Turbo?

not yet mabey next year wanna do engine rebuild before that as its 120k on it now!

full exaust system de-cat!
weitec coilovers
to start with

tt comps for wheels in same colour as car orr polished
Schrick inlet manifold for extra tq!


De cat will gain you very little plus it is needed for mot, schrick inlet manifold is a worthwhile mod but very expensive, why not pick up a ABA (corrado) 2.9 engine, check it over and fit new chains then drop that in, worth it for the extra torque, it will run ok on your 2.8 ecu but get it remapped.

Well yours is going to need the chains soon @ 120k and the engine will need to come out anyway so it is worth thinking about.

Save up for the re - map mate, deff worth it. Mines been re-mapped at AmD and it's on a different level compared to standard. Would recommend  :smiley:

Was done ages ago mate before i owned it - car came up from Cirencester (spelling?).

Theres a place near Leister that does them, I'll find the link for you tomorrow but should be looking around £250 for a stage 1 which is what mines got. I've got a rolling road print out in the file for 196bhp not long after it was done.  :smiley:

No mate standard apart from K+N induction. Standard exhaust though. If your thinking of remaps i would personally fit an induction intake, corrado 2.9 inlet manifold and throttle body, and a decent exhaust system first - also a 6 branch mani. I rekon you'd be pushing out the horses after that and prob cheaper than buying a shrick.

As standard you will notice a difference with a remap even as much as the drive will be so much smoother etc.  :smiley:

The skies the limit mate, just depends on the dollar.
