I think mine might be a ib5 then, it has the four holes in front for the mount, mine mounts to chassis leg!

Small turbo really t3 sized ish,, lol!.. just one very efficient engine, if I put a t34 and tubular manifold and bigger injectors I think it would piss 330s

Yea sounds like an IB5, if you have the mounts on the innerwing/chassis leg area you can fit an mtx75 really easily!

You sly feck!

My st220 running 345bhp kept up okay with a 410bhp evo.
Did you ever get a 1/4mile time with it running that power?

I had a VW Polo 1.1 so many years ago as a first car. I managed to beat an MG Metro, although could have been that the metro wasn't being driven properly. Later I found out the Polo had had an engine transplant to a 1.3.

Not very exciting story I know...but sticks in my mind

raced 3 different EP3 type r's in my rs turbo before i took it off the road! was nothing in it and i was running 1 bar of boost, stock engine, stock turbo, a k&n, a pace fmic and and scorpion turbo - back!

but i got roasted in my rs2000 by a 205 van running a 306 d-turbo engine with the turbo screwed out and a ford transit pump modified and butchered with the standard 305 derv pump!

Bump.

Just went for a drive with my mate in his Evo 6 325bhp. Came onto a dual carriage way with some chavy saxo behind us, it had a FMIC on it so it wasnt standard. Anyway it managed to keep along side us some how! Must have been turbo'd, supercharged or on throttle bodies. What it was on, it was fucking quick!

It's a saxo!!! Could be the fastest car in the world but it's only a saxo. Getting beaten by a saxo... Don't forget the saxo probably half a ton lighter than the evo.... or your mates evo were'nt running as good as expected...

Yeah would have been all about power to weight. His evo is running fine, it only came out the garage last week! Still annoying that some little chav in a saxo kept up.
