Have been saving for a while for first upgrade and am half way there (got around £1250.00) but need some advice.

I still will owe approx 9K on the car in another 2 years as part of the final paymenton the finance. However the small print states that the car shouldn't be modified in any way.

So do I get the upgrade to 410bhp and not tell the finance company when the time is up.

Or keep the car after the 3 years or do I buy the car myself and then trade it in or sell privately.

This really is going to affect what I do next.

What I would do, especially with the Monaro stopping production soon. Car could be worth more than the final payment.

Brake upgrades can be better than performance modifications in reality but then that is just my opinion.

I just bought a new sent of front (re-designed) Tarox6 for one of my smarts, they retail in four figures but I bet more fun that just doubling the bhp.

A57 HSV - they are now vented discs and smaller pads - yo!

More opinions from the opinionated.

Yeah best perfomance mod you can make as you can safely use all the power & brake confidently so much later.
