I realised that there’s quite a lot of “common upgrades” which might be worth going through and assembling into a list for reference. Perhaps you’re thinking of doing a particular mod and perhaps this will give you an idea of how difficult it is, how expensive it is, and whether I think it’s worth doing overall.
I’ll just make a list below to begin with and then fill in the content for each mod as its own page as I get time. Leave a like or a comment if you like this idea or if there’s a mod I’ve forgotten or you think should be covered. You can sign in to comment if you have a wordpress.com account or email address.
Please bear in mind this just my *opinion* on each mod, YMMV. Nobody’s paying me to say nice things about their products so if i say I like it it’s because I like it.
