Been looking at sites for the parts this morning!  
 
JR what would you recomend I do first! Im thinking just get an exhaust system and induction kit sorted first then move onto the hard core mods! 
 
From the advice everyone has given me on here these are the mods I intend to do! 
 
Inlet manifold 
Cams 
Exhaust Manifold 
High Flow Cat 
Cat Back Exhaust 
Unichip 
Induction Kit (what is best one for extra BHP? I know your not lookin at a great BHP gain but what would give me the best results?) 
Rod Bolts  
 
What order should these mods be done in?

I've only done a few engine mods to mine but it makes a big difference from standard,  
 
dbilas inlet from regal at £470 
performance air filter at £40! 
full sebring system brought second hand for £100 
 
and thats it.....not sure of the bhp, i'll be getting it tested soon though.

Paul_j's 106 got 15.63 down the strip and that was with Pugsport Induction Kit and Pugsport Group N Decat Exhaust so brosters would cane a standard one....

Ok............Ive been looking around and I have come up with this! I'm going to do all the mods in 4 stages! Let me know if I need to change anything guys!   
 
Stage 1 
 
Exhaust Manifold 
Cat back Exhaust System 
High Flow Sports Cat 
 
Stage 2  
 
Induction Kit 
HT Leads 
Spark Plugs 
 
(This is the cheaper of the stages, I know BHP won't be gained by Leads and spark plug buy hey!) 
 
Stage 3 
 
Inlet Manifold 
 
Stage 4 
 
Cams 
ARP Rods 
Unichip 
 
 
Let me know what you think! 
 
Cheers

the unichip is the only thing you cant do urself ARP's will only require taking the sump off and putting the new bolts in (someone correct me if im wrong), and cams are just a case of taking off and puting the new ones in the right place

cant unless you spend money on dta style management as you need the cam sensor to work and it needs some big thingys attached to the standard pullies
