Oke, i've got about £600-700 maybe 800 at a push to "mess" with basically 
I honestly don't know wot to do ... My ideas :
1) Get the Wheels powder coated a diff colour ?
2) Wether to save my money and get some TB's ?
3) Save more money, sell my car and get something Turbo 
4) Or to buy a Calibra Turbo Engine - Saving abit more money up 
Jus random thoughts really atm, so i thought id like to discuss my options with u LOVELY people

pics of car?
depends what you want out of the car at the end of the day? (track use, all out speed etc)
Personally i would wait till you have more money, leave the wheels and concentrate on one of the engine options

I would leave the wheels atm, they look alrite as they are in my eyes
You could sell you inlet manifold for abit aswell (unless that some of money is including the sale of that too). i dunno wat i would do tbh maybe a 2ltr xe on throttle bodies?

Ye i thought about selling bits from my engine and gettin a 2l on TB's .. But then i think, well Calibra Tubro power  Altho the inlet is quite a rare one, Don't come across DBilas everyday 
I also got some 288mm Disc's to put on aswel...already got these, but it's abit too cold to fit them jus yet Spanner+Cold Hands= Lots of swear words

i thing that would give you a good hike in power to keep you entertained for a while (170/180bhp ish).
calibra turbo power is an option, providing you've got the funds, as it costs alot more to convert.
get them fitted uve got the rest of you day too warm your hands up

Yer i help my mate fit his beasty calibra turbo engine, was alot of pissin about tbh .. But wen it got rolling roaded at 281bhp it was WELL worth it And not a dodgey RR either Its had alot of work done to it ...
Im unsure atm  Keep thinking .. Ye 4*4 Turbo ... Then think it wont be as much fun wen my little corsa abuses a BMW driver
As for my hands I'll see wot the weather is like

I think it depends what you want out of the car at the end of the day. Im going down the let route hopefully, and i think it will be well worth it .
I want to see pics of 288mm discs and calipers on tomorrow, no matter what the weather is

100% agree with Broster on this one. go get some proper management fitted, that will see good gains and make the most of your current setup. also its not a massive step then if you decide to go for Tb's one day

something like the dasket stand alone managment, it will need a rr session but then you can be sure of it being set up perfectly.
if your planning on adding a few more bits to your engine then i would wait til you do that imo, whats the current spec of your engine at the mo?
oops broster beat me to it

to be honest, i dont have a clue.....i phoned him enquiring a price when he started rattling on about all the spec - i told him to stop as it was going straight over my head....
+ the cornish accent was doing my head in...
