Look like TT Comps mate :)

VR6's are nicer than the 2.0 8v for sure but couldn't justify the fuel bill for now! lol

New exhaust or coilovers and powerflex bushes... not sure which yet!

The downpipe heatshield is rattling and can't be fixed so replace the whole lot...

or...

The standard suspension is quite boat like (handles well, just leans an AWFUL lot!) so would buy Weitec coilovers...
