Hello, welcome, don't worry I ask more stupid question than anybody. I had an Mr2 a while back , nice cars but I prefer the VTEC , even compared to the turbo Mr2 I owned.
Good choice on new car.

Firstly thanks all for the welcome. It is in deed an s on a 99 so im guessing thats a good thing

. She is totally standard at present and not sure really how far i want to go with her as mods are concerned. Probably start with breathing and exhaust, any tips on whats best suited? my budget isnt the best as my house seems to swallow money and thats before the gf! Maybe wheels as not a massive fan of the standard alloys, was thinking 17s just to fill the arches abit? thanks all

Welcome

Can always do with more 5g's, you need to change the generation on your profile tho

17's are good, as with the breathing mods. I would check what airbox you have first befor eyou go spending anything, if you got a 99 there's a good chance of having a type s airbox so be careful not to throw it out as it's one of the best intakes for the lude and is worth a few quid

Welcome to LG!!

Like Alex says check if you have the 99+ OEM intake in there as its not worth changing it. Suspension and braking upgrades are the way to go. Anything power wise will generally require a new ECU and remap.

Welcome to the club bud. Pop up some pics bud...

... As this will tell us for sure whether you have a 5th gen, or whether yours is an import and the DVLA screwed up the registration again

...

I'd love for you to have a 4th gen after all those comments
