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.
