Still cant see a turbod 1.2 or 1.4 being anywhere near as good as a real 172/cup or 182. Will only just be quicker than a slighty modded 1.6 surely?
Remember also that the little brakes have to wash off all that speed so do something with them too. Robs look pretty good :)
Not the case for any turbo cars ive been in mate. The evo 2 was fine under the turbo at 60 but once the turbo was going round more at say 90 the fuel almost leaked out. It would never do say Leeds>London on 1 tank doing speeds close to a ton
fair dos but youre still never convince me its worth the time and the money when theres cars with that power as standard and just as cheap to insure!
A turbos never gonna give the little engine any decent amount of torque either. Not really anything compared the bigger CC.
A 1.2 wouldnt get a good MPG if you start sticking loads of mods and a turbo. Surely not? I can get pretty good mpg from the cup when pushing. Try owning a evo 2! Single figures is possible :)
Also is the 1.2 Gearbox up to the job of putting the 130 onto the road??? What about the brakes and...
Chris,
My cup didnt feel a lot quicker than my VTR when I first got it :obut as the miles are going on its getting quicker and quicker. Been in Frostys with over 9k on and feck me it shifts!!!:devilish: Also it still suffers when its more than 1 up like any small hatch so that might be why...
Yeah Rich stay around. You would wanna miss all these interesting VTS Vs **** stories would ya.
Any idea what the next motors gonna be?
Got a nice Lancer Evo IV going cheap. Still though you cant beat a little hatch can you!
Not really stream roller as you put it. The cup is better at silly speeds but off a set of lights in a 30 zone there wouldnt be alot in it.
Dam quick little cars them hot Saxos and 106s. Always wish Id bought one instead of my VTR.
Nothing wrong with Micras! Cousins one has done K reg has done 180,000, has never gone wrong and starts on the button after 1 month of sitting still. How much french cars can claim that.
Plus the new micra isnt tiny! Nikki at work has one and it looks massive next to the cup.
