I've not really got a lot left I'd like to do to it. Getting 600bhp would be nice, but I'd need new cams which I've not got a clue about and will make it even worse to drive on the roads. I dunno. Just been thinking about it lately.

Cav turbo with silly TXB and 600bhp would be a weapon tbh.

Fq3 something evo in work this morning. Yeah that's top of the list for definite now. Need to investigate imprezas but I'm just not as keen on them.

The Evo doesn't seem that differen't to the corsa, 4 clyinder turbo, just is 4wd, I know it will handle 100
times better, get off the mark quicker etc but just thought in terms of you tuning it, it might seem like you did it all before.

I'm probably wrong, but just seems like it's very similar based on the powerplant.

I know of an interesting project that is available. Datsun 160J with Nissan S13 floor pan/running gear. It currently has a C18DET which isn't too popular but would make an amazing base. The mating of the S13 chassis to the body shell is near undetectable.

Work in progress

Just like how a ferrari f40 is no different to a saxo furio. Both have 4 wheels and brake pads.

I think you have problems reading, said only in terms of Nic doing work on the engine and didn't say anything about how it drove.

Sorry, I read this though and that was enough.

Nic and others have to spend thousands on huge turbos, stand alone management, forged internals, fueling upgrades, etc. etc. etc. to get anywhere near 400bhp. Mitsubishi rolled one off the production line with 400bhp. Not being funny mate, just stating. Nic will understand.

Yeah I see what you mean there, get a lot of car with a lot of power out of the box so to speak, no hassle.

I think you was just protecting your baby
