Best mod I made to my 4/4 was taking out the knackered old 87bhp CVH engine and putting in a tuned 165bhp GM Ecotec VVTi. Or to be more accurate, paying Kevin Vernon to do it for me. Other than that I've been particularly pleased with:
- Fitting hard chrome kingpins - SSL Front suspension - Quaife ATB 4.1:1 Diff - Simmonds hood - My 3D printed coin tray and water bottle holder - Additional LED brake light strip mounted to rear luggage rack - Tool tray under rear shelf - Twin piston billet front brake callipers and reaction bars - Panhard rod and anti-tramp bars
Modifications which upon reflection were a waste of time and have now been discarded:
- Wind wings - Subwoofer behind the driver's seat - removing the damper blades and fitting a telescopic damper
