[Philsutton]

put in a 2lt 16v an do some work to that, or just fit nitrous to the 1.8.

[babi_bek]

nos sound slike a good idea..

[Philsutton]

You could probably get that engine to almost 100bhp with nitrous on it

lol you sure do love your Nitrous, dont ya sutton!

Have you thought of cams, T40s etc etc... all depends how much money you have.

richi fair play you think my car is a pile of ****.. But then my opinion of yours is not much different. lol

hopefully your outhouse will make it to pv and ill see you mowing the grass while im tearing up the strip :D

Generally you respect modified cars even if you think its c**p as most of them have had a lot of time, effort and money spent on them.

Im sure baby bek could have it on the road, i might just put in the hours and paint it so that you can see what you missed ;) .

L8r :tard:
