Yeah, I'm very much of the camp that the best way to make your car faster is to learn how to drive it faster.

Really, what I'm trying to get is a ticklist of potential mods for cars I look at.

Interestingly, the current favourite car has a Larini exhaust and nothing else!

I am sure Autotest would do anything if you put sterling in their hands. Your Punto should be very light. I can't see why you would need anything much more than better pads, braided hoses, vented discs and better fluid.......surely?

Its light, but the brakes a crap and it has 70bhp over stock. Upgrading to 4pot Wilwoods in March.

Also wanna get it weighed to see how light it is. Looking at a Aluminum exhaust to keep the weight down.
