Tuning turbo time!

[Munkul]

also... with careful tuning... what other engine can do 300bhp and still give 30mpg average?

I miss driving my s14 sooo much... its been parked on the lift for the last week or two avoiding the salt and slushy roads maybe thats why i feel the need to spout about them on a cinq thread...

Looks a well sorted motor, but wanting to do one as a project. Shell is already stripped and is in bodyshop getting prepped for a respray. By the way, does anyone know where to get the windows tinted (I live in Doncaster).
Cheers

Yellow Pages will come up with someone local. But I'd not do it. The very last thing you need in a car as nervous as a turbo Cinq is reduced visibility.

Perhaps the best worst thing that can happen is you get pulled by the Police who demand you remove it before they'll let you drive on. And if your insurance isn't spot on, you may find yourself in deep poo poo.

The worst worst thing I'll leave to your imagination.

My guess is that the lack of people doing it is a result of both fashion and Police activity.

How do you know he's on about the fronts? It's perfectly legal to tint to any level rear of the C-Pillar, adn who want's to see behind them anyway lol. Can't stop someone going into the back of you.

Back on topic, I'm also watching craig....good luck with the sale

ANDn who want's to see behind them anyway lol.

Sounds like a Prost/Senna argument....................

I am! plus its a great thing to show employers of jobs (well engineering or transport related jobs anyway lol)

problem is.... they want to do it start of next year.

I wont have insurance

 

[fingers99]

Putting it on a policy for a week won't cost much, or, maybe, insure for a day (Google)?

But do do it. In the meantime, in between time, write down amusing incidents, as much of the build history as you can, catalogue your pictures with comments, pop them on a CD, etc.

Superstardom is just round the corner!

 

[blu73]

that or arrange for the photoshoot to be somewhere not on public roads & just trailer it there... Although i agree that a week won't cost to much - but you'll have to srt something with tax as you can't have an uninsured car taxed now..

 

[fingers99]

Just a thought -- know anyone with trade plates? Would maybe be a nice day out for them.
