    The car is currently running 160bhp at 0.8 bar of boost (with dyno printout to prove) and is proven both for performance and reliability - At a recent airfield drag day, i was pulling 15.0 second 1/4 mile times (also with timecards to prove) and keeping up with integra type R's and beating stuff like mini cooper S's etc.
    That doesn't sound like anything special to me. Doesn't a Seb GT pull around 14 seconds with the same if not less power? and i doubt it can keep up with a Cooper S.

    Yes i beleive this belongs to Munkul.

    "Munkul-spec turbo conversion"

    If it makes 160 at 0.8 bar from a 1.2 thats good!

    we're not talking grippy pod type surface, and we are talking about comparing 1/4 mile times for coopers/ITRs, not pissy-talk about who beat who down the highway. Said cooper belongs to my mate and was RR'ed on the same dyno at 172bhp.

    power wise and time wise its nothing special. Everything else wise its better than 99% of street puntos on here. If that makes me blow my own trumpet and sound like a ****, then so be it

    btw thanks for the publicity

    cheers

    I want to be able to insure two cars at once, and my current combo of highly modified punto and slightly modified 200sx s14 is really no good for me... I'll get a cheaper slower daily and plough some of the remaining money back into the s14. RWD coupes have taken over my life, but i'll still be gutted to see it go

    I wasn't slating it, i was just saying that spending that much money you could have made a pretty powerful GT. But not everyone is into GT's like yourself

    Certainly is different :P
