Im actually stopping myself from upgrading the car and will only upgrade when the specific part needs replacing...I plan to replace the front brakes to MK2 set and get some volk racing or champion forged 18's with neovas but only when the stuff wears out...the alphaN is very intriguing, now you just added something that I never even considered...will research about that soon--just because of the sound

the cup shifter cables will be added only after I get to try it out as I find the stock shifter good enough for me

But the list you guys made is actually pretty helpful for newbies like me

Nice thread, Im learning a little about sound systems and even new Land Rovers
that's actually the best modification you can do to a mk I ... I had a '99 mk I in the UK, those 4 pot TT brakes are just not up to prolonged track use ... although switching to a synthetic brake fluid like SRF will help a lot!

pinoyamg, the rt12 is such a strong car, the power from 3rd gear up is crazy but its not a track monster, the quality of its build is excellent considering how 'modified' the car is, but not really for a short track like BRC
