Default Next mod...ideas?

well got some spare cash lying about so time for another mod. I'm thinking of maybe some cooling action as it's coming into good weather now. So im thinking what could I do... Intercooler/aftermarket air filter (cone filter)? What would my options be?

Coilover conversion
Auto to manual
Look into cooling engine

styling i would recommend somebody making you up a boot skirt thingy shown in this picture ;-)

the M3 bumper doesnt seem to appeal to S12 purists, but does to petrolheads.

the thing i love about S12's is that for tuppence they go like stink, there wont be another on the road and you will be able to rinse 99% of the cars you see on the road. about 5 months back i kept up with a brand new M3 until he had enough... though i swear i would have beaten myself if i was in the M3 if that makes sense.

the only thing is the petrol consumption is dire. i get 25mpg, 30 on the motorway going at 60mph.

pukka will be able to help you with everything on tuning!

Ahh i'm loving that rear window top sopiler off the roof. Would love to see that side on to see what it looks like. Cheers for that Londonsilvia

Well I got all my manual conversion stuff so that's probably what I'll do next but I really want to get the silvia lowered and better handling. Really want coilovers but it looks like a very tricky job that could go wrong if you don't know what you're doing.
