any modern car that has an option of "viper stripes" as standard is fail, unless it's a viper

personally I think people should wait till you can afford something that warrants playing with the performance.

Personally I think people who judge others on what they earn or what they can afford are not worth the time of day.

The only reason a 'induction kit' should be added to a car is if a air box cannot fit, e.g due to an engine transplant. Sound horrible, cause heat soak genarlly imo crap for most cars.

A bigger inlet pipe and on some air boxes de-restrictive mods and can see a few bhp added but I wouldn't say noticeable.

I have an open cone filter and it made 330bhp on two different dynos. The only time its really going to suffer from heat soak is when you are sitting still in traffic.

matts golf is a mk3, you could pick up a 2.0 16v gti for like £2k

seems reasonable to me.

try £950. it owes me a touch over £2k. it goes well enough for a cheap fun car, hardly ever goes wrong. the other night i was out with a guy who had a 220bhp mk4 golf, in a simple straight line test it matched the mk4, so it has a reasonable amount of pace. it is sprisingly economical too. i think this is the longest ive owned a car

i could never sink so much money into something like a fiesta.
