I'm on a bit of a tight budget at the moment, so I can't get everything I want all in one go

So my question to you guys, is what should I go for first; wheels, exhaust, coilovers, front/rear/side spats or intake?

Just can't make my mind up :/

 

What's more important to you?

Looks - wheels
Handling - coilovers
Sound - exhaust/ intake

I started with wheels, exhaust then coilovers.

I'd probably choose the other way round now

 

Drive it stock for long enough that the things you want to change jump out at you.

A year in and my biggest gripes are seating position, which some lowered rails and a decent bucket seat would fix. Noise, I'd honestly like it a little louder, the exhaust mod on stock is probably enough. And steering feel which there are any number of suggestions on, none of which are conclusive really.

On a pre-facelift the first thing I would want to do is wheels. And without spending huge money the best option is facelift 17" wheels.

 

Take the lid off the airbox if you haven't already done it, that's your intake mod taken care of and its free of charge.

 

Use your money for a track day. Get To know the car and enjoy it for what it's good for. You will get a good idea of what area you want to refine too, if any. But defo get on track and get to grips with her!

 

What he said ^

 

DIY rear lower brace. The oem brace is flimsy. Should be able to get materials for less than £20.

 

Driver tuition.

Good god, clearly the first purchase for any owner! Ordering mine later!

 

Assuming you have just got your S change all fluids, decent gear and diff oil, ATE super blue brake fluid and decent pads. Then you know the exact make and spec of everything that makes your car stop and go.

Then get your geo set up unless you are sure it has been done recently.

Then exhaust mod and cheap eBay intake total cost £150 ish will sort the sounds out and annoy LG.
