Cup, in standard form the wrx is very strangled (3 cats for instance compared to 1!) but take some of these out of the equasion and add a sports exhaust and it can be pushing 270bhp without too many problems (would suggest a remapped ecu though). The STI is a beast of a car (have driven one...

The GTT lump is VERY unreliable, even in standard form they were in and out of the garages more often than any other renault of its time (and thats saying something!). The Ultra reliable ones with serious bhp (are not actually that reliable) have had 10s of thousands thrown at them to get them...

Oh good idea not telling your insurance co that you have modified your car.... you may as well not have insurance.... oh look, you dont as you havnt declared your modifications..... Find someone who will cover your mods come renewal time, there are lots of companies out there which speciallise...

Hardcore, yup i see what your getting at but the good sign of a modified motor is that it can be run day to day without problems occuring. Now if your car is having problems that a normal saxo wouldnt have, then you have either pushed the modifications too far or you havnt done enough on the...

Lee, why is double clutching going to weld your clutch together???? All you are doing is going from a higher gear into neutral, reving the engine so that the gears are running the same speed then downing, you have only used the clutch to go to neutral so its not like your putting any strain on...
