Is there anyone with a modded/Standard valver that is happy with their 1.8 16v lump? Because i seem to be the only one! I actually quite enjoy ragging it to keep the revs up and that 4k kick!
Im asking this because when anyone seems to mention modding the 1.8 they say to get a 2.0 or GTT conv...
As Matts just said - the 16v can be modded to your own taste where as its a crime to change a willy. Do what you want to it to the standard you want!
It looks mint at the mo though so id just leave it mate and mod the engine!
Im lookin at the possability of a new car at the moment and the one i have my eye on i think would look nice with leather. What kinda price region would i be looking at to get a phase 2 valver interior re-trimmed to say cream and blue leather?
Also is there anywhere that is good that anyone...
I bought a new alpine headunit the other day which is 4x60. Ive run it off the existing headunit power cable with the inline fuse supplied.
It booms all my speakers out no probs which are all aftermarker numbers and it is crystal clear so i take it that its being powered fine.
Are you sure you aint gettin the oil level and temperature gauges confused?
Oil level is far left and should indicate the level then drop after 30 secs.
Temp is the middle gauge.
As above really. Seemed quite cheap so i just bought one for £135.

I had my valver when i hadnt been driving a year and havent crashed it. **Runs to touch wood**
But then again my mate who is 20 rights off everycar he gets over a 1.4! Think hes claimed 4 cars now!
Its all down to the driver IMO - Drive like a tw*t and your gunna crash!
A 182 does seem a...
Holden GTS-R!
Theres a guy in the town where i live whos had his supercharged! Shakes the ground as it goes past - 5.7L Power!
Its pushin 600bhp or something totaly stupid like that!
Ha ha! Thats French cars for ya!
Just got to keep lookin mate and youll find a nice un! I only looked at three and found mine though!
Why you gettin rid of ya R5? Specs?
i would never say a 1.6 can keep up with a valver!!! ur like 130bhp! and were 110 not to mention weight difference...dont know any 1.6ers who have said this either...
Hmm some of your 1.6 companions think they can.Theyve posted it in here too at the start and the end of the thread:-...
Cheers Guys
Makes and interesting read! Its just every 1.6 16v ive come across ive left for dead (Sorry 1.6 boys no offence meant!) but they all seem to argue they can keep with valvers.
But that works out that a valver has about 30bhp per tonne more which is alot i think well all agree!
