 DeXx.'s recommendation | |
Now cheap as chips to buy, and get loads of extra BHP just by improving the breathing of the engine. I got an extra 15bhp just by adding a Full stainless system, K&N and FSE valve (rolling road proven, not false claim).
The usual problems of rust will probably be the end of the car. Replacement panels are cheap enough tho.
A fun little car to drive, which is fun to chuck around the twisty roads. Dont expect to beat many cars in it tho in standard form. Needs a couple of extra BHP to keep up with modern day equivalents. With the mods i had plus cam, head work, performance manifold and tailored chip to mods, might see around 150bhp.
