In the near future I will be looking to improve the performance of my '57 mcs. Besides the things such as a remap, miltek downpipe + exhaust, better air filter etc, is there much improvement to be gained from other options?

Eg, larger intercooler, samco hose kit and anything else anyone has experience of?

On the handling side do things such as Eibach anti roll bars, stronger bushes etc make much difference to a car that will only be used on the road?

Thanks in anticipation........

intercooler will certainly help. Forge do a bigger intercooler for the R56. im not too sure on the samco hose kits, i think you would notice more of a difference if you were tracking it.

another think to upgrade is your sparkplugs - iridium NGKs seem to be everyones favorite round here.

anti roll bars will make a bit of a difference on country road driving. but imo i would just stick to upper/lower & rear strut braces.

Forge intercooler

Samco hose set to remove the restricting valves. Have a word with 1320/lohen and they'll sort you out :D
