Granted - its very impressive and theyve made quite a good job of it - i spent quite a while talking to the guy from BB and I get the impression that they know what theyre doing, but a rolling road graph is worth f**k all in the real world.
Yeah it works, but seriously - whats the point?
its never gonna handle under that amount of power, the cars not designed to cope with it. The turbo conversion costs about as much as it does to buy a decent example of the 16v - and it wont hold its value so youll lose everything you throw at it...
It was pointed out that the BB clio had more BHP than the V6, was faster etc etc. But you can take a V6 to a ton, jump on the anchors and itll stop in a straight line, id like to see the turbod 16v do that!!
Ive been thinking alot about mods and their pros and cons, but this is all my personal...
Youll be spinning up in 1st, 2nd and probably 3rd (which some people show off about but aint that impressive) Why do you think that manufacturers rarely make FWD cars with more than 200bhp as standard?
Wow, you can drive really fast in a straight line - woohoo, but youll never be able to corner...

Anyone tried this? Good? Bad?
Im only looking at lowering the car about 30mm, as the standard shocks are pretty solid anyway I was looking at just getting some good quality springs. (I will probably buy new but standard shocks anyway - to be on the safe side)
Comments/suggestions gratefully...
yoz - is that hole album the one with celebrity skin on it? I like that track but dont know much about the band...
That bit at the beginning of Smash is great! Name that tune:
"...Drivers are rude,
such attitude,
but when i show my piece, complaints cease,
somethings odd, feel like im god...
