Waste of time and effort and you'd be left with a modified XR.

Smoke round in the XR until you've got the cash for an RST

Don't know much about RST tuning myself but it's fairly simple to get 200bhp

I'd guess at a chip, cam, exhaust and decent intercooler but I'm sure one of the RST boys will tell you for sure

Too difficult and a waste of time if you only want 200bhp

1600cc CVH is good enough for 300

That'll do for 200.............I'd add a decent air filter and that's about it........don't prat about with the 3i, buy an RST that's already done (as most are, if not nthey're halfway there). Alot cheaper and far less agg.

Forget the ZVH, just a well tuned CVH will suffice

Pauper

2. One living on or eligible for public charity.
