See I've got this mate and he is the most annoying show off known. And recently just to top it off is now better off on the speed front with his new corsa vxr! As you can understand my goal is now to make my grande t jet quicker than his but 1 problem...am clueless on the mechanical and modding side! This is where an hoping someone could help with advising me or providing some sort of "shopping list" which would get me started and on track to wiping that smug look off his face at the lights...help!
 
Has the VXR not got close to 200BHP?

Could be very expensive to get there :O ... I'm not too clued up on these things either but I think once you get near that kind of power a new gearbox/clutch is required :O
 
It's the 189bhp and it's standard. I wish I could sell and buy quicker but made the mistake if 5 year finance which is less than a year old :( crashing into his would hurt mine so nooo lol!

No track racing just when we're out and about really so more acceleration than top end. Does sound expensive but if you knew the guy the look on his face as he sees the blue of my t jet leave him would be priceless :)

It may be priceless, but I hope you're rich because getting more than 190bhp out of a T-Jet will cost you a few k.
 
Buy an Mjet lol. Mjets rape them.

Abarth turbo, full turbo back exhaust, intercooler, air filter, remap and it will beat him. But then as soon as he spends any money on his you will lose again.

Who cares really whos car is faster though, you bought it for your reasons, he bought that for his own reasons.

Decent suspension set up, some good tyres and uprated brakes and take him to a track, then settle it lol.
 
Fair point about the roads. Always wanted to do the track thing just never looked into it properly and didn't fancy getting shown up by all the modded up cars lol!

See what your sayin bout spending a lot of money and yea truth be told I never expected to have to spend that much. D light did I see on one of your posts you had a abarth turbo? Where do you look cause my general google and eBay search come back with nothing :( thanks for the list on the exhaust etc too :)
 
Just remember you beat him on the style stakes every time! (y)
Grande Punto = Classy design. Vauxhall Corsa = Ugly and feels like it’s been cheaply put together in China.
My best mate has the VXR and its just :yuck:
 
Vance, thats the same in my little town too! Just ignore them and enjoy your car.
 
Corsa vxr's are just tacky imo. All the people I know with them tend to be people who just do laps of town centres, scrimp on tyres and put them through a car wash.

Haha sums him up in one :) i would just like a little extra off acceleration and through third n fourth! Wondering what type of turbos I can upgrade to and where would I find one??
