Is it wrong?....

[papperbear]

yes and no .. I like the way he's transformed his car to the way he wanted it but it's also nice to retain some of the features that make the car different, ie original components.

must be running some serious boost from that little K04 to get that kind of power... cant be a reliable setup surely?

dnno, hes running the same BHP as richgit and hes had no problems, However he does have a switch that turns his car from 300BHP down to 150  but from what i understand 300BHP should be fine.

it'll make that kind of power alright, and the engine is well up to the task... but the turbo just isn't (not for very long anyway) ask anyone who's ever removed a little borg warner kkk turbo from a remapped engine... full of hairline cracks ! absolutely crapped myself when i saw my old one. You want a reliable 300bhp+ from a 1.8T .. you go hybrid/roller bearing .. dammit there i go giving myself ideas again

Definitely a tricky one, yeah they are quite rare but then how boring would it be if everyone kept them standard?

I spoke to the guy that owns this

for quite a while at the last Action. He is keeping it absolutely standard and is real concours spec. I think it's great that there are people that do that but it's not for me. Why have 160bhp when you can reliably have well over 200! Small 15" wheels in those big arches?!

G60 lumps are getting a bit long in the tooth now i think, and if it is a high miler then it is just as practical to get an engine conversion

one thing i wouldnt do is change the colour. id have kept it the std colour
