true but then you can fit a nitrous system to any car depending on the engine size. 75bhp boosts are the absolute max before one has to start uprating the entire drive system

NOS usa do a 500 bhp booster, a snip at £10,000 not including fitting!

chill!:D

Well Greg if I ever get me head round buying your angel for my second gun then it would be an extra little bundle of cash for ya. By the way, does £350 sound good, or can I get you any lower.:D It doesn't help matters that I am now being butt f~#ked by the government into paying a lot of tax, EVEN THOUGH I AM A BLOODY STUDENT!!! God I hate labour.:mad: :mad: :mad: I am now getting lees money per week on a higher hourly rate than I was last year.:mad: :mad: And I also have a £290 paintball debt with my sister.:D

keep dreaming....

I would not suggest a prosche to anyone over six feet in height. They are really quite cramped inside.

The last time anyone was silly enough to let me drive one (Porsche dealer did back when I was earning lots) I was stunned at how small they were inside. Very nice to drive, but tiny. TVRs are much better for your taller driver.

Funny greg should talk about NOS injectors... was going to put an Uno turbo lump with the 50 bhp set into my old Panda 4x4 a few years ago (when I wasn't playing paintball and had spare money) just to freak people out. Now all my spare cash goes on keeping the Golf and the Sylvia on the road.... However, the idea of putting NOS on the Sylvia is very tempting.... Mmmmm topping out at 160mph! Niiiiice.

That reminds me, I really should get my car insured over here.

I once saw a Vauxhal Nova with a Calibra 2.0 litre turbo lump in. I honestly never thought that it would go in, but free use of a cutting torch and an angle grinder proved me wrong. It drove quite well, but I would _not_ have wanted to crash it. You wouldn't have the engine as a passenger, at least, not in the front. It would have sitting somewhere in the boot.

p.s. the Golf has never got me laid.... But my Panda 4x4 did!

I'd have to get my engine rebuilt before I touch NOS or an aftermarket turbo(I'm stuck with a non-turbo right now). After that, I'd hopefully have the compression ratio down enough to (safely) run nitrous and about 15 pounds of boost. It's funny when you realize the similarities between upgrading makers and cars. Some people go for speed, some for style, some prefer the understated look, others are fond of the downright gaudy, and we all spend unreal amounts of money on our hobby.
