Yeah, the most powerful car I've ever driven was a 280bhp toyota soarer, it's been a few months since then but I honestly can't see it being any faster than the golf on twisties. The soarer was certainly no slouch either, it could handle - double wishbones all round and not that heavy either at 1.5tonnes - so that's saying something :smiley:

yeah the silvia has a double wishbones and stuff, but yet again its not quite running properly right now, it missfires slightly when you turn the boost up to 0.7bar and floor it, turn it back to low which is 0.4bar and it runs fine, my boyfriend already just had the engine rebuilt as he booted it up hill the boost went silly and boosted up to 1.5bar sending him flying up the hill quicker than a bullet out of a gun and melted his piston  :shocked:



He was wondering if the engine is trying to detonate again?? or if his fuel pump is not pumping enough fuel in hence the missfire??? he wanted to get 555 injectors... anyone any ideas??

Ah, well even then they ain't too much work, going to be more simple than a bleeding jap engine, now they are a real pain in the spaz hole.
