my m3 lease is up soon, leasing a new s2000 and have a 1000 to spend on "goodies" what is the best combo for performance thats not too intrusive? intake exhaust? intake v-afc?

 

VAFC and some quality tuning time on a dyno.

 

Road racing school/advanced drivers ed.

The difference a good drivers' course will give you will far outweigh any potential gains you're going to get from modding your car.

multiply it by 4 and get boost

 

exhaust!

 

for 1000:

x-brace = 200 (helps with handling)
cai = 220
vafc w/harness = 420
tuning vafc = 200

total about 1000 will net u anywhere from 8-20 rwhp (depends on who you talk to)

 

What does "Performance" mean to you? There isn't much bang for the buck trying to increase engine performance. It will take more than $1K to be able to actually feel a power increase. Same goes for the X-brace.

You can improve handling significantly for $1K. Adjustable Konis and some KG/MM springs will definitely be noticeable.

I know you said you got one hp from vafc tuning, but arent there parts of your hp curve where the gains were 5+?
