Insurance was with most mods declared (most bits didn't matter) but tpft. 25, 5 years ncb, clean licence, garage...in Manchester...

I never said I got anywhere near 200bhp btw.

Me and a mate with a supercharged ITR started adding up, I stopped at £6k on parts (excluding car/insurance/maintenance)...he stopped at £25k!!

 

[sri_alan]

I never said I got anywhere near 200bhp btw.

Sorry what I meant was, your being realistic and obviously know your stuff, whereas guys up here have their head in the clouds. One admin of a local tuning site claimed that a VTi makes 175 with a "zorst system and filter". Havent been back on that site.

 

[B16EG6]

I know what you mean mate

Bragging rights doesn't mean much to me, I've done trackdays in a stock car and the grin is still there

In the interests of fairness, Almera:

Tax £110
Service/clutch/mot £200 (inc sill weld for MOT)
Tyre fittin £5 (tyre free off lad on Honda Revs)

bloody hell darren! your car must be like the starship enterprise inside

LOL have you seen pics of it? Its not quite that bad, reminds me of a sat nav display at halfords though

 

[GTi kurt]

I know a lad with a EG6, he wants a manifold full system and a AEM. And reckons it will be 190hp. I said "you wish".

@ B16EG6, Would a ITR gearbox on a EG6, make a big difference.?

 

[NaylorGTS]

Catback £650
Manifold £250
AEM £220
Cams/gears/springs/retainers £400
Unichip £350
itr inlet
-Oh, that may help the people who think it's easy to get a VTi to 200bhp

whats the AEM for? A fuel rail/pressure reg? what cams you got? itr too? a lot of people say its not worth changing the inlet, or the fuel rail

the cams,gears and retainers are supposed to be a good mod though

Sorry what I meant was, your being realistic and obviously know your stuff, whereas guys up here have their head in the clouds. One admin of a local tuning site claimed that a VTi makes 175 with a "zorst system and filter". Havent been back on that site.

depends, if its a full system(manifold back), and a decent one, plus the filter it wont be far off

a spoon n1 backnox and dc sports header on a mates ek9 gave him an extra 9bhp(waiting on the decat and middle section from spoon still), and thats on a B16 thats already been 'tuned' by honda to from 160 to 187
