Sweet!
After the recent debacle I've been very much thinking 1242'ing the Sei and 1108'ing the 126 is the way forward
if its possible, 1242 low boost turbo the 126
, or to retain its italian temperament, go hi boost
and for speed and reliability 1.4 16v for the sei
that's be a couple of little cars that would scare the hell out of supposedly faster cars
i forgot just how much fun that is, was out in the cinq today, overtook some clio doing 30 in a 70, a lowered and spoilered toyota celica came tearing up behind me, lights flashing to get out his road, he must have been doing about 120 coming off the slip road!, just to annoy him, rather than pulling in to let him passed, i just dropped a gear and floored it and looked in the mirror, celicas nose dived, and he floored it too, the noise both the cars was making was biblical!!!!!
even better was the look on his face when he realsied the cinq was just starting to pull away
makes me wonder what the hell was up with his celica, seeing as mine is nowhere near full health!, he should have been destroying me in a straight line by rights.
of course, the cinq started to run out of puff slightly at about 60mph, and the celica was starting to reel me back in, so i pulled back into the inside lane and eased off to let him through, he'd learnt his lesson that up to 55ish, he was done by a city car!
when he overtook, he slowed down to have a look, gave a thumbs up and floored it again
which was quite a comical moment, it was like he was saying it had him beat..... if only i had the 1.4 16v in.... extra 20bhp or so on what i have now, with a bit of fettling over time, could get it up to about 120bhp i recon
its certainly on the project list anyway, i'd love to see a 126 turbo'd, that "what the hell" moment would be even better in one of those i recon!
