A manifold from a reputable trader and no crap off ebay as it will crack. A plug and play ecu like blitz, jam etc. Theres a blitz access in the for sale section at the mo ;)

as said earlier id go for handling mods over improving the bhp first!
handling and breaks on GT's and Glanza's can be greatly improved,
this means you will actually benefit from the power the car actually has to start with.
then id do small steps to increase your bhp.

best cheap mod id recommend for anyone is an anti-lift kit!
stops wasted power! doesnt increase anything except the weight of the car by fuck all
but allows you to put more of the power onto the road without losing it!

first five couldnt say because id did loads all at once but id start by improving the use of the power you have before trying to add to it.

First thing to do for more power is get your engine to breathe better... so exhaust and intake

With more power, you'd need better ways to stop the car... so new brake pads the least. New set of tyres as well.

With more acceleration and braking force, you need more stability with the car... uprated springs/shocks, braces and rear anti roll bar.

With car handling much better than before, you'd want more... and the whole process repeats, but with much more expensive parts. :p

To a degree yes, they are already mapped for a sepcific setup, generally says on the sticker what it's mapped for, ct9, td04 etc. They can adjust themself if you change exhaust or air filter without having to get a remap like dastecs, emanage etc.

first thing i would before modding anything is a complete full service and a good clean of all the parts this will give you a good base to start with and should notice a good difference, after that i would get any small jobs done like bushings or that replaced that are worn and get the car back to the way it should be

when you have the car running 100% then i would think about doing the mods, most will pile on the parts and then get problems and its hard to tell if its the new parts or was it always there. a good clean base to work with save alot of time and money so thats what would be my first mods anyway

after that then i would go with the basics of tuning, plenty of threads here on the subject very good info all in the helpfull section
