Hi everyone,

I own a 2003 Barina SRi that is completely stock standard and am considering modding it and would like to know what everyone thinks worthwhile mods are. I definately would like some opel badges for it, but I am open to opinions on everything, please help,

Thanks alot.

Improved breathing, a K&N panel filter and de-restricted box is always a good start

Opel badges alone add 7.5kW

Is that 7.5 each badge, replace them front and back, wheels all round and the steering wheel and thats a handy extra 50+kw

This should be your modification path (ie. do these in order):

1. Run 95/98 octane fuel in the car
2. De-restrict standard airbox
3. '2 exhaust from the cat back
4. Performance air filter (either pod or panel, doesn't matter) with a sealed cold air intake.
5. Extractors
5. Chip

Beyond this your better off putting your money into forced induction.
