BTW, my fave is banging tunes.

Only useful mod when you're doing 120mph down your favourite back road, or sat in London traffic at standstill.

The Corrado's Ram-Air induction kit beats the sounds of a stereo or exhuast. Its sucks skirts off of girls and the dummys out of babies mouths!! If you've got a VR6, get one!!

The Cab's best mod has to be the wheels - if you've seen them "in the flesh", you'll understand why.

The best tunes you can have in a car is the Exhaust note.....

The Stereo was defunct in my mk1 cab cos i preferred the sound of the engine!

Gotta agree on the modded air box and K&N filter. 

I have seen it mentioned a few times but never any details, what is the warm up regulator mod?

for me definately my suspension, they may not be coil overs but theyre still very competative. On twisty roads i give a lot of things a run for their money. Me in my mark 2 driver with a shoddy carb managed to beat a pug 205 1.9 gti

Right, had a new exhaust fitted at the weekend, so I've changed my mind.

New exhaust note beats Radio 1 anytime  :smiley:

In-car DVD is still cool for traffic jams though

First has gotta be the K&N kit - really nice sucky sound!

Then the Sony CD unit. Revolving face and nice graphics as well as a great sound! Oh and fun playing with the remote!
