New 18" wheels OR engine remap and exhaust first?
« on: 25 April 2009, 11:51 »
Chaps,

I was originally going to upgrade my std 17's to 18's but have had second thoughts. I'm now thinking a Re-map, exhaust upgrade and filter should come first. TBH i have no real problem with the 17s but would like to change them sooner rather than later but saying that I would also like some 'extra' power as well !!
I have a reasonable budget to spend so what would you do first? Any recomendations on remaps, exhausts etc etc

Cheers, Smudge
