Was plannin going the turbo route not this crimbo but next september time.

The pistons im lookin at give a 8.4:1 compression ratio.. , hardly good if i were goin for N/A tuning. replacement cams , (PON cams if i come into a small fortune lol) 3.5kg flywheel , probably the ACT clutch if the others either aint as good or cost alot more

Will all depend what figures they'd be putting out. If it aint gonna be finacially worth it , N/A & high comp pistons will be a better approach

Plenty more things that need to be planned before choosing mind
 
I think insurance may actually be less for the swap than a normal out and out GTi! Also with the 1.4, u might not get as much weight with it.

A swap would certainly involve up-rated brakes on front and back. Even with my sri i plan on doing the brakes when i get round to the gti or gti-r swap in a few months
 
The idea's to get discs & calipers all round that are designed to cope with about 300bhp. Im hoping the insurance will see that as a good omen.

Ofcourse if it turns out to be to much work , getting a GA16DE in & turboing that would be just as good. Could still easily hit me target 200 (Inc Nitrous Oxide), although it seems finding re-inforced parts is proving to be a challenge. Only found Pistons so far
 
not entirely chuffed with the way this has come out , since ive lost the leather texture effect on a 1 inch squared area in one of the clock surrounds corners. Part from that , its come out alright i guess :)

With those colors in the dash u must be a girl? ;)

Im getting over 200bhp by just doing 0.35bar boost on the standard SR20DE engine.
 
I aint ;)

Got Pink neons aswell though :eek:

Although could probably squeeze more BHP out of a tuned turbo GA16DE , dont really want to though to be honest , 200 (or about 140 without N20) will be fast enough
 
Some how its a manly pink car :cool: a well the inside don't look that bright its the flash on the camra.
 
wahey, ya finally registerd then lol , was waitin for ya to do that. Oh well welcome i guess :D see ya in an hour :rolleyes:
 
Been a good few months since it was last properly washed etc so I felt the need to stop in the local asda on the way back to take some piccys :D. Car aint changed much since the last pics , just a few things like clear front & side repeaters , phase 2 rear lights & a white front grill.

Its been sold aswell.... leaving me whenever the new car arrives. £700 aswell :eek: .

Will Have some more pics from the same location following Sunday , the pink neons are finally going on after 6 month in the garage
