this kit looks wicked, 300bhp from a 1.6 sounds good to me, no handling worries due to lighter 1.6 but big power as well! but would this be suitable for an eveyday car, obviosly u wouldnt wana run 300bhp on the road, well...... not all the time :twisted: but surely u could have one of those in car boost controllers that u see on RS turbos and GT turbos, so that u could keep it at say 200bhp or sumthin for eveyday use, and only up the boost to overtake, piss off imprezas, or on the quarter mile........??

I think it would handle like a wheelbarrow.
the mods to keep 300 hp on the road on front wheel drive would cost as much as a subaru, and as for lower weight in a 1.6,,,,,,,,,,,,the lump is the ecotec16v + a turbo + intercooler + probably water injection.

I think it would make a fine show car
