Surely passengers seat or drivers seat if youve been in one before you'd realise its faster than a std one :-?
Tbh who wouldnt try to big up there car if there selling it, i bet 90% of the people on here wouldnt mention certain bits.
EDIT: spelling

Not got the receipt for my remap or a lot of the work since I've had it. I just stick them in the drop-down to file at a later date then end up binning them. Doesn't mean anything.

Bet if you ask him what the engine had in the rebuild he would do a cracking Gareth Gates impression

also hes spent a "fortune" on the engine but doesnt have one of those power cap things?? tht in itself sounds strange to me, hes obviously trying to make it sound like he knows what hes talking about but isnt the air intake really restricted on these engines??? if so this would be one of the first things id have done if it was my car
edit: or any sort of intake mods

I thought the chipped and remapped thing was weird, but you can get remappable chips.

It has an ecotec inlet pipe, same idea as a powercap.
Except using an ecotec pipe you can fit it without having to cut the bulkhead in most cases and it does the same job.

I'm surprised nobodies mentioned it's a 5 door. No offense meant to anyone on here who has a 5 door, but out of that car or one exactly the same but with 3 doors I sure most of you would choose the 3 door any day of the week. The car doesn't really look that special. Granted it's a sleeper but to me it looks a bit to plain.
