i agree with chris, rushing power when your young is a bad decision, you will always crave more and at some point (earlier int his case) you wont be able to get it and you will get bored

plus the fact speeding fines, money issues in both running costs and actually paying for the extra power


im often reminding myself not to get more power atm as its plenty for me, having more will only bring more issues



if i were you, wait a bit longer, say own it atleast a year first?

There is no chance me stripping it out I hate having no interor my mk3 didn't and I hated it, plus with no weight in the back this car would be a nightmare lol

Na gonna go for a carbon wrap bonnet.
Just gonna mod this till I can afford rwd/boost/vtec ideally a s14 or s2000 but they still hold there value

Been umming and ahhing about a possible top end rebuild. At the moment its got a sticky lifter or something similar and sounds quite rough so was thinking about a top end rebuild with porting and polishing. Would also tie in with future plans

alot of money considering your in two minds of selling it every few weeks:(


why not just replace the tappets instead?

Because a mate is a Ford technician so can do it on the hobble just gotta get him the parts, I wanna revamp the head have it all brand new and ported and polished for future plans I have.

in that case sounds good, full on rebuild? valves, springs the lot?

are you not tempted to go for new bottom end bearings, bolts and piston rings too?

I know the bottom end is fine, not too sure to what extent I'm gonna go to depends on what is still useable etc

I'm staying quiet about future plans, first I need exhaust and breathing mods first.

its very odd that in most cases, restrictions boost torque, like decats lower torque

haha sorry but ill have to pass on your advice (if it weas advice)

you jap boys need speeches like that to back up your graph results, mine said matching bhp/torque and most fords are healthy on torque, most focus St's make tons more lbs than bhp

even playing forza i dont like my cars fall short on lbs when im tuning the engines ( sad reference i know )


kris personally id not bother with P+P id just get a 4 branch and if theres money left a pair of cams

Only problem with cams is that there not mass produced for this engine so are 600+
