hey,
not sure if there are many people on here with these but i was just wondering how tunable they are??
what have people had done to them and what power gains did they get and finally what sort of costs they were??
really like these cars so want to find out more about them, also are they reliable?
thanks in advance

i think in standard form they are ok.
But i wudnt like to tune one.Cud u imagine 300-400bhp thru the front wheels.
quite afew stages of tuning available stage one is around £70 with a gtec1 chip and boost controller results upto 270bhp then theres afew with over 400bhp on the 2.0 litre or you could go 2.4 or 2.5 litre. Still in standard form extremely quick
300hp coupe would be lovely to drive, great fun if you can drive properly!
power on the road do a remap which is similar to seb0 etc this gives 270hpQuote:

what are peoples experiences of them, ie reliability?? what sort of millage should you look for on these when buying, by that i mean whats classed as low on these before the engine gives up??
I saw a 16vt on ebay a while back with 213k on the clock. Owner claimed was original engine and box.
