i know the turbo route is well proven and just about every one of my mates has laughed at me for this idea and said f*** that man, turbo it. thing is almost everyone that wants a modified fast car ends up having a turbo. all the lads around the place are driving around going wwaaaahhm tsshhh. thats not what i want, its common. i want people to look at my car and think - it shouldnt go that fast, what the hell's been done to it?
anyway i like the wolf in sheeps clothing approach. when this project's finished it'll look totally standard with subtle mods like strut brace and better shocks etc but it wont sound like a sheep.
i already have most of what i need for the conversion, its just a case of putting it all together and making it work for real.
