Mods for BHP for £££ Ideas..., Best mods for money Options

[jaq1967]

Hi Folks.

I am new to the world of Celica's and have fallen for my 6G - called Lucile, an ST-202 (...sad I know! lol). Lovely curves...Ummmm.....

Can anybody tell me what modifications can be done to enhance the BHP of the car and at what price? - just average bhp increases and value needed!

I know it is a little bit like 'how long is a piece of string' kind of question, but I would love to know where everybody started and which mod they went for and why and what results they got and if it was hard to do/install.

Hope I'm making sense.

I did quote on UK spec online with Bugdet Insurance (hehe! cr@p) and came up with £700. Changed it to 'Import' and it too changed to £2490 F/C. Did some shopping about and did get it down to £550 full comp (I live in SW2, London - Brixton (Riot Zone), if you know it! So if it sounds a lot it probably isn't living here!!!). The average quote for me was £750 to £800 with those who specialise in Imports. The big firms suck. BTW...I'm 35 with 18 years driving and no dings or points. The insurance company if your interested was Liverpool Victoria (08706-004528) that I used! That engine is a beaut btw... how many bhp do you reckon the intake makes on top??? Jaq1967

my insurance cost £2000 - and im not even 1st driver!!! (Thats what u get for bein 18!!) The only company that would insure me on a GT was Tescos
