Specs?

specs/stats plaz.

Garret GT17 Turbo @6psi

Cituning manifold & downpipe
Front mounted intercooler
496cc Pico injectors
Innovate LC-1 wideband
Predator standalone ecu

Stock internals however hence why its running a safe'ish 6psi, Wossner forged lowcomps (9:1) pistons & PEC forged rods will be fitted hopefully in the new year finance's allowing, currently its running a 'realistic' 169.4bhp|161.9lb/ft torque @5216rpms which may not sound a lot but is a hand full and torque steer is really evident acclerating round corners.

Here's the graph if anyones intrested:-

<Has unholy thoughts regarding his stock VTR>

Boosting a VTR is imho not as fruitful as boosting a VTS, never the less I dont regret turboing mine at all and would recomend adding this upgrade...

Is that the going rate for them these days? I had a double-cupped 182 down in my head as being ~£1500 more than that!

Hmm...

I've seen them ranging from around £4500 - £6500. Of course this is down to mileage etc etc. Mine needs new tryes all round soon, and the tax and MOT are up in July so I think that's why I got it a little cheaper.

Its being machine polished in the coming weeking ready for Rockingham speedway so will some better then, it is a handful and you need to be paying attention when driving vigorously

1.6 litres of pure power, comes with plastic wheel trims & a fabric interior, air-con is provided by way of winding up/down the windows.

They really put a 1.6 litre engine in that? It's the size of a tank!!!

And load it up with a family, I bet you get the fuel economy of a V8!

They certainly do, 1.6i 16v petrol (they also do a 1.6 diesel), it averages around 37mpg fully laden.

I refuse to drive it unless absolutely necessary but she loves it. The plus side is that I can buy my own car, a car which I don't need to worry about putting car seats or pushchairs in so the only restriction is price.

DJDaz · 6 May 2010 at 12:44

my current car

a mahoosive 1.4 16v with a door that doesn't open

Not sure if this was aimed at me but I'll answer anyway.

Yes it was lol.

Hopefully going to be buying my girlfriend's dad's 182 with both cup packs. It's 5 years old and done just under 29,000 and is in fab nick. It hasn't been driven since January so I had to start it last night, battery was flat as a pancake. Queue an overnight charge and all was fine!

Shadowness · 6 May 2010 at 22:23

Nice motor Scary! Mine looks almost identical, but not quite as high as its on coilovers

Any plans for it yet?

A few plans. I need to get brand new Michelin's all round within the next 2 months. I also want to get a Milltek cat-back exhaust, Eibach Sportlines and possibly some Speedline Tuniris. Although the standard cup alloys have grown on me a lot

What do you have done to yours?

ScarySquirrel said:

lol....well....it doesnt really look standard anymore inside!

The above picture is a bit out of date, doorcards have now come out, and the radio etc

Things you can't see:
AST suspension, set-up for track
RSTuner remap
More stuff I cant remember!

and a yozzasport exhaust is on the way

ScarySquirrel · 7 May 2010 at 09:54

Blimey! Is that your daily driver or just a track car?

Shadowness · 7 May 2010 at 11:17

Both, I dont use it everyday, but still quite a lot. I regularly drive to Heathrow in it

It is a bit noisy inside, hence why I've taken the radio out, as you can't hear it about 50mph!! oh...and the suspension is a bit firm too!
