I took an apprentice out in a fiat coupe 20v turbo, and by the time I hit 140mph he was pressing the imaginary brake and reaching for the Jesus handle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yup flat out at around 165+ Early summer morning on a bypass with no junctions,, tbh it felt like I could sqeeze a wee bit more from it. Managed 175 on a bike once,, that was nice 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I had a corsa with a 2.0 ltr engine in it....and the old man took it off me for a diesel after he took it on a test drive after my uncle selling it as a 1.2ltr which was on the log book A mates brother had a banger of a 1.0ltr micra...spent his spare time in work (mechanic) doing it up.....but never touched the outside..... Sat at the lights next to a car full of birds and a cool as fcuk guy driver in his golf.... and micheal put his foot down and left the cnut for dead Said he had great fun letting a modded 1.2 corsa pull out to overtake him and giving them the finger whilst dropping a gear. Think he only put a 1.6 engine in it.... but you could practically lift the thing up yourself Ive always had a soft spot for a starlet glanza v turbo..... but ended up getting an estate...again!

RossM 7,979 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Mate put a porche engine in a vw beetle (older one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanS 3 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I used to have a Toyota MR2 Mk1 but sold that and now I drive a Subaru Impreza Turbo wagon with a few tweeks so putting out 220BHP and it's killing me fuel wise 18mpg. Also not the best with ground clearance getting up some farm tracks for shooting. So time to put in in PX for a 4x4 I think. Edited April 14, 2013 by IanS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The most modded was an orange mk1 golf gl with a mk3 gti lump in it, full kit stripped roll cage buckets 18" rh split rims the lot, was worth more in parts tbh. never get your money back on them and i always have dubs so i just keep the original wheels and stick some decent alloys on now and swap back when i flog them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
