Yeah but at that point you have to start asking yourself... where does it end?

It's called "Neverending story"

Experiment is always fun and curiosity makes you broke.

Well let me state this publicly on the record... my mechanical engine mods will end with the GP intercooler. The only engine-related thing I'll consider after that is a GP ECU flash, but that might be hard to find.

GP intercooler is the best mod I have so far. I love the feel (and the look of the engine bay ) after the IC installed.

Starting to get confused here...

Maxi are you going in a different direction? A 4 seater GP is a car with all OEM/JCW/GP parts right? Are you going for a bigger bang when it comes to the head?

Sometimes I'm confused that myself as well.
I think I will have to stop reading Modification forum on NAM for a while.
The more I read, the more I'm distracted from my original goal.

Maybe it's not the time yet. My fund will not arrive in time to get it.

By the time I'm ready, if the head still available, I will definitely get it.
If not, I might consider get the JCW brake kit instead.
