you ever going for a different engine at all? 1.4 would make a massive increase in power for you
True, but here theyre not so common. I could only find one in a Fiat Idea, mine for €500. When I save up ill snap it up :yum:
i would come out of of that tunnel giggling like a girl, heaven!!...
you are a lucky boy
i bet that 1.2 gives a lot of 1.2's a run for their money
another thing, get that thing remapped and of course a nice ported inlet and exhaust ports
It frightens people I overtake
I took on a golf tdi, a 110bhp example and I left it eating my dust, take that tdi brigade :slayer: remapping is off the cards for a while, I'm looking into getting my own software to reading/writing the flash. Ultimately on the cards is an ms2 :devil:
I drove a 1.2 petrol car the other day, not driven a car so slow for ages was proper crazy, (no offence intended) took me back to my standard cinq days. Gotta say though i miss having the ability to drive everywhere flat-out, you just can't do that with more powerful engines. And I'm SSSOOOooooo jealous you have that tunnel near you, i want one
Very true, I drove a corsa 1.2 home a few months ago to cut up, it holds th record of being the most gutless piece of rubbish ive ever driven :yuck: even my old Sei was miles quicker, 0.9 litre too!!!
The tunnel is approx 10 miles away
must take it to the port tunnel and record it... :worship:
its a weird thing ive drove these and they have been quick and some have been mega slow. it depends on whats been done
.
im sure this will be well quicker than a standard 1.2 :-0
Ironic you should mention that, when we got my mums Bravo, it had a problem with the ecu plugs so it had approx 40bhp at times and uncontrollable revving (the accelerator jammed open on the motorway on me
) we got to the bottom of it and just a week later, a combine ran me off the road into a watercut
my dads Bravo was awful slow when he got it and about 6 months into ownership, the engine blew up surprise surprise
we installed a "new" engine and ever since its a totally different car
it just depends on how well theyre minded... My car on the other hand will eat anything below a 1.6 that isnt turboed and out handles almost everything else, its a "little" bit quicker than a standard 1.2
No updates I'm afraid, college has me buried....
....Since when did that stop progress with this car though? This to be fitted tomorow night
at long last, the Abarth bumper has me driven mad at this stage!!!
Stay tuned! :yum:
