Plans for mine - nuffink. Job done and saving towards holidays now.

Maybe get a set of Monza Shadows at some point if I find a bargain, just so they can go back on when I sell the car again.
And I like the idea of Xenons still, but not the cost (don't use the car very often so would never get value for money from the conversion). I'm keeping an eye on Doc's conversion with interest and possible intent. Black R ones for me please Matron.

So, as I don't have any modification plans I guess I'll just keep posting up more irrelevant rubbish instead. I might turn into Egbert/Crabster/R32. and attempt to sell pointless Nissans to the masses......!!!!

Get a rolling test done to see its BHP and Torque difference with B Fin..... any good scottish (glasgow ish) people know where..


I used Falkland Performance Centre, Falkland http://www.falkland.co.uk/

The guy who organised my run there had previously been a customer of the Dasteq Rolling Road wherever it is. His results were within 5 bhp of each other on a 200bhp car between Falkland and Dasteq.

Hope this helps,


And just to keep this on topic I'll post my mods.

Stage 1 map
17 Monza Black
GTI Seat Lever Inserts
Red Lined Carpets
Red GTI Badges (exterior)
