Your question shouldn't be "which should I do, power or prowess" but more "which should I do first?".
A bit of patience, part hunting and being prepared to pick up a spanner to crack the simpler jobs yourself will result in a more modified car than your budget first allows.
I really love your original Up!, it looked amazing.

To pick up a spanner, I'd need a spanner :sad1:
May invest in tools, no idea where even to begin with the mechanics of a car though haha!
Thanks as well, I do miss my little Up! I did a good job with her IMO :P

Halfords 150 piece socket set is the best place to start in terms of tool collection. Also get yourself a Haynes manual, it's a bible! That's where I started out, plus using online guides to help where the manuals fell short. No-one was born knowing how to do things to their cars.
I love Up!'s, especially dropped ones. They're under-rated as VW's in the show world go.

Start with a stage 1 map, it will transform your Eddy, once youve gotten used it to and if you require more power......then add more.
Some handling mods are always good, not only help with the aforementioned handling but with Coils or even speings will give you a nice stance.
Happy modding.
:happy2:

I agree the Halfords Professional Tools are OK for the DIY Mechanic and come with a lifetime warranty... break it, waltz in there and they replace it no questions, win.
It's nice to know a bit, if only not to get fleeced when you go to a garage; but if you find a decent Indy that won't happen.
Start with the Brakes on an Eddy imo; R32 / Golf R then get it mapped at a decent tuner who will check the cam follower as part of the process.

I bought a mk2f Polo to start messing around with back in March, then annoyingly lost my job and couldn't purchase the Haynes manual and tools I had already planned haha, so also sold the car! I may as well get the Halfords set, its not too dear and I suppose it'll be worth it in the end.. Nothing wrong with getting down & dirty :ashamed:
My little Up! only managed one show: cumbriavag.. My so-called friend opened my drivers door into a moving car and completely wrecked it. Needed a new door and a wing, too.. He said he'd come up with the cash after two months of failing to source a door.. Then said he wasn't paying a penny at all! So I sold up, as the gearbox wasn't too friendly either :innocent:
