What is Stage 1? It’s mainly defined as the optimising of factory vehicle hardware for more performance. To find out more on Stage 1 figures for your car click here.
After Stage 1 there really isn’t a definition for Stage 2. If you’ve heard it before, it really is just a marketing gimmick to encourage you to buy a group of parts so you can be in the “Stage 2 (or 3)” club – and that’s just not us. (Sorry /Not Sorry!).
So what do I do after Stage 1? In reality you methodically tackle each limiting factor in turn, and that’s different for each car. Decide on your budget or decide on what BHP you’d like to achieve and see what works for you. We’ve probably done, or looked into most builds so we’ll be able to help.
If you have any tuning questions start with out Stage 1 Calculator. Simply select your Car, tell us any additional details in the “Car Details” and tell us how we can help in the “Enquiry” box…what you’d like to achieve, what is the limiting factor, what can I get for my budget etc. Click here to check it out.
