secondary injectors along with a PFC to control the fuelling be a good start?
And then the real fun can begin. I think i\'d only want to go upto around 330bhp as i want to stay with the sequential twins. So what would you recommend?
Of course scope for more in the future might be nice.
OK, my idea of whats needed for 330BHP.
Apexi PFC or other adjustable ECU
Uprated fuel pump
Fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror
After market fuel pressure regulator
Cat less exhaust system
Neons/strobes pulsing with the bass note
Pimp tints
That should about cover it.

Oh also a set of brake pads that will stop you when required. ;)
Thanks - gives me some idea of what to aim for. not sure i\'ll be getting everything on your list though;)
Sorry, I must have been reading to many of OJ\'s posts. :p to the bish!
