Question Gimme some SP20 Mods please

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and have been reading some of the forums posted on mods for a 2001 Manual 2.0L SP20 Hatch.

I have made some 'minor' mods so far with the introduction of a K&N Air Filter and some after market Carbon Fibre Tail Lights. I'm now looking at changing the exhaust system and was wondering if any of you can help me with some ideas please, ie: what type of system is a good one to buy & where to go in Melbourne for that particular system. I was going to get in touch with PROMAZ out near Thomastown & see what they could tell me, but I thought I would give this forum a go first.

At a later date I will also be replacing the rims on my SP20 from 16" to 17". I have been shopping around for the style I like, still undecided, but have a fair idea, am just waiting for my tyres to wear down first!

So, any suggestions, views, ideas would be greately appreciated.

Thanx a million

Hi..

Firstly welcome to the forum.. i hope that it provides you with as much information and entertainment as it has for me since i've joined!

OK.. i would recomment posting a topic in the performance section.. not many people from other states would visit the "victorian" section... So if you wish i can move this topic for you so it gets more exposure.

I would recommend that Gavin [chicaboo] would be a good place to start with exhausts. He has spent a bit of time [and albiet money] on getting his exhaust just right for his car, even if it's the 1.8lt. I'm sure though that other people who have SP20's will give you their ideas.

Hopefully we'll see you on an upcoming cruise/meet!

Regards
Adam
